It's hard to watch at times. <br />If I ever brought a goat into the house I think Piper would stop speaking to me! Right after she snuck into the kitchen and emptied the rubbish across the entire room.Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-8058957550687044512014-07-30T21:42:55.494-04:002014-07-30T21:42:55.494-04:00She is!

I was glad we were in a house and not in a trailer that night! The lilies do look amazing in the after-storm lighting. I love it when a good storm clears the air. Poor little Tsuga :( There's always a pecking order in animals, but hopefully they don't fret over it in the same way we do. My sister has horses, and her 36 year old mare got hounded horrendously by the other horses because she was so old (she used to be top of the bunch!). But when my sister separated her from the others to give her some relief, Penny would whinny and scream for the others so badly, that she finally put them back together again. It's just the way things were. We used to sneak our baby goat into the house ;) She put the poor dog in his place on those occasions!

What those folks don't see are the nasty behavior that sometimes results in injury or death. Animals, like humans, can be cruel and mean just because. I see it every day in the horse herd where there's a pecking order. Sometimes that order changes but rarely. Anyway, it's been wet here, chilly as well and, last night, I slept in a flannel nightgown and was comfortable. Be safe out there Quinn.Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-19833086862146423472014-07-29T06:55:06.086-04:002014-07-29T06:55:06.086-04:00I would love a cuddle with Tsuga, she just looks s...I would love a cuddle with Tsuga, she just looks so soft and fluffy!Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-26960527051699175192014-07-29T00:09:43.544-04:002014-07-29T00:09:43.544-04:00It's amazing how your half of the country has ...It's amazing how your half of the country has been getting soooo much rain and the half I live on is soooo dry. If only we could spread that rain out across the country so we could all get what we need. That sure was a downpour you got! Looks like a waterfall from the roof! Humidity is nice to a point but I totally understand how it gets tiring after a while...especially when it's hot. The extreme dryness is tough on the sinuses but much easier to do stuff without getting soaked so quickly in sweat. I'm glad you and the goats are ok. That's so interesting about the light after the storm. Wow! Take care!Acorn to Oakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334558675705027610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204374863752308898.post-86536597047211810772014-07-28T22:22:40.696-04:002014-07-28T22:22:40.696-04:00You have such understanding of your goats and empa...You have such understanding of your goats and empathy with them. How lucky they are. And those massive drenching storms with lightning and booming all night, sounds like our weather here in central NJ at the moment. Followed by clear lovely day, low humidity. Low for us, that is!Boudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641013916263271948noreply@blogger.com
