Sylvie, en repose

Is a bleached-out abandoned Little Tykes Doo-dad garbage?

Absolument Non!

Maintenant, c’est pour les chèvres.

Waa-laa!

(The French makes it classy, non?)

And remember this?

After the goats cleaned it, it’s this:

Trash? NO!

It’s a free security system!

Goats were jumping the fence from that little roof–and heading off to taste the neighbors’ lawn.

And TL informed me 7 years ago that this is a privet hedge (read: invasive trash shrub.)

But, now I know that it’s the goats very favorite leaves ever.  I almost cut it down a few weeks before I got them. How silly!

Do they slide down the slide? That is just the cutest thing ever!

I am also wondering if they slide down the slide, either way she looks so relaxed on her perch there! Très paisible!

If the goat slides down, will you yell “weeeeee” for her ?

Actually, it’s spelled “voilà” :)

Been following – and enjoying! – your blog for a while now. Keep it up.

Oh I just LOVE the re-using of the faded out Little Tykes play set. That is GREAT !! And I also wish your lovely goats would come clean up my fence line in my back yard.. they could munch and munch and munch!!

That was cute. Do you ever rent out your goats. I have a nice fenced yard with an over grown fence that could use a good cleaning. I’m sure that the neighbour wouldn’t mind on for a week or two just to get that darn fenced cleaned

That’s too funny! My mother, too, has repurposed our youngest sib’s little tykes cottage and an old stand alone fort for her dwarf goat. The fort, complete with ladder, about 7′ high with a swimming pool slide attached where our “fireman’s pole” used to be. Yes, the goat does run down the slide and he loves bleating at my mom from his fort. He only frequents his cottage when he gets cold, which is not that often in Louisiana.
