Faintless Goats
The holiday weekend was busy....
lots of guests, lots of great food, lots of fun.
One of the planned activities with Saturday's guests
was fainting pictures of the goats.
We figured that with the help of people that the goats
had never seen before, we would be able to illicit a faint.
Nettie B. was first.
Everyone encircled her,
and then jumped
and shouted.
She stiffened up.....
and fell over.....
Finally.....success!
Fred and Sally?
Well, our friendliest of babies were impossible to frighten.
The most we could get out of them was a little stiffness
followed by them hopping away...stiff legged.
