... that tried to steal Christmas. How can a 3 foot high goat reach a 7 foot Christmas decoration? Flat footed, with nothing to stand on. It is exactly 7 feet from the floor of the barn to the bottom end of our cherished Christmas decoration. Yet, magically, it is now missing its bottommost greenery. Out came the ladder and the Goatmother moved it just a little bit higher. Despite the fact that it is somewhat cropped now, and the bow is a little askew, it still looks pretty good. Christmas spirit has been preserved. For the moment. The Grinch is still eyeballing it. Oy.

Perhaps you own that interesting and rare goat species that has the telescoping neck...
ReplyDeleteDear Denise,
ReplyDeletePerhaps you are right. It sure ain't a telescoping intellect.
Focus and lots of goat yoga to help with stretching. That's what we practice here. :-)
ReplyDeleteI guess someone's mantra is: where there is a will, there is a way. Stretching might be involved, but I suspect psychokinetic abilities are being tested. One goat assisting another to levitate is possible. Watch out for disturbing relocation stories near you. Isn't the goatfather due for a trip?
ReplyDeleteNever underestimate the ingenuity of an animal where food is involved! Perhaps it was bouncing that did it?
