Trends are a funny thing sometimes. They come and go, sometimes they stick around, and other times they are a little off the wall. I'm not sure what category this falls under, but I did a trendy thing. I did THE trendy thing. I did GOAT YOGA. 

I'm gonna let that sink in.......

Yoga. WITH GOATS. 

I have photo proof!

It was every bit as fantastic as you'd imagine. It was a little less....soothing and relaxing than regular yoga, but the goats 100% made up for it. No, they made it better. In some of the poses, I'd feel an ear brush my leg, or a little hoof land on my mat, or the soft, quiet, soothing munching sound. Just in case all of this wasn't enough, they were fainting goats. Which made it even better yet. 

At the end of the yoga, we had some time to cuddle and play with the goats. Some were getting hungry and tried to weasel their way through the fence, and a small one succeeded. The larger one wasn't so successful. She got stuck half way through, began to "faint" a little bit, and got even more stuck in the fence. I hope she didn't know we were laughing at her. 

The sweet goat took a liking to me, and I was told she liked to rub her face on your cheek. She soon proved them right, and I was treated to many goat face rubs, while I scratched her back and otherwise loved up on her.

I had every intention of posting this last tuesday, because the goat yoga was the 23rd, but this week ended up really busy. I'm trying to get ready for a model show on October 13th, and I have SO much to do! It's overwhelming! I'm finally making nice show stands for my table, so I cut the flexible tubing this week, and now I'm trying to make soft fabric sleeves to go over the tubing, but I'm having trouble with our sewing machine. I might end up hand sewing these. 24 of them! I still have to name and tag all the horses going, decide who is doing performance, tack up those doing performance, make up the documentation (this is the absolute WORST part for me, and I'm terrible at it!), get all the props I'm using together and make anything I still need, the list goes on....Here's to hoping for a productive week!

I almost forgot! My dick blick order came in since my last post too. Considering recent hobby trends, I'll let you all figure out what these are for ;)
