Our Holiday in Raglan

Every holiday, we go to Raglan. It's a little beach town about two hours from where we live. Mum's Mum, Dad and Grandma live there. My Nana works at the club. (Click 'read more' to see all the pictures.) Grandad works for the Police Force. Grandad gardens, cooks and does amazing things with wood. He built our rubbish bin. And a lot of other things. Grandma crochets. She makes awesome blankets. Every kid in the whole family probably has one. All the cousins. We call them Grandma blankets. Grandma normally makes them when we are babies. Mine, Hayden's and Emma's all have our initials stitched into them. Yesterday, we got home from six days at Raglan. We always have soooo much fun there. Nana and Grandad's house is three stories high. Grandad built it. It's really cool. We always take both the dogs and this time we had to take Emma's goat. My goat went up the road to some friends. Emma used to have a white goat like me, but sadly he passed away. Then she got another one, who is toffee coloured. He is about three weeks old and really small. We can pick him up easily. In the car, he sits on my knee. Please comment!

Rusty

My goat Rusty went to Pet Day with me on Monday 3rd October. He earned two thirds, one second and one reserve champion. On Friday we will be attending Group Day at the Island Reserve. Before Prizegiving, we raced home to get Emma's shivering goat warm - he's only two weeks old - as it was raining really hard. We all got soaked to the bone. At home, I changed into warm DRY clothes and we zoomed back to school, after charlie had stopped shivering and was settled on a heat pad. My goat - seven weeks old - was fine. he hated the rain, but we weren't scared about him getting sick or anything. Emma got the trophy for best relationship with her goat. I could see it coming. Whenever she wasn't in the ring, she was holding her goat to her chest, covering him with towels and clothes, so he stayed warm. Keep checking out my blog and I'll keep you posted on all the latest!!

Rusty The Goat!!

About three weeks ago, we got two boy goat. My sister, Emma and I will be taking them to Pet Day in October. My goat is called Rusty and Emma's is P.J.. They're both white and their backs are about up to our knees. Rusty is a real hair eater!! Whenever he gets the chance, gobble, gobble. gobble!! He has also started to eat grass, camelia, flax leaves and anything else he can get his mouth on. The other day, I tried to lead him and was very successful. He followed on behind me, climbed onto the barbeque table and when I took his lead off and ran, he spriiiiinted after me. I was spurred on with his progress and hope he carries on like it. P.J. wasn't as good but Mum said they'd have on-off days. Today I plan on spending all afternoon with them. Can't wait to get home!! Please come back and check out my other posts. See ya for now.
