Today was a pretty stressful day. I got up this morning and set out to finish putting chicken wire up around the fence so that the goat can't get out. I got all the fencing done but then realized I had 4 gates that I have to secure. So needless to say my husband is going to help me finish it up tomorrow. The little goat was so stressed out today. She does NOT like being in the cage but I think mainly it's when she is by herself. If I come in she calms down as soon as I get her out. She was bottle fed because she was one of triplets so she is very tame. Up until I brought her home she was still nursing on her Mom. Is it normal to pull them away from their Mom so suddenly. I think it is making her stress even more. I put my dogs harness on her and took her for a few walks and I must say that she walks on a leash better then my two dogs lol. No picture yet of that Rudy, my dog is mad at me once again because there is new competition for him (he did the same thing when I got Melody). And even Melody acted mad at me this morning lol. I just put the goat in with Melody at feeding time and they seem to be doing well together. Melody got mad when the goat stood in her feed dish but didn't get after her so I think if she didn't kill her at feeding time, we are probably good. I am hoping I can turn them out together tomorrow if we can get all the gates secured. Hopefully Melody still has a tail in the morning
Here are some pics at feeding time this evening. They arent very good. I had to put chicken wire on the windows to keep the goat in.
