But It Itches!

January 26, 2014 by Joan Hobbs

Of all the things to scratch your head on, you choose my LEG?

Sometimes I wonder what goes on inside their heads. I’m out there in the barnyard and I look over and something odd is going on. It happens all the time.

I caught this one a few days ago. Jesse seemed to think it would be a good idea to use Brandy as a scratching post. It went on for what seemed like forever. Brandy barely moved the entire time. Sometimes Jessie comes round looking for a little closeness and Brandy head butts him halfway across the barnyard. But being a scratching post? No problem.

I may never understand them, but man, I love ’em.

Here’s the video version, for your viewing pleasure!

I think goats are as much fun as pigs and dogs. They all seem to have the same happy go-lucky attitudes!
