Why it's not my fault my back hurts.... subtitled, "Down on the Farm"....
It's a beautiful day, muddy as all get out.. breezy, but still, a lot better than ice and 10 below. I went out to feed the goats. They were VERY happy to see me, since it's the every other day day... meaning they get grain. I got out to the overturned water trough with the scoop of grain, and started pouring it out, bending over pretty far to make sure that everyone could get some. In his haste to eat as much as he could, Gruff jumped on top of the water trough, but unfortunately, his side touched the electric fence as he landed, catapulting him straight ahead right into my chest.... I yelled at him, and half threw him back, but his horns were caught under my left arm and jacket.... which didn't make it any easier to stop him from pummeling me again, since he hit the electric fence again. By this time, Simon and Pee Wee were fully engaged in the grain,and none to happy to have Gruff land on top of them, so they threw him off with their horns right into and partially OVER me, which was still very interesting, since his horn was still caught in my armpit............ We are now disengaged, he's eating, and I'm taking a break.
So how was your day??????
Cheryl
