That was her only flaw, she was a mega escape artist. But if she hadn't been i never would have ended up with her, so it was a mixed blessing.WarPonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10971219221045217191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875702678423574176.post-48526183652086167192010-03-01T08:44:26.427-05:002010-03-01T08:44:26.427-05:00Sounds like that poor little goat knew a soft touc...Sounds like that poor little goat knew a soft touch when he saw one!! It is always a good thing to have people around you who know what to and most people are more than happy to help newbies that try to learn. You will make mistakes but try to never do the same thing twice!! I had a pygmy goat---will never have another. Ever. I think the biggest thing to keep in mind is keeping the boogers in where they belong. Goats can climb over, under, and through anything that you think would keep in a herd of buffalo. Well, it might them...but not goats!! Goatproofing is an art!!phaedra96https://www.blogger.com/profile/13073887491311158448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875702678423574176.post-4375861614507792112010-02-27T12:53:43.116-05:002010-02-27T12:53:43.116-05:00I KNOW! It happened with cats, it happened with do...I KNOW! It happened with cats, it happened with dogs, it happened with rabbits and you KNOW it will happen with goats. <br /><br />And i can't get that poor little Mini Mancha out of my head! He'd been head butting her buck and his head was a little beat up, and he just looks like a complete conformational train wreck. And without ears it looks like he was the victim of some horrible cold weather tragedy even though he is SUPPOSED to not have ears. There is nothing at all attractive or appealing about him but i can't stop thinking about the way he just focused right on me and watched my every move. he didn't follow me or try to mug me for attention but he just kept watching me... <br /><br />i am NOT going to try and buy a pitiful looking little rescue goat who is homely and beat up and completely useless for what I want and need. *repeats that to herself over and over* <br /><br />he is in a perfectly fine "old fashioned" country home. He may not live in the Governor's Mansion but he is safe where he is, and doesn't NEED me... but i just keep seeing those eyes and non-existent ears focused right on me.
