Being the only goat on the place, Domino has done very well. He acts like the King and treats all the other animals as his subjects. He was a rescue goat - he was the only goat on his previous place, too, but his subjects were cows, and took offense at his rulings and beat him up pretty bad. He has a limp now. He loves to snuggle and be with me. I don't know what he thinks he is. I love his personality, though. He tries to help me round up the sheep and treats it like a game every time. When I'm out fencing, he comes behind me as I'm bent down andleans his head on my back. And just holds it there. When I'm in a good mood, he's charming. When I'm in a bad mood - well, this is a family blog :o).
I'm getting a new goat. A Nanny with two little doe kids. I have no idea how Domino is going to react to her. He's wethered, but - ? Or will he be jealous (I have a hunch this will be more the case). I have been so excited about the new goat. I've built a pretty intense goat pen - 6ft boards, but the boards were free. All that's left to do is to hang the gate and build the stanchion. That's tomorrow's job. Then, maybe Tuesday I can pick up my new girl.

Stanchion, huh? Goat milk - or will it be goat's milk soap - here we come?
OH, I do hope they all get along Heather. :c)
Hello Wooly Tales. I found your link via a posting on freecycle -- you were giving way kittens. Although I don't need a kitten right now, I would like to connect with someone living near Lethbridge who has sheep/goats. ruth_651@msn.com
