They were a total surprise and of course I let them in for a while. One immediately recognized the Christmas tree as edible. It is now in their enclosure getting nibbled daily.dogladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08240144182898707334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8805337879579140202.post-39316308177334616392013-01-21T07:30:39.712-05:002013-01-21T07:30:39.712-05:00People used to laugh at me for doing this; now, I&...People used to laugh at me for doing this; now, I've huge competition!

I think you and the critters are doing a wonderful service by recycling these Christmas trees. I never realized goats ate the bark too. I place our tree next to a backyard bird feeder and hang suet. Have a lovely day, Julie.

It seems like Walmart is a magnet for the weird in life, so I don't think your activity would even make it onto the Walmart Scale of the Bizzare. Last year I came across a blog that was dedicated to all the strange people & things happening at Walmart. It was a little mean spirited, but I will admit to teeheeing a couple of times. I am surprised the goats eat pine needles. It sounds as bad as having to drink Lysol to me - UGH!<br />Your picture of the goats under the caption "Yum" looks like an old European painting. In fact, I had to look at it several times to see that it was actually a photo. The color & shadow added to the beautiful composition. Oh - your skill with the camera might have something to do with it too.
