goats&moregoats

ok, 
crossing my fingers here in VT. I have a friend coming today for coffee and she is suppose to be bringing two dwarf Nigerian goats. One young wether named Nibbles and one young doe to keep him company until I get more goats. Her name is Hershey. I got to name them both when I worked for her.
Also working with this women on a female 4 moth old Maremma. Hoping this is suppose to be part of my future.
Then strangest thing happened to me. Another friend contacted me about rehoming her goats to me. She has two does, one buck, one Spring buckling and 3 wethers. We are in the midst of discussion. Swapping photos of my set up and her goats. Should know soon. So far she seems pleased with what I have. So I may well be on my way to being a goatie again!
Will keep you posted.

So five of the goats came through. One lady decided to keep two wethers for her son. The other women didn't show at all. So here is my new beginning. They are shut in the barn at night. Working on the buck pen, however, the owner was letting the buck & buckling run with the does. She is pretty sure he got them already. Buck pen is going up slow. All photos taken this morning after being let out of the barn. More hay being delivered tomorrow am. CDT & Copper bolus on it's way, They are due for them in Nov. Going to try to come up with a small run to use to get them in and out of the pen without having to fight off the rest. Cookie & Rambo had to test the fence and were quick to realize they didn't want to mess with it. The others seem to know to avoid it. Definitely satisfied with their build, colors and gentleness. Rambo needs work as he has not had very much people contact.
Storm is growing fast..lol. He was 6.8 lbs when I brought him home. Weighed him yesterday and he is 13.2 lbs. Improving greatly with the house training. Down to 2 accidents a day at most and sometimes none at all. Kennels at 9pm without any difficulty, just waltzes right in. He knows his name and responds to it every time. He also knows the word no and immediately stops what he is doing. Working on sit & stay. Does well on a leash except for going inside, then he fights the leash. Willow(the 4 yr old, small mixed breed) has finally accepted him and they play together several times a day. Photo at bottom of page.

Looks and sounds like ya have a really good start going there. The goats look really nice....and Storm is adorable, sounds like he is filling out nicely....of course the care and attention of the owner has something to do with it all....
