We finally got our Goat's! We are so excited, Tim built them a special Hay Rack, so everyone had a place to eat. He moved the fence feeders down where they would be able to spread out. And now he is fencing to make their area a lot bigger for them to graze.
So I decided Tim was doing all these wonderful things for them, that I would also spoil them a little by taking the goats a treat! I mean after all I give our dogs a treat, how hard could it be?
Tim was always with me when we feed the goats, however this is a snack, nothing like the feedings. So off I went with by box of Vanilla Wafers!
When I got to the fence I noticed it was a little awkward opening and shutting the gate with the goats all around me, but I did it! Confidently I thought "I got this". So in my infinite naivety, I proceeded with a big smile on my face to open the box and hand them a cookie one at a time. I stuck my hand in the box, pulled out a cookie.........
The next thing I saw was the sky and I could feel and see all the goats around me. I heard the sound of tearing paper. I immediately rolled over and got to my feet, just in time to see the box torn in half and vanilla wafers flying through the air! I went over picked up the trash, put my jacket back on, (I only had one arm in), put my hair back up in my hair clip, brushed the dirt and hay from my clothes and walked back up to the house. When I reached the porch, I turned and looked around humiliated that someone might have seen what had just happened!
I have never talked about it until now, and I pretty much always go with Tim to feed, but when I'm ready and I go the next time, and there will be a next time, I will be ready! After all I raised 3 kids didn't I? How hard could goats be! The Farmer's Wife article for The Poolville Post
