This is invented by my own mind, Hank was never stolen! I like to write stories for English class and such, and I thought it would be fun to write one about Hank :)

Part Two
He skipped down the road for some time, happy that he was returning home. Finally, he would be back with his friends in their nice green pasture. He walked for miles, passing almost no one on the road. Every now and then he would stop to nibble a tasty looking bush, but for the most part he kept his sights set on going home. Night started to fall, and with it came the sounds of the animals who roamed the woods after dark. Hank started to get nervous, but being such a brave little goat, he just bristled up the hair on his neck, put his ears back, and continued on. Nothing could stop him now, he thought. Suddenly, thunder started rumbling in the sky. Rain started pouring down in sheets, and lightning flashed brilliant bolts into the night. Forgetting any of his fears of the woods, Hank tumbled off the road and into the undergrowth. Hopefully, he could find some shelter underneath the canopy of the trees. He crashed around in the brush for some time before finding a large tree, and curling up in a ball against its trunk. The tree branches and skunk cabbage leaves on the ground gave him at least partial protection from the downpour. He stayed there all night, shaking from the cold and fear. When the storm passed on in the early morning hours, he was able to doze off, and get an hour or two of sleep. He woke to a forest that was dripping from the rain, but sunny and cheerful looking. He could hear birds singing in the treetops and somewhere close by he heard the sound of a stream. He rose, stretched his stiff muscles, and had a good back scratch on the bark of his tree. He set off for the stream to get a drink, and when his thirst was quenched he started off to find the road again. He couldnt find it. Last nights rain had washed away any tracks he might have made, and in his panic he hadnt taken time to notice where he was going. In the simplest of terms, he was lost.

Package Recieved: Largest spool I have ever laid eyes on

Thoughts: This thing is fluffing AWESOME :cool:

This is gonna be good.

They look like the ones we got for our goats. I honestly thought the goats wouldn't be able to get on them at first, but BlackJack proved me wrong!

Marlowmanor- I'm hoping mine can get up, otherwise I'll just have to bring it inside and use it as a chair! :lol:

Mine hang out underneath them too. They provide great shade for them. Just make sure you put some wood over tha places where there are holes. Don't need injured goats.

With their small spool I just slapped some duct tape over the hole, and it's held up very well....this one has a couple more holes in the top, but not enough to be a problem. I enjoy it very much, it's a lot more comfortable than you'd think!

Gave up and dyed the rest of my hair red, now I'm a tomato...waiting for a phone call while listening to a Pink Floyd marathon and working on Hank's Story :)

I got Bonnie on the stand and trimmed her hooves earlier....I tend to put off doing hers because they're so tiny that I usually get a little blood by accident :/ I have my french final exam tommorow, which I really don't want to go to. I'm not even taking the class next year, so why should i have to take the test that allows me to pass on to next year?? Unfortunately, the teacher and I don't see eye to eye on that, so I'm still taking it. Oh boy, and what fun. Not.

Part 3
This was the first time Hank had been genuinely upset- before; he always knew where the road was. As long as he knew where the road was he could always find the way home. He walked slowly back to the tree and halfheartedly took a nibble of leaf. For the first time in his life, a snack didnt make him feel better. He was a determined goat, however, and soon began looking for the trail again. Hours passed, and still he found nothing. Exhausted, he returned to sit in the shade of his tree and have a drink at the stream. He curled up again into a ball but found he was unable to sleep. Finally, he stood up, picked a random direction, and started walking.

Me and Ownedby3alpacas spent part of the day at our sisters house, making cookies for Fathers Day....tommorow we're taking him to the Texas Roadhouse for lunch :) I've never been there but I've heard good things about it


Got my first experience squeezing pus out of a goats face :sick , now I'm really gonna have second thoughts about cottage cheese... It wasn't actually too bad, just mildly unsettling. VERY upsetting for Elf, but she should get over it. For now. Until I start poking her with needles :hide



Thinking about working on perfecting my sweet potato fry recipe. By which I mean, I'm gonna make sweet potato fries :lol: They're awesome! I can't cook much, but I swear I would kill for these :drool
