Silly Goats...

So I have the silliest goats.   They all have their own hay rack in their own pen.  However,  Speck steals hay from Lexie's hay rack and Lexie steals hay from Bella's hay rack. Poor Bella is still too short to steal from anyone's though.  Speck has also been known to steal Lexie's dry feed....someone in my family has been calling him "DEVILISH". While we were gone someone got their hand scrapped etc trying to shut a gate that he wanted to butt!!!  That someone is known to a couple of you...can you figure it out?? Here is sweet Speck.

Darcy dog has hip/knee pain...let me know your ideas for pain relief.

Darcy has mild hip dysplagia. She also has apparently hurt her knee joint on the same side as the worse hip. Vet has recommended several possible things to decrease the pain. I have listed them as answer choices on my latest poll to the left... Any helpful ideas are appreciated...

A warm welcome at midnight...

Been gone a week and returned home at midnight  to lots of sniffing and jumping and barking and baaing.!! Did they miss us or were they just HUNGRY? We think they missed us because we missed then so much! Good to be back at the "zoo'.   oh and a cat in the dresser drawer.   :-)))

BELLA GOAT WENT BELLY DEEP IN POND MUD

SO...THIS  MORNING ME AND THE WILD GANG WENT WALKING TO THE POND. THE DOGS WERE ALL WALKING AROUND THE EDGE IN THE MUD AND SO BELLA DECIDED TO FOLLOW. WELL, SHE ENDED UP WITH ALL 4 LEGS SUNK AND HUNG IN THE MUD AND JUST SITTING THERE ON HER BELLY. OH HOW I WISH I HAD MY CAMERA WITH ME THEN.  SINCE HER HEAD WAS RIGHT AT THE WATER LINE...AND I WAS MIRING UP IN THE MUD TOO..I JUST GRABBED WHAT I COULD WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE HER BACK FUR ...TO PULL HER OUT. NOT SURE SHE APPRECIATED THAT !!! HERE IS AN AFTER PIC.

CHASING GOATS BEFORE WORK

Well, it seems Speck has learned that if he butts the metal gate really hard he can open it.  I had just put out fresh water for the goats and was heading in to get ready for work, when i heard a "baa". To my surprise and  aggravation, the goats were out. I tried a new strategy..a can of dog food to coax them in the barn...WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!.....and yes I gave them each a little dog food for a reward!
