We have now added a second, sweet little Nigerian Dwarf goat to our "herd." His name is Reese and he and Snickers are getting along well. Reese loves to cuddle and whenever anyone of us is in the yard he sticks really close to us. He cries when he realizes he's lost track of his person and comes running when you call him. Such a sweetie!
Daniel and I finished the pen in the barn so that Snickers and Reese have more space inside. Daniel and the boys started it, then it rained for two solid days so we had to wait until the rain stopped before we could finish it. There is now a 6 foot high pen with a big, wide gate into a walkway that leads to the door to the outside. We have a small spool and the dog house in the pen to give them something to do when they can't be outside.
The outside fence isn't up yet since we are still working out how to put in a gate. The yard right outside the barn door slopes down dramatically so fencing and putting in a gate is going to be challenging. Our hope is that we can get the fencing finished so the goats can go from the yard to the pen at will.
