I'm Going To Ride Penny Again

two more blankets washed and ready to be sprayed. I'm just waiting for them to dry. I'll spray them with waterproofing spray and then we are in business you guys. I think I have one more left maybe two more left to wash. Two more blankets left to wash. I was bragging to my friend that I washed all my blankets and she said she did hers in the spring and I was like yeah I should have probably done that too but anyway here we are and then she said she doesn't use blankets anymore. I Literally the only other person I know that doesn't use blankets, but our horses all can go inside and go inside like they can choose to go inside during the day and they also go inside at night. She has one that wears blankets. Penny for sure is getting a blanket this year. Hello Anya. What's new with you? What's new in the zoo? As you guys can see, we slept in today. Sun is up. It's a happy day. You can tell they can tell. They're like you slept in. I almost like it better when it's dark in the morning. Yesterday I was out walking in the field with the goats. I'll show you what I saw. You probably can't tell because there's little tufts of grass everywhere. But they ate it down. It's gone. This field is, I mean it looks like there's a lot left. There's some left. But they've eaten it. Like they did the best they've ever done on this field. And the geese have eaten it, have eaten a lot. Come on, they ate like... A big, huge semi-circle around the barn, huge. Paw's sharing with Oakley and her baby. Sophie and I get so excited to see what kind of babies we're gonna get this year. The beauty is in seeing the confirmation that you get, seeing who makes the best confirmation. And so far, we've not seen Dash. I think he'll probably make really nice babies. But Nico is our star contributor. He makes the nicest looking babies He's got long necks, long straight backs. They, that's my favorite look. I love the look of a dairy, of a dairy goat. But anyway, that's the beauty of goat birth. But the exciting part is to see what color you get. And it's not all about color, but there's a large part of it that is about color. Just as easy to sell a cute goat that has good confirmation as it is to sell an ugly goat that has good confirmation. But look at this guy. She just, she flew away. She is, she is molting. And I mean molting. She looks like a ragamuffin. She looks like a naked neck, a naked breast. I feel like we can't improve upon how cute our goats are. Like there's just no way we could get cuter than what we have. So hopefully our confirmation picks it up a notch and we have like perfect babies this year. You can't have perfect babies, but you always gotta be striving for perfect babies. Just watching them, I love looking at them. Whoa, Cinderella, she'd be looking chunky. I wonder if she's pregnant. Lola is about to be three months pregnant. Three months pregnant. Three months, she's over halfway. Sam, Lola's over halfway pregnant. He said, oh, I guess he doesn't care. There you go, have a little bit of food. She's gonna have a lot of babies, but maybe not. Last year I said she was gonna have twins, and she had four, so maybe I should be saying she's gonna have twins again. So Posey's the last one on the farm that needs her nails done, and hopefully I'll get it done today. Out you go, Posey pig. My girl, Posey. Posey's actually a super, super beloved pig. A lot of little kids love her. Hey, hey, hey. What was that? They attacked me. They came out running. They never attack me anymore. Did they actually get you? No, we got the rake. Wow. I always hold the rake behind me. I think they just don't like that kind of stuff. If you're just kind to them, they're good. I'm not mean to them. But a rake is mean. They see it as pressure. Let them follow it. They don't like to follow it. Oh, Sam, there's a dead mouse that Anya killed yesterday. Can you get it and get rid of it? I know, she catches mice. She's the best little barn cat. She lived inside for three years before she was big enough and we were brave enough to put her out in the barn. Yeah, such a good, strong, smart girl. I don't know how I did it, but I managed to make the geese think that I'm the boss of them or I'm a part of their herd. Hi, Posey. Why are you so dirty? Is it because you dug a hole in the field? I saw the hole in the field. Did you see her just tell me not to touch her nose anymore? She did a quick tip of her nose. My baby. My big, chunky baby. Her belly touches the ground. That's why she's called a potbelly. Oh, Gemma. She's so cute. Tell me she's not so cute. Hi, Jem Jem. Sophie thinks she looks moldy because she has gold spots. Very fine gold spots. And she's so soft. Listen, I need to cut your nails today. Are you up for it? Eh? What? You up for that? She's so long. You want your, your, yeah, she's like, yeah, go ahead. Do it right now. I don't have a cutters with me right now. I'm sorry. Okay. Just literally a month ago she was bald, and now she's got these big bristles. I'm sorry, am I not touching you enough? Yeah? My girl, look at those eyes. Blue, gorgeous eyes. You're so beautiful, Gemma. Don't let it go to your head. She already lets it go to her head. She can be pushy. Are you a pushy girl? She's just like her mama. Her mama. She's really close with her mama. She's calling out to her mama. She's looking for her mama. She's undecided who's better, Laura or her mama. It's me, it's me. And I just love you. Yeah. Did you hear that like, that sound like somebody was swallowing or choking? Her bringing cud up into her mouth to chew it. She's like, well, while I'm standing here getting scratched, I might as well chew my cud. Might as well eat. Such a cute baby. Tell me what's wrong with this picture. Do you guys see it? It may or may not be a goat named Cinderella inside the feeder. Yep, she's inside there. This little girl is Oakley's little girl. Looks exactly like Oakley. And she has brown eyes, just the way Oakley has brown eyes. And we like blue eyes around here. But with a gold goat, when their eyes match their hair, it's cute. We like goats with brown eyes. Look at all these white goats, all white and gold goats. Are we going to have more? So she won't have babies this year. Not till next year. She's a cutie though. I just like you guys to get a feel for what it's like to be in a goat field, just sitting here in the straw and the hay, just relaxing, spending five minutes, and getting to be surrounded by all these little pets. They are like little dogs and they're so wonderful other than they headbutt each other. That is a baby! We don't hurt babies, like what the heck? She's your granddaughter, we don't hurt granddaughters. She was hurting your daughter. Oakley's like, that's okay. Oakley's weaning