I'm going to have to get him some toys. Maybe a big soccer ball or something to train his little bulldozer mind.
Any suggestions?

Houdini doesn't need toys.. He need girlfriends. Lots of pretty girlfriends to make lots of wonderful Houdini babies. I can't wait for Houdini babies! :weee

NO FAIR!!!!!! It's just not right!! :rant

You have THREE, count them, THREE spotted babies!

lol, they are cute.

My goats like to play with a basketball. You could also wrap a corner in some astroturf for him. Socrates also like to play with a squeaky chicken. It's one of those large "nekkid" (plucked) chickens. He will stomp it to make it squeak and then have a case of the bouncy zoomies. Sometimes, though, he will just horn the poor chicken.

I have a sneaking feeling, that if I gave him a horse ball, he would have a ball with it, no matter how big it is. We had another goat, Pan, who loved our big ball at the place I lived in at Sammamish, Washington. I have videos of him playing Pan Ball across the field. The ball was bigger than he was.

Yes, but I don't get to keep the spotted babies. I have to sell them. AND SOON!

That would be a very long drive (2600 miles) to get one very big ball. Maybe I should just find a different ball for him to play with. Right now he keeps breaking his doghouse. He's had it apart three times. Then he stands on the parts and hollers at me to come and fix it for him.

Lisa, the lady that I work for here, keeps asking me why I have Houdini. I can't quite explain his presence in my herd other than to say he is very entertaining. She doesn't understand why anyone would keep a goat that runs away when you want him to come to you; has no clear purpose for "breeding" and thus no "financial value"; can't be milked; doesn't do any work around the farm; and keeps requiring that I fix his house.

I've got to train him to do some sort of work around here. Maybe I can convince him to carry my feed buckets or pull a cart for me or something. He's the perfect size and build to pull a little tool cart around. Sigh...If I could only get him to come to me on command.

The truth is you have him because you love him. That is all the explanation you need.
