Goats and the Summer
i probablly won't be able to post as constantly as i did up till now over the summer because i am in a 4-H group that shows goats at fairs. it's really fun and goats aren't all that dirty even. the only time you get the most dirty is clipping them before the fair. but anyway the goats take a lot of work, time and energy to make them showable so be warned! i will have no more energy to post. also my first fair this year is the 27, 28, 29. i showed the last two years and this will be my third. the fairs are sleep over but you try and get some sleep with 15 or so kids hyped up on sugar and goats and sheep bleating repeatedly during the night. and sheep are LOUD they are one of ther loudest farm animals. i show a goat named Vanilla Mocha and she had two twin baby girls named Jamocha and Valencia. they are the cutest!!!!! i am also am going to show in two other fairs the washington county and maybe the north stonington and the Big E. by the way i live in rhode island with no accent. got to go shave my goat some more and clip her hooves

that sounds like fun, although to tell you the truth, i don't particularly like goats anymore. this is because my school once went to a hotel sort of place for the weekend for a trip, and for some reason there was a VERY aggresive goat living on the grounds. it belonged to the manager's son or something. anywho, so my friend and I were stuck outside with the goat, and we couldn't come in because the goat was blocking the door and refused to move. we finally made it inside, but...uh...the goat came in with us. now, just in case you didn't know,
goat + crowded hotel = pure chaos.
and then when we finally got the goat back outside, a few kids came and didn't believe that there was really a goat outside. so they went out to check, and then they got scared, because, as i said, it was very agressive. they ran in and locked the door, ecept one of them was left behind, so she was locked outside, getting chased around in circles by a deranged goat. it was actually quite amusing.
there was also a sheep there, but it had much better manners.
hahaha that's one of the funniest stories about goats i have ever heard!how did the other guests feel about the goat? the goats my 4-h leaders have are actually too friendly they like to eat hair and clothes and skin... and pretty much anything.
