So, after I lifted weights on Saturday, while I was stumbling around with noodles for legs (the pain didn’t set in until Saturday evening), we decided to go to a roadside petting zoo about 45 minutes away from here. Fred’s going to do a whole entry about the petting zoo, complete with zillions of pictures, but let me tell you what I think was the best part of the zoo. The best part of the zoo, my friends, were the baby pygmy goats. My god in heaven, they were the most adorable things I’ve ever seen. Seriously, I was thisclose to snatching one up and tossing it in the Jeep. I said to Fred “Someday, if we have a house on enough land, promise me we’ll get some pygmy goats!” He wouldn’t, though, damn him. This little guy had just been born at 8:00 Saturday morning and was only hours old. More cuties, only a few hours old. These guys were a little older, and starting to get their horns. Their fur was so soft, and though they’d run from us when we entered the corral, once we started petting them, they seemed to think “Hey, that’s kind of nice…” and would stop running away. Little bunnies, who liked to be petted on their little heads. Seriously, the man brings me to a petting zoo full of cute animals, and then is surprised when I want to bring some of them home with me. Personally, I’d love to see the looks on the faces of the cats if we brought a baby pygmy goat home with us. I bet they’d be seriously freaked out.

You know, it’s funny. I installed Movable Type because I was tired of messing around with remembering to link each entry to the entry before and after, and changing the links on the front page every day, and so forth. But I’m doing more html by hand than I ever did while using Dreamweaver. It’s a fair trade-off, I suppose, to be able to change the look of the entire site so easily, and also not to have to worry about the “before” and “after” links working. So, here’s the question for y’all. When I link to something, do you want the link to open in a new window – like such – or the same window – like such? It makes no difference to me, just requires an additional bit of html to each link, so it’s really up to you. Poll time!
Links – new page or no?
Do you want links to open in a new page or not?
I prefer links to open in a new page
I prefer links to open in the same page
Frankly my dear, I don’t give a shit.

  1. Actually, I’ve been meaning to ask you to do it like Fred does : ) When I’m on his site and click on a link, I just minimize it while it loads and then go back to it after I’m done reading the journal entry.
    the look on Miz Poo’s face is great. did someone slip a thermometer where it didn’t belong?

  2. Oh, I LOVE pygmy goats! We’re going to have them when we have land, so if you’re ever in Minnesota (you know, in twenty or thirty years,) you can come play with them all you want. 😉

  3. From all my web-browsing, I’ve gotten into the habit of right-clicking on interesting links and selecting open in new window/tab (IE/Netscape) myself, since not all webmasters are as wonderful and considerate to their visitors as you!
    I thought the baby pygmy goats were adorable! …. my bf glanced at the pic, and said they look like strange doggy/horsey mutants…

  5. I laughed hysterically when you recounted Fred telling you to get one of those carts and made the motorized whining noise. Sounds like something my hubby would say!
    And Mizz Poo’s look is PRICELESS, I say, just f-n’ priceless!

  6. Goats RULE!
    Re: your entry Friday…Did I *really* see THREE calenders around your desk? Damn, the only calender in my entire house is the freebie I got from GNC. 🙂
    And that look on Miz Poo’s face! Jeeze, she and Samira could be sisters I swear. Only Samira has more of a cockeyed stare going. She looks retarded, but if she was dropped on her head, it was before I got her!

  7. I was scrolling really slow adn my first thought was *what* did they do to Fancypants NOW? Oh, it’s a pygmy goat….. 😉

  8. Two words: Naproxsyn, Advil. I take a dose of both (at the same time) the evening after and the day after, otherwise, I wouldn’t be unable to do things like wipe, write, drive, breathe. Drugs. Do a body good.

  10. Christ, half your damn family works for doctors…….ben gay or something close to that. I’d send ya some of the good stuff we have at the office, but by the time it got there ya would be better.
    Are ya starving Ms Poo? She is looking mighty skinny.

  11. With my over-forty eyesight,I read the opening portion of Martha’s comment above as, “I laughed hysterically when you MOUNTED Fred…”
    HUH??!! I must have read right over THAT section of Robyn’s post!
    Martha’s comment ACTUALLY said,”I laughed hysterically when you recounted to Fred…”
    My eyesight makes the world just a bit more interesting. My dirty mind doesn’t come into play one bit I am sure. ;o)

  13. Hey Robyn,
    Jeff has promised me a goat someday when we have land. He probably just knows that we may never *have* land, so that’s why he’s proimised. But now, I’ve never seen a pygmy goat. And I seriously want one. 🙂

  14. MizPoo’s thoughts… I’m gonna be replaced by a pygmy goat? What the *&%$?????
    I LUV that pic… it is absolutely hysterical!

  15. Aren’t pygmy goats the cutest? My aunt had them for years, until she became obsessed with toy poodles. (She likes miniature animals of all kinds, apparently.)
