36. Goats think that they know how to put up a hot wire better than I do.
37. Goats think that they know how to use your tools.
38. Goats think that the content of the bucket of tools looks better on the ground than in the bucket.
39. Bottle babies are loud (and annoying) when they want their milk.

Can you guess what I just got done doing tonight?

Given all the help it appears you had, NOTHING? :idunno:he:hide

I did have a lot of helpers, even the bucks got to help this time. It was 100° outside and I just wanted to get done, but no, I had to chase goats to get back my cutters and my bag of insulators. BRATS!!! And the babies were screaming for dinner and I was going quickly insane. The bucks are just starting rut so it was nice and smelly too and they were also getting frisky. Every time I would lean over to pick something up I would literally be watching my back. My bucks are friendly but can be too friendly when in rut. And then I would put in insulator on a post and they would try and pull it off. :barnie

So yeah, I did NOTHING. :lol:

I had a yellow insulator that was broken and I thought maybe my puppy would like to chew on it. You should have seen the look she gave me when I tried to give it to her; She wouldn't get near it. I don't care what people say, dogs are not color blind and she KNEW that those insulators mean trouble. She may be a brat, but she is a smart brat.

They esp love insulators and i dont understand why. We had them running off with whole bags or stealing insulators from the bucket and chewing on them too..or dumping it over. Pretty much makes ya want to murder them :he

45. Goats always point out if their hooves need trimming (stamp, stamp, paw, "look MaaMaa, my hooves!"), and then proceed to fight against you every second you are trying to trim them.

No joke, last night the boys kept stamping their feet and showing us their terribly unkempt hooves, but do they want to be still and have them trimmed???
