Country roads


Baby Goats!
1/22/11 - Hey y'all! 

I am having a blast in Bambergland.  Buster has hurt his leg and is holding it up all the time.  All of this started yesterday.  He cried all night.  I wound up giving him benadryl so he would sleep - don't judge me.  He was so bad this morning that we decided we needed to take him to the vet.  When we got to the vet he said "you're not from around here, are you?"  Apparently I didn't talk Southern enough.  They x-rayed Buster and he said that I really should take him to the vet when we get home because he would generally refer someone to an orthopedist.  He was able to give me some pain meds to make Buster feel better. 

As we were leaving Greensboro Mrs. Janet decided we needed to run by a grocery store to get hamburger meat.  We road around the metropolis of Greensboro for a while without finding any grocery store.  Well, at city hall there were some guys out front with signs that read "ABI, We need an investigation".  Mrs. Janet and all her curiosity decided that we needed to stop and ask those guys were a grocery store was and we could also learn what they wanted the ABI to investigate.  So, I pulled over on the side of the road and she and I walked over and asked how to find a grocery store - apparently it was close to where we were the whole time.  We then learned that their brother had died suspiciously and his estranged wife ran away with the money.  Their brother was a millionaire from some power company accident that left him without one arm and without a hand on the other arm.  They said that they had to start with their local court house before ABI would get involved.  Interesting right?  Just think, we never would have known this if we hadn't stopped to talk to perfectly harmless strange men in camo.  Did I also mention that Mrs. Janet left me to the weirdest looking one of the bunch!

After we got back from Greensboro we packed up and headed out to see the baby goats.  The last time I was in Bambergland Mr. Berle took me to see some New Zealand goats.  All the female goats were pregnant.  I was excited to see all the babies this time.  They were so cute.  It is good thing I don't raise goats because I would name everyone and never actually sell them.

We road the back roads and randomly stopped and took pictures.  I love seeing random things on the side of the road or pretty creeks or trees and just saying "STOP! I need to get a picture of that."  We road and road and road.  After a few hours we returned home.  I have a ton of good pictures.

Mrs. Janet is making one of my favorite meals tonight - husband's delight.  I can't wait.  My song of the day is "Country Roads". 

Percy is absolutely adorable.  He is so little.  His paws are abnormally cold - maybe he and I have the same surper power.  The jury is still out as to what Buster thinks about him.  Since Buster's leg hurts I can't gauge his interest.

Night y'all!
