Itty Bitty Hooves

All’s quiet on the Goaty front

It’s been a quiet day so far in the goat pastures. It didn’t start out like it was going to be. While I was getting ready to go out and feed Bob was getting his things together for work and I heard the door open and close. I looked out the window to see him trudging across the back yard toward the goat pasture in his uniform and proceed to release a stuck goat from the fence. Blondie–what a predictable goat. Of all the horned goats who could possibly get stuck in the fence, and do occassionally, she is the worst. You think she’d learn that putting her head through the fence means getting stuck, but no. She’s obviously not one of the brighter bulbs in the pasture. That’s probably the reason she hasn’t figured out we are not here to hurt her. Of the six boer/cross goats we got this spring who were practically wild and untouched, she is the most standoffish still. In fact one of them, Specs has become quite the little in your face nusience (but it’s an enjoyable nusience). Even Cherry who is the next most stubborn when it comes to human acceptance isn’t as bad as Blondie. Heck for that reason alone you’d think she’d stay out of the fence. Being stuck means being … ew… touched by people to get free. LOL Hopefully she’ll learn soon.
