The Peacemaker

Ah, the goats.   I am loving watching the Littles incorporate themselves into the rhythm of the barnyard.  This experience is SO much more positive than when Jessie came to live here.  It’s exactly what I was hoping for!

To make things even better, Jessie has taken it upon himself to keep the peace in the barnyard.  This means one thing and one thing only – keeping Brandy in line.  I have no idea why Brandy is so inherently grumpy. I’m guessing it’s because she wasn’t raised with other goats and never learned to play well with others.

I caught this little interaction recently.  It all happen in less than a minute, and I don’t think Sammy moved an inch the entire time.  It was like he was trying to be invisible. (Maybe he’s a conflict avoider like me!)

Look at Kenny show Brandy he's not gonna be pushed around!

Look at Kenny show Brandy he’s not gonna be pushed around!  That’s some kinda attitude!

Go Kenny!

Go Kenny!

Um, 'scuse me.  What's going on here?

Um, ‘scuse me. What’s going on here? (Look at the ears on Brandy!)

Break it up you two!

Break it up you two!

Good grief, really?  Again?

Move along now, move along...

Move along now, move along…

I'm not leaving until you start being nice to each other!

That's better, Brandy!

That’s better, Brandy!  Gentle is the name of the game!

Much better!  Come on in for a little group love, you two!

That’s what I like to see! Come on in for a little group love, you two!

Thanks, Jessie.  Don’t know what we’d do without you!

  1. They are cute! I cannot wait to get our goats. I thought I was ready to go for it a couple months ago but had to put the breaks on… If all goes well we will have our own buddies here in the next couple months 🙂 In the meantime I sure love seeing your guys. It fills the void while I wait.

  2. Joan, there are days when I think I’ve got to have some goats/sheep, but I think I probably won’t cope with the responsibility that goes with it. So,… I’m glad that I can just enjoy reading the fun side of bringing up your farm friends without having to face the responsibility. Looking forward to your next post and more… 🙂

    I’ll have to give that Brandy a talkin’ to when I see her! Congrats on the new members of the barnyard. Looks like a place I would like to live!
