In which Madeline is leaving for an Adventure and goats are dumb
Madeline and Monkey Jack Paisley Baileyschild are leaving this week for a big adventure:
 |
| Madeline and MJPBc |
teaching at a public high school in south Texas!
We are going to miss her like crazy.
 |
| Cowboy Jim and his biggest horsegirl |
Before she could leave the Swampland, she had to take one last-time-for-a-long-time ride on Ross.
 |
| Ross looks pretty good for an "old" horse, doesn't he? |
Then they came over to Haiku Farm for dinner and presents. MJPBc had to choose one toy to take to Texas. It was a difficult decision
 |
| "I can choose boff?" |
Just so you know, People of Texas, that weird new noise is the sound of Squeaky Frog. No need to be alarmed.
 |
| She loves the Squeaky Frog |
MJPBc has a vivid imagination.
 |
| Somehow, the orchard became a vast savanna |
She stalked the elusive-but-hapless warthog for many patient minutes...
 |
| Sun beating down on the parched plain |
the warthog remained clueless throughout the game.
 |
| There is no truce among fierce animals, not even at the waterhole. |
Some folks might say that Luna is dumb, but they wouldn't say that if they met Lupin Goat Gruff. Here's his latest adventure:
 |
| Dumber than your average goat...and that's sayin' somethin'. |
He stuck his head through the field fence wire to nibble grass on the other side, and got his head stuck. Please note that less than 6 feet from the goat is a gate into the pasture, and the gate is standing wide open.
Luna is grateful that God made goats. Goats make Luna look clever by comparison.
Me, I just take pictures and laugh a lot before I get the goat un-stuck again. It took two people to un-stick him. Dumb goat. I wonder if they have smarter goats in Texas?
I hope not.
I laughed really hard at this post - especially the Luna scene. Thank you for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteToo funny. I loved Luna as the hapless warthog, too.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Wish Madeline best of luck for me - on her new adventure!
ReplyDelete"Luna is grateful that God made goats. Goats make Luna look clever by comparison." - possibly the best line ever.
ReplyDeleteI saw floofs at Gold Country! Of course I get tongue-tied whenever I see them, because I immediately start to say "OH LOOK AT THE FLOOFS" and then I remember that's not what ~~normal~~ people call them, Funder, that's what AARENE calls them, use your words - and by that point the regal Sheltie has led its owner right past me and I'd look even weirder if I said anything.
ANYWAY. I saw Shelties at Gold Country, and the SECOND time I ran into them I managed to get it together and have a nice normal conversation with the Floof Owner.
It *might* be just me that officially calls them floofs. But I'm pretty sure that if you said "Oh, LOOK at the beautiful floofs", the floofateers would know *exactly* the dogs to which you referred.
DeleteJust sayin'. >g<
