MELS. NEW ADVENTURES

[B&B Happy goats]

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.

They are on the porch attached to our house, plans are to spray foam insulate the metal roof at some point...as the walls are pt wood framed,... screened ......with white pvc lattace over it. ( privacy and you can't tear open pvc)

Gabbie doesn't like thunderstorms....if the windows rattle with the thunder, she will "banshee" up and her mane standing straight up, and her deep heavy bark telling it to stop....she doesn't like the sound of downpours either....she will whimper some as long as there isn't any thunder....I think it is because, she knows she doesn't want to go out in it like that, so she is begging for it to stop......

Mel and Missy spent their first night with the outside dog door open, they did excellent, they are both are still here so Mel must feel at home. Missy couldn't jump the fence if she wanted too
I think theres a little romance going on between the two of them, Mel tries, Missy says ok...but their hasn't been any lift off, lol...when missy gets too playful, Mel just plops a arm down on her and she stops... he cleans her , she cleans him.... they are not laying /sleeping together....yet,... but i see it comming in the near future

MEL has been really into the dirt and loving it, he can't wait for @Bruce to get here for his first outside bath here in Florida .....I do believe it was Bruces idea to bathe him outside great bonding time ...BYH dog wash....will have DH take pictures ........

You really shouldn't bathe him. That dirt he rolls in adds a level of protection for LGD's.

He is filthy, brushing is beyond doing any good, wasn't planning on using anything other than a little dawn in some water and the hose to rinse the grime out of him....i understand about the dirt and protection....i am not planning on a fashion show cleaning just need to get some junk yard funk off him...it offends my nose ...
Besides , it will make his kisses and bear hugs that much more fun

@Southern by choice i have no idea what was outside last night, but we got up four times to see what Mel was barking at...all the goats were toward the house against the fence looking towards where Mel was barking (beyond our property) at, and the rabbits were looking that way also.....i took a head count of chickens ....and all was ok. The boy kept the enemy away for sure....he is such a great boy !

That's great! We had a bobcat in the woods last night. Dogs were going ballistic. Goats were scared - we have one field unprotected right now.
LOL I am use to the "earthy smell".
