In the video you can see the first time it happened and I brought Smokey back into the pen. I think he quite liked getting out and exploring on his own. At least he enjoyed it until the second time, when one of the horsies came up to him and started pushing and chasing him. Then it suddenly wasn’t as funny. He wailed and ran away. And then he went through another fence and got out on the grounds. So I had to go all the way around. And then he went back through the fence into the horse field. But then there were the horsies again and that stopped him, so I could go over the fence and scoop him up and bring him back to safety. And by then I think he had done all the exploring he wanted to do for the day.<\/p>\n
Poor Snow White, her voice is so hoarse, she can’t really cry out loudly enough when her kids go astray. It’s easier for Magnethe, if she wants her kids’ attention then we’ll all know about it. Snow White could use a megaphone or something. But her babies are getting more confident all the time, so that’s good. They’re still a bit shy. But I’m working on it. I sat with Bandit in my arms for a long, long time yesterday. He settled in nicely. Although he seemed to be a little freaked out when I started scratching his back. I don’t think he’s been really scratched like that before. So he was a bit jittery at first. But once he got used to it he seemed to like it okay. Strange new people who want to pick you up and scratch you! What a world.<\/p>\n
They are all growing. Magnethe’s boys are big enough now that they can jump up on the bench on their own. I’m hoping they will soon figure out how to jump up on my back, because I do enjoy that sort of thing.<\/p>\n
Snow White seems to be growing a little too. At least growing a little more of a temper. Now that she has her own kids out and about she is a little less tolerant of Magnethe’s boys. Most of the time she ignores them, but sometimes she will now go and push them away if they get too close. I guess her maternal instincts are kicking in. And that’s not bad, I think that’s how it’s been with all the goats I have known. They’re not too happy about sharing space with other goats’ babies.<\/p>\n
When I was sitting down with Bandit Sigrid came into the pen with a guy I didn’t know. It was the vet. He had come to take a look at Magnethe’s blackheaded boy. I hadn’t even noticed anything was wrong, but when I listened to them talking I could see that the little guy was indeed standing sort of scrunched up. Sigrid said that since about Friday he had started getting a little quieter and less active than the other boys. I haven’t really noticed that to be honest, but it’s hard of course when you have limited eyesight and five little boys running around. The vet speculated that it was a tummy problem. Something about the time when they go from just drinking milk to eating solids. And their extra stomachs kick in and all that stuff that I don’t know how to explain in English. But we’ll give the little fella some medicine and hopefully that will help him and he’ll be okay. Fingers crossed for no more problems.<\/p>\n
I’m having a lot of fun with them all, that’s for sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
