Caramel Apples and Goats

With fall rolling in I took my first annual trip of the season to Highland Orchards.

I love sniffing the goats at the orchard, but truth be told, I’m quite happy that there is a fence between us at all times. Safety first!

But the real treat this time was that mom’s first cousin once removed (whatever that means) tagged along with us.

Kids are good for one thing in a dog’s world…..and that’s dropping food!

You can bet I warned Mr. Goat that any food dropped was mine, and mine alone. Don’t worry though, I was very friendly and wagged my tail when I told him. I’m pretty sure he got the message.

 

What kind of adventures will you be going on this fall?Ammo the Dachshund

Apple of my Eye

Every year when Autumn rolls around I take the obligatory trip to Highland Orchards, home of the cider donut, pumpkin picking, fresh apples, canned preserves and goats!

Like most of the children there I humored my parents with having my photo taken in the fall cutouts.

But we all know there is really only one reason to take a trip to Highland Orchards (besides a bite of cider doughnut)…

…the goats!! Now last year the goats gave me the stink eye, so I was careful to be a bit weary the second time around.

I have to admit those fellows are starting to grow on me, even with their sharp pointy horns.

Although I was still somewhat relieved that there was a fence between me and them, after all I was sorely outnumbered.

I plan to visit the Highland Orchard goats again, if only to get on their good side, because Mom says we may be getting goats on the farm in the near future. Yikes! Ammo the Dachshund

Goat Monster

On a recent trip to Highland Orchards I met some dogs goats monsters.

Mom reminded me that I have met goats before when I went to the corn maze last year.

True, maybe I had seen goats before, but these were not the SAME goats.

I know, because I sniffed them.

I mean they smelled friendly enough I guess.

But friendly or not, I quickly realized there was like a bazillion of them….and only one of me. Yikes!

I may have spent the rest of the day looking over my shoulder – you never know when a group of goats monsters might sneak up behind you!
