Granny's gone and done it again

[SourRoses]

Ok I want to whine about something gross, please.

The neighbors have a male goat that thankfully stays on that side of the fence (unlike the ladies, who are separate, and bring the babies over here).
Anyway, the stench is so awful from that goat I can tell when he's close to the fence without looking.
The other day I glance over, and he's in a crazy position. I thought, "Is he stuck? Do I need to tell the neighbors?" So I walked closer and watched for a minute and realized this thing is peeing on his own face. Some random memory pops up about some similar critters peeing on themselves (antelopes? I dunno) and then as I'm staring, appalled, this thing starts to drink it's own urine.
It's the most revolting creature. Besides alligators, I mean. Nothing can be grosser that purposefully rotted meat eating, poo-water drinking slime squirmers.

But anyway, now I am purposefully avoiding looking in that direction on the property, which isn't exactly convenient due to the layout.

Eww.......

Eww.......

Sorry! I just had to whine about it somewhere.

I try not to give mom any additional reason to be mad at goats, as they're being absolute nuisances lately. But we really like our neighbors and they have a new baby, demanding jobs, etc. and have done us some favors with the husbands tools.
So we just keep cleaning goat poo and trying to reset our fencing to spare the potted plants and the fence under the rv which they have totally bent and deformed so they can hang out under there. We have sprayed them with the hose a lot but they just come back when we're not looking.
We need a tougher, taller fence, but paying for it is the problem. oy

Male goats do that to entice females.

That's not uncommon. I had one that did that then turned and smiled at me while it ran out of his mouth. Pretty rank creatures.

I slept for quite a while. I hope Im not up for the night.I have found a mattress for Tom in Carrollton Ky. Memory foam med. firm, 8 inch and NIB for $100. Its at Trader bakers which is like a big indoor flea market. Problem is Nancy loading it. I cant bring Robert because he will need to stay here with Tom.

Can you bring Tom too?

Did you listen to Conference at all? Copy it?
Loved President Oaks talk on avoiding contentious talk, but talk as a peacemaker. Within our world of family, of social, and politics.
President Nelson was there for the second hr. In a wheelchair. Looked good for 100 years old.

No I will watch tonight.

Very normal. Actually lots of animals eat poop and lick pee. Foals eat their mother’s manure to populate the good bacteria in their gut. Animals know how to stay healthy.

Put up a hot wire. Not cheap either but very convincing.
