It started off like any normal (yeah right, normal's a common word in my house. NOT) Sunday. I became suspicious when an air of excitement started filling the room, and my suspicions were confirmed when I was
When Mom finally let me out of my crate and leashed me up (I can't wait for that yard, it'll be so nice to not be leashed all the time. But I digress.) and led me to the backyard, I saw it. W.T.F? I have never seen such an odd looking, bowlegged, busty creature. I

"OMD!!!! MOM, what the bleep is THAT?!"
"She's a goat Nola. A Tennessee Fainting Goat, to be exact."
"Okay woman, this is the final straw. You've lost it."
"She's sweet Nola, see? (pets this "goat" thing) Her name is Plymouth, and she's our new pet"
"...."
A goat. REALLY??!! And get this: the goat is pregnant! O.M.D!
Kisses and Tail Wags,
The Flabbergasted Dachshund Nola
Note from Dachshund Mommy: It is the funniest thing ever to watch these goats faint. If our internet wasn't so slow I'd post a video, but feel free to YouTube "fainting goats" and you won't be disappointed.

Hey Nola!
ReplyDeleteWow, I don't quite know where to start! Wow! Um, shesh. I would suggest bashing it except that she has horns AND hormones! Not a good combination. Please get pix for us!
Grr and Woof,
Sarge, COP

ReplyDeleteShut the front door! Mamma wants a goat too but I don't think they allow that in our city... I hope not anyway...

ReplyDeleteWTF? I mean a goat is bad enuffs but one dat falls down likes a drunkard is a little messed up doncha thinks? But oh my dis is hilarious.
ReplyDeletePuddles
I have never heard of a Tennessee Fainting Goat before!
ReplyDeleteWhile Mum is oohing and ahhing over your pretty goat, we have to admit, we have never heard of a goat that faints before.
ReplyDeleteIs there a medical reason they do this like high blood pressure or something or do they just do it for a laugh?
Very strange - we must look it up on the internet.

A fainting goat! How strange. She won't be any fun to chase, if she just falls over....
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO daisy, Bella & Roxy
OH NOLA... you are gonna have a CONSTANT SOURCE of the most amazingly DELICIOUS POOPS in the world. It will be grrrrreat. AND you can even ROLL in the fresh pellets. OMD... YOU LUCKY DAWG.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Blogville Plymouth the Pregger.
Puddles cracks us up:) We can't believe you got a goat - Mom says we do enough grazing in the grass for her. She said she has heard of those fainting goats, but we are going to let her show them to us on youtube. Good luck, Nola - what will they do next?
ReplyDeleteWoos - Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
Plymouth is adorable!
ReplyDeleteHmmm.... I am not so sure you will be able to play with her a lot... imagine if she is being chased by you and suddenly she faints!!!!
Oh-oh....
Kisses and hugs

Holy Moly, Nola! You have a pregnant new goat! I'm going to see them "faint" on youtube!
ReplyDeleteWell as they say, "there's something you don't read every day"...and LOTS of strange stuff happens in the blog world, but you are the first family we know with a preggers fainting goat as a pet! Will you have to walk her on a leash until you get that new yard?
ReplyDeleteI'm speechless! I can't wait to hear all about Plymouth. This is going to be fun. Sorry, Nola.
ReplyDeleteNola, I don't know what to say. You poor little thing, I don't know what I would do if that happened here. What goes through the Pawrents minds sometimes?? Maybe they don't want to cut the grass anymore so they got a goat. Will you have to share toys or treats?? Will Plymouth sleep with you?? I hope you can make the best of it. I welcome Plymouth to bloggies. Good luck Nola
ReplyDeleteLoveys Sasha
Holy Goat!! LOL she looks very sweet though. I have seen the fainting goats on TV, cracks me up! I cant wait to read more about her this is going to be fun!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have not been keeping a close eye on your Mommy, now have you Nola... You turn your back for like 87 seconds and look what happens. Great balls of fire, a fainting goat???? Please tell me it was April Fool's Day. (She is kinda pretty tho...) Oh sorry!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Nola, you're still Numero Uno in my book!!
Hugs,
Lily Belle
Nola, Mrs. family has goats (for pets) & they used to have a fainting goat way back when Mrs. was in high school. Just wait until you see how cute those baby goats are! Be nice to Plymouth :)
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! What a cute goat!
ReplyDeleteOh, Nola, it cannot be all that bad!! Plymouth is only a goat!! (Just keep your things away from his grabby mouth!!) ;-}
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the "family", Plymouth!! ;)
Love, Raelyn.... And Rose, my BEAUTIFULLY UNIQUE "Mystery Dog"!!
