Sam And Gracie's Playdate
Sitting quietly against the fence in the goat pasture,
I witnessed this scene yesterday afternoon.
Missy to Nettie, "What is that out in the pasture?"
"I'm not sure," Nettie whispered back.
"It seems to be all legs and they're writhing every which way!"
"Look! Now it's hidden behind a chicken!" said Sissy.
It was apparent that Sam was trying his darnedest to entice Gracie to play with him.
Naturally, curiosity got the best of her.
"Wanna chase me?" asked Sam.
"Maybe," said Gracie, teasingly.
But, like every other time, she was only teasing...
and she turned on her heels and headed back to the hay feeder.
Sam, of course, followed her.
"Come on," said Sam, "chase me!"
This little game when on for quite some time.
Each time Gracie would move just a little,
sending Sam into a tailspin.
With each false start that Gracie made,
Sam darted away...
enticing her to chase him.
Which, sadly (for Sam) she never did.
And so it is, most times, for Sam.
Great hopes for a rousing game of chase just don't seem to materialize.
Sam does, however, provide a lot of entertainment for the girls...
And the rest of the goats.
Sam gives up on play and heads for some refreshment.
Gracie calls behind him, "Hey Sam, wanna play chase?"
What a tease you are Gracie!
Tell me...
isn't she just about the cutest little goat?

Moving Day
It was a big weekend for Gracie and the twins, as well as Ginger and MaryAnn. Gracie and the girls spent their first day in their new enclosure...as neighbors to the pigs. With dogs safely and temporarily stowed behind the garden fence...I worried that...

Patience Pays Off
After weeks of patiently waiting,sitting quietly by the fence... observing and dreaming...Sammy had his day in the sun,and met the baby goats. He sat patiently by my side...hoping. While Missy gathered her little ones around her as far away as possible....
