pssst...get a load of this broad?!
Psssst. Hey, you? You, yes you. I'm talking to you folks, the people who read Jenna's blog. It's me, Bonita. I've been running this one-goat farm pretty much by myself and then all of a sudden this Francis girl shows up? Get a load of this broad?! I was just minding my own business, basking in the sun, when a white truck pulled up and this baby gal the size of a fat beagle shows up and wants to be my roomie? I'm okay with it, but get this, she is TERRIFIED of chickens. She saw a Swedish Flower hen and ran away like it was on fire, or going to make her eat tiny, gravied meatballs. What a riot! Anyway, she'll probably be cool. Right now all she can talk about is her registration papers and goat shows and how fancy she is. Whatever. I produce a gallon a day. It's like what the pine trees say when all the maples start budding and get all excited they are finally green again. BIRCH, please!?!
A GALLON A DAY!

What a great start to my day! Thanks for the chuckle.
I've been silently stalking your blog for.. oh, geez, forever now.. and never felt the need to comment. Until today. This post cracked me up. LOVE it. And thank you for feeding my milk-goat dream.
That gave me the giggles, thank you. Much needed on a horrible, grey wet day :)
Bonita,
I think Francis is pint-size so go easy on her, please. Haha.
Jenna, you are hilarious! This whole caprine adventure is really inspiring you, isn't it?
Welcome to your new home, Francie!! Don't worry, you & Bonita will be good friends after awhile. The chickens won't hurt you and, besides, you're much bigger than them. They're just little fuzzy-butts!!
LOL!
That was best blog post ever! Thanks for posting so much today so we can live vicariously through your goat adventures!
Olberhaslis are awesome! I have Nigerian Dwarfs but our breeder also does Olberhaslis and it was a tough choice between the two breeds (a choice I was finally able to make after seeing the tiny baby Nigies running around in the play yard - too stinkin cute!)
Thanks for the intro, Bonita. I've been admiring you for days now. I'm sure you'll be able to calm her down in time. Meanwhile, enjoy the excitement. And yes, you're the impressive one! A gallon a day? Congrads.
What a couple of lovely girlies! Will they be BFF's? Or frenemies? Time will tell. ;-)
Bonita, you inspired me to buy goat milk feta cheese for the first time. It's yummy. Keep on producing!
Love you, Bonita! Keep giving that milk, Girl!
Love you, Bonita! Keep giving that milk, Girl!
Love this post.
I want a goat. How big will your fat beagle get?
I could probably tell my neighbors that it is a fat beagle. Might be hard to explained the milking part though.
ROTFL!!! What a hoot! But seriously, are you going to torture us like that, and only give us one little half shot of the new gal???? MORE PICTURES!!! ;)
Psst Bonita, FrancIs is the male version of the name. I assume you mean FrancEs if your new roommate a female.
I do know understand why goat owner are sometimes referred as Crazy Goat Lady ... Enjoy the bounty
Ahahaha! This made me laugh so hard. I hope we get to hear more from Bonita in the future. :)
What a hoot! Glad your gal's got a roomie, I'm sure they'll be best buds in no time!
Jenna,
Your writing is AMAZING!!
Love your new girlies.
Blessings,
Cathy
Shouldn't you quarantine the new girl for a while to make sure they aren't spreading any germs? I'd hate to think that she brought some bug to CAF and you didn't spot it in time to keep it from transmitting to Bonita. Also, I thought Francis was the male version and Frances is female?
I love reading posts that the critters write. It helps us to see the truth in the blogs we read. Bonita, thanks for keeping us in the loop. And tell Francis to hang in there...
That is so funny!!!! I am glad She's occupied with the chickens. And Bonita is such a great goat. A gallon a day!? I'm getting that barely from 2 does but they have kids still on them. They are 6 and 4 weeks still. So I will be in the cheese business soon. Can't wait to hear more about the girls.

Love it-what do the sheep think ...is the chicken strutting around now that she
scared a goat?? Francis is a great name...remember the children's book series about Francis...I recall she was a badger and liked jam.
That was funny ☺
