MELS. NEW ADVENTURES

[B&B Happy goats]

I guess i could say Mel is blowing his coat....but the truth is its a blizzard of fur...we were out in the goat area and leon and i were brushing him....after we were done Mel sat and smiled at me, i asked him for a kiss, and he gave me one ..... i think we have hit our respecting each other...... level two.....
Now we will start on working together as a team.....

Blue" smelled it and then took a step and peed over it! "it" wasn't suppose to be in his field for his goats. Everyone started laughing.

That is just TOO funny!!! That’s the kind of nonchalance with which Violet steps between a “perceived” threat. It’s almost like she isn’t aware that she is doing anything of note. But, that’s exactly what she is doing...protecting her goats - and she knows EXACTLY what she’s doing!!!!

Our BYH MEL at play

Ahhhh

So anouther one of Mels assets. ..Mel the magnificent weather detection creature

IIRC Mel isn't real fond of rain storms.

Ahhhh


IIRC Mel isn't real fond of rain storms.

That would explain the barking when the rain and hail was hitting the metal porch roof where they had been sleeping

Hopefully Mel doesn't become fearful of storms, it is associated with neutering.
Also remember Joe always had Mel inside and only recently decided to kick Mel out and make him stay outside (after 4 years) so he really hasn't much experience.
Our dogs (his siblings and the rest of them) care less about storms BUT Blue will get pissed at thunder and come charging out of the barn. LOL
He does this when our neighbors fire up their race car too! The downside to the dogs having no fear is they can get hurt in the lightning storms and strong winds. That happened to Badger.

@Southern by choice ...Mel, Missy and Sophie stay on the back screened on porch at night ,the screen door is locked and the dog door is closed...the rain and hail on that metal roof would scare me ! It is deafening loud....they were all happy to come inside asap...the weather alert system even went off, after the dogs came in, DH Was following the storm on radar and when the winds were getting stonger he said he almost got me up to hide in the pantry...not enough room for two of us and three dogs ....im not going without my fur babies !

@Southern by choice Our beloved Parker was neutered when we got him and he adored storms, so he could go play in the rain. He was never afraid. Trip is afraid of thunder, he's 4 and we just had him fixed because of neighbors female mutts that are not spayed. I suppose I just had to have the abnormal thunder/neutered dogs.

LOL yeah, @Baymule it is a strange phenomenon ... it is males dogs and age of neutering makes no difference.
@B&B Happy goats Oh goodness, we have been trapped in the back behind the warehouse under the long shed roof when those super storms have come up. The noise is deafening. One day when I can build my dream barn I want to put the baffles in it, like they do for chickenhouses and horse stables. Insulates it better too. I imagine it may be pricey though. Those metal roof buildings are so loud!!!!!
With all the rain we have had I don't know how any of our goats ever get sleep.

Our horse barn has plywood decking with tar paper over it, then the metal roof. It isn't load at all. The carport is one of those buy it, they'll set it up kind, just metal over a metal frame and it is deafening. The sheep barn also has plywood decking, tar paper and radiant heat barrier under the metal roof. That radiant heat barrier is great!