now, finally weaning. There's the other granddaughter. There she is, don't you be mean to that baby. She's your flesh and blood. Sylvia and I love a redhead with blue eyes though. There she goes with her babies. So she's following her mom and they're following their mom. Having multiple generations on the farm has been amazing. After yesterday handling the boy goats, I got some new collars for them to make it a little easier. It's cold. It's warm out. That's what it is when the sun comes out. I also got another sleeping bag for the pigs because sleeping bags are the best thing for them. What's the problem? You're controlling. That's not cool. I wish so much that I could Open the gate and let the boys run with the girls, but then we'd have no control over who was bred to who and we have babies I really want to take pictures of our goats though and ask chat GBT which one looks nicest So there's that one and then there's that one put your leg together And then there's this one you can't tell when they're not standing the right way. He's got not he's nice These two I think are nicer, but we'll see You look so nice in blue. They do not want it. You'll have it. Oh, what a good boy. Way too tight. Come here. Come here, baby. You're such a good boy. You're gonna throw me. I did it. I might stink now. You guys probably didn't see, but I got one on. I had to hold him with my legs. I have to change my pants. These are some of my favorite jeans. I love them. All right, who else? I'll have to put them on. Tonight, I'll put them on tonight when you're in your stall. The reason that I like sleeping bags so much is that They are harder for them to rip. All right. Well the one down there is ripped Look at this what their bed looks like in the morning when they wake up. They don't even make their bed I have to make it every night for them, but they're harder for them to rip and if and they're heavy they're heavy So when I make them into a bed and they climb under they kind of hold everything down for them I don't know. I like it. I like them And I feel like they can never have enough blankets for the winter. That's what I feel like. I feel like there's never too many blankets for a pig. I'm going to take some clippers out with me. I have one really good pair and then two less good pairs. And I don't know which one is which. So these are exactly the same. Oh, that sucks. The other pair that I need is missing. Come on, posy pig. I'm going to trim your little footsies. Come on. Here they come. Little button in the lead. Cricket, does she look pregnant? I'm coming out to spend time with you guys. Here they come. I'm going to just grab one of these rocks in the sun. As much sun as possible. I'm just going to sit here and see if Posey will come up. Wow, I haven't even sat down yet. And I'm surrounded. Oh. I'm looking at the goats and there's Posey. Alright, go away. I just want Posey. Oh. And Gemma apparently. Hi Gem. All right, and Pippa? Hard to see because the sun is so strong. Don't go anywhere, Posey. As soon as Gemma gets bored of me. My girl Gemma and my girl Poshy, their fur is so soft. So soft. Posey, I'm waiting for you to... Whoa, the sun is strong. Holy moly. Hi, babe. Oh, I just love you. I could just kiss you. She's like, I love you too, Laura. You do, don't you? You just love me. Either that or you're pushy. Ghosts have like this thing about them that I feel like they never truly love you back the way you love them. It's more like, get out. It's more like they just want to see if they can take you for as much as possible. They're like scammers. You're a scammer, aren't you? Are you a scammer? Winston! Honestly, Winston. It's Winston so bad. Oh my goodness. I just love her. Just love her. Like, her eyes are so light blue, so light blue, and your pink collar. One of my animals finally got the cutest thing, although I'm sure Sophie would say, Hey, Posey, come back here. I need to do your feet. Come on back. Oh, she lays down. Always lays down far away from me so that I can't sit up against the rock and cut her feet. I've got to move all the way over there now. Alright, I'm going to put the camera down because Winston's just going to try and break the camera. Get out of your mouth. And I'm going to try and do her. I'm actually really excited about how these goats are going into winter. Like you can even tell on Winston. He's just soft. Even Cricket is still super shiny. They're all shiny going into winter. Looking so good. All right, I got to go see my horse. I'll be back. I don't know if you guys can see how shiny she looks. Shiny. Gemma. Slowly. Charlie, these guys are following me around. Starting to be my friends, don't you worry. I'll get some food for you. I'll get a snack for you. All right, Penny, but I can't bring myself to do it because her joints are sore. She gets sore joints and I can't ride her because of it. Why do your eyes look like that? Okay. That's what Adam said. Reaching for the grass. This is the longest her hair has been in a long time. She kinda has like, she has medium hair, it's not so thick. It's actually perfect, other than it gets really thin as it goes down. She's not one that's gonna have like a big long mane, but I like it, your mane is so cute, yeah. I just, I cannot believe the calmness I feel. Wow, you're so soft. The calmness I feel in Penny. Before she was reactive, you guys know, she was, you were reactive before. She wants to kiss me. That's what she's trying to do so she can get a treat. You gotta stop doing that. Only when I ask. She was super reactive and like a little bit scary because she had like, I don't know, like an old lady throwing a fit. And now she's not like that at all other than when she wants to try and kiss me. But other than that, she's not reactive anymore. Not with me. She is with the other horses when there's treats involved. But she's just calm now. Is it because you're an old girl, or because you love me and you trust me? I think it's both, but I think she trusts me. Oh, ew, what was that? The grossest thing. See, that's what I have to do. I have to bring everybody, I have to take her out, just like I have to take Winston away to spend time with my goats, safely and happily. But she is fluffy, so fluffy and dusty, very dusty. Not chubby at all, though. She's like... Not a bad weight. You're not a bad weight, Penn. We worked all summer to get you to this weight. That's the thing about having a farm. When you're bored, you got nothing else to do. There's always something to do. You're never bored on a farm. All right, out you go. Hold on. Here, I always give her a treat when I leave, too. There you go. Go play. Don't get dirty. The only horse that didn't come for a treat is my Stormy. Don't you know that you're just the way you are.
