Nanny Goats

One day we bought a huge watermelon. After I cut it all up, I had a bucket of watermelon rind that needed to be dealt with. Since Mike does not like Watermelon Rind Pickles I needed another idea. So, what does this have to do with,,,,,,

This?????

The answer is this! Nanny Goats! Our neighbor has two Tennessee Fainting Goats and they happen to love watermelon. Molly came running right over when I started chucking pieces of rind over the fence.

This one was a bit shy, but eventually she came over to enjoy the feast.

Yummy in their tummy!

Now Mike kept insisting that I take Lili and Kele with me to feed the goats, but I refused. Lili is a herding fool and if she knew the goats were back there she might head over there frequently to try and herd them. When I got back home Mike informed me of the goats being able to "faint" when they get scared. I would have freaked out if they had fainted thinking my dog(s) had scared them to death. But now that I know,, maybe next time I'll take the girls.
