Female Handler recalls seeing a vintage 1940's sign near the cappuccino machine on the Seacat ferry on Friday that said..."Have some coffee! You can sleep when you're dead." Yes, the sign was in English. The coffee bar was just to the right of the big screen TV that was showing a Ted talk for the one hour passage across the widest river in the world.
So many things that make you do a double take... Where am I again?
I'm a Maine Coon cat and I live on a farm in Colonia, Uruguay.
And as of last night, we more than doubled our resident goat population. For the time being, I am bigger than the new kids, but that will probably only be the case for another two weeks. They are testing out their legs today, and soon will get the hang of jumping and hopping. I've been down this path before but the dog, Nostra, is taking it all in with wide eyes. She's rather like a human mother: bossy, demanding, and always cleaning up after the kids. And when she does come in to find her bed, she conks out completely. But she's a dog, and these are goats, and one day the realization will hit her probably about the time that she's licking their behinds, that she cannot mother them for the rest of their lives. For the time being though...it's rather enjoyable to watch how consumed she is with attending to the goats. And truth be told, she's leaving me and my butt alone. We ought to have new kids every week....
Not even waiting for first light, Male Handler is checking the anatomy
And Canine Nanny...always vigilant
So the outcome from the births are: two white boys, and two honey girls.
The herd is growing!
