So last night...

I never understood why anyone would want to keep
goats. A guy down the road has a few and they are not content with the grass in their pen. Its like they are obsessed to have the grass on the other side of the fence. They will stick their head thru the wire
fence and their horns will trap them to the spot. They sit there all day till he gets home from work and frees them. Then they do it again over and over. The goat nor the goat owner learning from the incident.
I guess my point is goats seem to be quite stupid, if he can manage he will be back like he forgot what it felt like to be bit by your dog. Not your fault ink.
Wouldn't be to surprised to here about a dead goat sometime in the future. And some very happy proud dogs.

Funny you mentioned "grass in the pen". These folks are unemployed. I think the wife may be disabled...but i have never asked as this is not the sort of thing that we chat about. I do know I have never seen them spreading hay (alfalfa?). Never observed them out with grain buckets. What i have seen is them throwing water, for hours a day, in an attempt to get the weeds to grow. They used to have Ponderosa Pines scattered around. The goats stripped them. The goats also has access to what I think was a Maple tree of sorts...that is now gone as well. A woman at the baby shower has goats. I texted Ernie last night, she mentioned what was going on to everybody. Susan asked if we had mowed the area where the goat came over the fence. Couldn't get a mower back there if I wanted ro. Susan told Ernie chances are the goat noticed the tall grass and being that they are probably borderline malnourished decided it was chow time. She also said that chance are good that the goats will be back. My back is hurting like it never has. I won't be doing that anytime soon....next time I will be going out with a bunch of leashes....and a .45...Susan did say she has some killer, no pun intended, goat recipes.
This is not the first time for type of thing. Last time the goat was stuck between the fences. Our dogs have killed several ducks from over there...as well as a very young goose.
While back one of the kids made mention that they "have baby ducks on their side of the fence". I will be the first to admit that often times the filter between my brain and mouth is turned off...I replied to the kid that as long as the baby ducks stayed over there it won't be a problem...
