Maud the Marauder

Apparently Maud has been casing the dairy barn. 

The last three days she has been joining me in the dairy barn when i am milking the senior does.

Uninvited, i might add.  Guess how she is getting in there.  Little barn crasher.

Been hot, so have been working with doors open.

Was thinking she was being friendly.  Then decided she was just trying to learn protocol so that she knows what to do when she is a milky goat.  You know...familiarize herself with milk stand loading and unloading procedures, stand etiquette, how many and what sort of treats are involved, that sort of thing.  But yesterday she started inspecting the door latches.  Scrutinizing, one might say.  Then she jumped up on one of the closed feed barrels, and looked thoughtfully into the open one.  I could see the wheels turning.  I know what was on her mind.  If my back had been to her, she would have been in it.

Now i know she is not just being friendly. 

But i don't see the Big Plan yet.

Am not sure if she is planning a Big Breakout and Cookie Caper, or if it is going to be The Great Grain Heist of 2011.

Either way, i think i am in trouble.

Pray for me.
