I may have been taking out the trash. I've been there and Sarah and Rob and I hang there awhile. Summertime is hard as everyone is busy.

Steve did we get special hats for the kids this weekend. Good chance the media will be filming them at the parade Monday. Doug said something about getting permission for them to ride on the fire trucks.

Riding in the parade would be awesome. Does Julie have time to teach Bernadette how to wave her hoof to the crowd? I know Sarah and CW are too busy today and tomorrow. Buford will have to get himself a good pair of sunglasses and an american flag to wave.

We should also get them some ear plugs, those fire truck horns are loud. In the past we have always tossed candy to the kids but best not put the bag near Buford as he has a sweet tooth. He really needs to get back to the vet for a dental check up.

Make sure the hats we get are big enough and there is room to cut out for their ears. Can't wait for this parade. This could be their big break. Didn't Arnold from Green Acres get his big break this way?

Steve, we need to Keep the candy away from Buford. I can't believe you forgot about his braces...

 

[djrockinsteve]

Exactly, that candy will get stuck in his Red White and Blue Braces. He is so patriotic. He's an American Goat as Tom Petty says.

Same with those sugar sticks. They'll rot his teeth for sure. Just say NO!

Goat Candy
Goats investigate their world with their lips. I think that’s why they have the reputation for eating everything, from laundry to tin cans. We’ve learned never to leave an open tool box within reach. They’ll mouth everything in it – but the goats don’t actually eat the screwdrivers – they just toss them about. If a cord dangles from a sweatshirt, they’ll chew on it. Shoelaces are also fair game.

Goats will taste just about anything, but that doesn’t mean that they’ll chew and swallow. Steve heard that goats like peanuts and bought a bag. Buford munched the whole peanut, crunchy shell and all. Bernadette tasted one and said patooie! I’m trying to train the goats, and would like to find a treat that both like that I can use for rewards. They love goat sweet feed, but I dole it out in very small quantities – you have to be careful with Werther's, who are prone to urinary calculi.

One thing I’d like to have the goats do is to walk nicely on leashes. Goats are easily distracted, skittish around new things, and really don’t like to be told which way to go. It’d help if I had a reward that would keep them focused on me.
I’ve found out which food makes their tails wag with excitement. Unfortunately, it’s on the ground. Now I really can’t get them to walk on the leash. I can’t get them past the sprouting acorns. Last fall, they ignored the fallen acorns. But, this spring green shoots have cracked the nuts open. It’s like the difference between a mung bean and a salad sprout. One is hard and bitter, the other sweet and chewy. It’s goat candy.

So if Buford misbehaves you can bet that Bernadette will be throwing his nuts out to the crowd.

I just stopped by the chat room and there is no sign of Buford and Bernadette and the place is a total wreck there is no wine in the cooler the back door was left open

 

[docanddeb]

My cherry tree was missing some cherries too... did those 2 crazy goats get over here too??
Good to be back home!! Those grandsons wear me out!! Not to mention the drive home!

Debbie

 

[djrockinsteve]

Well I've never in my life see a goat try to hide behind the toilet. The fireworks are going off everywhere, boom boom bang. Buford doesn't know which way to go. Hope they end soon.

 

[Runningwolf]

Debbie

I understand Bernadette is missing hers also after this holiday weekend

 

[docanddeb]

I don't think this was the FIRST weekend it went missing... Buford's smile tells all!!

We will be having a prayer vigil tonight for the raccoon rob caught in his vineyard last night. Rumor has it the raccoon is sleeping with the possums.

 

[Runningwolf]

So are you saying its going in the stew pot? I was going to ask Sarah to rack the wine in the basement but.....ahhhhh....I think I'll do it. Any one see bulford?

 

[SpoiledRotten]

Yes, summertime is hard.... and HOT! Whoever it is that is leaving after turning OFF the A/C, please consider the ones that come by after you. The bills are obviously being paid so the A/C can stay on.

BTW, I left a bottle of my best (which isn't near as good as the wine most of you guys make, but I'll get better) on the table in the corner for the next person that has to come in to a HOT chat room.

Did someone say something about riding in a parade? That is the best fun you can have. We do it every year since we bought and built the golf cart.







Then, when the parades are over for the year, I use the entry for yard art in our yard.

 

[Runningwolf]

WOW I sure like that cart. Nice job

 

[SpoiledRotten]

Thanks, Dan! It was a good "family" investment. We have a blast with it.

That was me. I had to turn it off 'cause I had to use the same circuit to operate the pump to fill in the large pond we just built. This thing is bigger than I thought it was going to be. Fortunately with the nearby creek and all the rain it's filling up quick.

Almost done so bare with us. I opened the windows overnight to cool it off.

After the water settles we can get some fish for Wade to try to catch. Sure he would like that after a hard day work.

Whoever dropped off the pink flamingo's (Dan) we are not putting them up, they look so tacky. Maybe we could get a nice statue of Baccus and erect in the center of the pond. We could have water pouring out of a decanteur like wine. That would help keep the algae from growing and we would have less mosquitos.

No worries about that raccoon bothering us as rob nixed him and Buford is afraid of water so we won't be having huge gobs of hair floating around.

Maybe this will help the attendance for ladies night Thursdays. Gonna have to have a big grand opening celebration to comemerate the pond.

Who's Up For A Party?

No one wants to see an erection of Baccus in the pond. Sorry, but that would probably give me nightmares and would probably scare off the fish!


BTW... I'd love to attend the party if invited.

So you would rather see an erect Baccus with the water coming out of else where? Or we could put him in the garden and if you pull his left....ahhhh...ear lobe, he would dispense bubbly wine.

Steve, I'll start saving up the spammers and we can use them for bait.
