Today I'm absolutely positive
In the continuing countdown towards my surgery, today was earmarked for a pre-surgical visit with the hospital physio, and then a trip out to Emu Creek to deliver Bear into the waiting paws of his mother and sister who will be keeping him company while I'm away.
There is no way he could have known what was on the cards and yet ...
- when I tried to get him to go outside for a loo break before his inCARceration, I was met with stubborn refusal instead of the usual mad dash into the great outdoors.
- when he was pushed bodily outside and left to get on with it, he sat on the doorstep and made sad eyes at me through the glass.
- when I was ready to go, he flipping well hid under the bed
of course once we got to Pete-and-Brenda's, he couldn't even wait for the car to come to a full and complete stop. The second he clapped eyes on Misty and Molly, I had to let him out or risk something diabolical happening to my upholstery. Needless to say they spent most of the next four hours chasing, being chased, rolling, jumping, passing judgement on the general lickableness of the baby goats and some secret dog business to which I was not privy.
WARNING FOR APRIL - baby goat cuteness ahead - scroll down at your own risk!

There is a Catsmum under all those cute kids

- we eventually took pity on him and let him in with them and he was so gentle, just licking faces - and other less socially acceptable portions of caprine anatomyand finally as you can see, Mr and Mrs Swan have also had a blessed event in the last week, successfully hatching five eggs.
- the house feels strangely empty without my furry little buddy - although it has to be said that, of course, the cats think it's a vast improvement.- and for my 'in real life' friends, I'll be in Mt Alexander from 7.30am Thursday.

I'm so very happy to have stumbled across your blog. You are so creative with your stories, and I enjoy looking at the pictures of your animals. The goats are absolutely adorable! I wish you the very best with your upcoming "medical adventure", and I look forward to your speedy return to good health.

Susan, I just want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I feel everything will be well and you will really enjoy having Bear home when you are well enough to enjoy his company. Take care of yourself, don't worry about anything (easy for me to say) just focus on you and getting better.
I do believe Bear knew you and him were to be parted for a while, so happy he is with others who will love him as you do.
Will check in to see how you are doing......all the best wishes I have are coming your way....Hugs
Everything will be fine & dandy. Please stay positive, enjoy the rest if you can. You, David and furbies are in my prayers. Love the goats.
Good luck and best wishes for your surgery, be good in recovery.

Jane m'dear will you please tell Ms Frances that I need ... NEED ... my report about the concert with THE BOY tonight ... pretty pretty please

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume the above is about David Hobson. Just a feeling. No idea why.
The kids are so cute! shame you can't get all 11 in one photo!
I'll talk to you tomorrow and take over your blog shortly after.
*hugs*
Have had the surgery you are having, but perhaps a little more intense as they suspected (but did not find) cancer. All went well and i will pray for your recovery too!
Of course has ESP...just look at that cute face and little body...he is obviously gifted!
Thank you for all the darling pictures as I am such an animal lover and esp of baby animals.
blessings and healing hugs,
marcy
Hi Susan, just wanted to pop in today and let you know I am thinking of you and hold you in my heart and prayers......:-) Hugs
Hi Susan - sorry I didn't get to read your comment until next day, when it was too late. Will email you a report this weekend when I'm back home.
Concert was fabulous .... choir wonderful and the 'gorgeous BOY' has never sounded better. Just divine.
Susan - that last comment was from me, but sent from Jane's computer, hence her name appeared.
Glad all went well with your op. Get better quickly.
I'm home now and will report on 'you know who' soon. Yes, Nadie, it was indeed David Hobson....however did you guess, ha,ha.
