After milking Valerie this morning, I noticed one of the goats had her head hung in the fence. Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence. Also unfortunate is the fact that THIS goat loves to work against your efforts to help her, which in turn makes me want to leave her there for the rest of her life. However, being the kindhearted person that I am, I did walk ALL the way around the fence, and I DID spend 10 minutes heaving and pulling and smashing my fingers to finally free her fat, horned head from the tiny fence square she shoved it in. Yes, the picture you now see in your mind is quite funny. However, I have to say that at the time, I wasn't laughing. No, more like calling her unkind names, all of which she never understood and won't help in preventing her from doing the same thing all over again tomorrow. *sigh* Animals are not my forte...and yet, we have so many. Go figure.
Today was our first day of school! We all made it through unscathed. In fact, the children didn't want to stop. I have a sneaky feeling this enthusiasm may not survive the full 170 days. ;)
