Had a lovely drive with Finn and Sputnik in the wagon today. I drove them to the hardware store and picked up a dowel rod so I can make a new yoke. I'm not entirely pleased with the one we've been using and I think I can design it better. Everyone loved seeing them tied in front of the store with the wagon in tow. I love that they're well-trained enough by this point that we can take long breaks and not have to start over. They weren't rusty at all and acted like we've been practicing every week.

Than sounds so cool! I would love to see a goat waggon tied outside a hardware store!

That certainly would have been a sight! Is there a hardware store in Rye or did you need to drive further afield?

It's the hardware store in Colorado City and it's right near the golf course where we regularly drive, so all we had to do was cross the highway. Very convenient!

I took Sputnik out for a walk around Lake Beckwith today. It was just me and him. He was a very good boy and seemed to enjoy leaving Finn home. Finn has been sulky about getting caught lately and when I went to catch Sputnik, Finn hung back as usual while Sputnik trotted over. But I had to laugh when I got home because before I could get the truck tailgate down to let Sputnik out, Finn had his feet up on the bumper and was craning his neck over the tailgate like he wanted in the truck. After that he spent some time glaring at me in an accusatory fashion--"You forgot to take ME with you!"
Silly goat! Maybe he if he knows he might get left behind, he'll stop playing hard-to-catch so often.

We threw out Christmas tree out last night. The goats had a hey-day with it this morning and by noon it was completely denuded--needles, bark, and many of the smaller branches were all gone. Phil said, "Well, the goats have thoroughly put
this Christmas six feet under!"
This is what our tree looked like by noon the next day:

Well the past few days have not been very warm. So Mufasa and Licorice hogged the camera.
Mufasa was sure that the camera was for him.
Licorice thought she was going to get left out.
I told her that I wasn't going to forget her, so she had to set her self up and look pretty.
She doesn't now that the camera is being pointed at her.
I did manage to get a picture or two of the other goats.
Wonder decided to look pretty too, I told she's pretty any way.
