My goat!!!!

19 years ago

Hey ya'll!

How are you? Reese is the sweetest little thing; I love him to death :) He's wonderful! But, every time the door opens he tries to run inside the house. He never walks around in the yard he just stays by the front or back door trying to get inside at all times!

I figure most of you all keep your goats in a pen, because I think most of you all have more than one goat, right? But, I have only Reese, so we're like his family and he wants to be with us all the time! Do you have any trouble with your goat(s) trying to get inside all the time? And if you do have trouble with your goats how do you train them to not try to get in every time the door comes open? Or is there no way to train them!?!!?? Reese seems to be stubborn at times. He usually comes when I call him, and he loves to go to my grandparent's house and go out in the shop and hang out with my grandpa. He'll just kinda walk around and get into stuff :LOL But when it's time to come home he can so stubborn--he won't come I'll have to pick him up and he weighs like close to 50 pounds of not more!!!

Heres a picture of him. I'm just in love with him :) He's adorable! I think he's got red eyes in this pic! LOL, but they're really not red they're blackish-brown.

He's a cutie-pie, Genny! It looks like he is smiling for the camera.

I'm just surprised you don't make him little slippers to wear so he can go inside without scratching up the floors! Don't forget a diaper too! (I'm kidding you... pun intended!)

Genny, I have absolutely no advice for you but I wanted to say how much I enjoy hearing about all of Reese's adventures. He sure is a sweet pea:)

Maggie LOL, if I could get some shoes to fit him I probably would :)

Thanks Beth, I'm glad you enjoy hearing about him.

luvorganic, thanks for the advice, yes, Reese can be a stubborn little guy at times. Your goat does favor him a lot!

Hi Genny,
well you may remember my story of the first goat. Dropped off and chained to a tree. So anyway about 7/8 months later I did get another goat. Both were kept in a 10 X 10 pen. Let out to free range when ever I was home. This really helped with my marriage too btw. Hubby hated goats in the house, or on our new double pained windows trying to figure out which room we were in. Its all in the training, get Reese another little goat, and put him in a dog run. Let them out for training, treats, fun and free range brouse. Be strict at first, they love a good solid schedule and will soon/fast get used to it and stick by it. Lisa
