a billy

Jen has been asking for one, searching the classified ads for one, wanting one........so today James went to pick up a year old pygmy billy goat for a Christmas gift. He's a sweetie, really cute.....

However, we had plans today to meet with the in-laws this afternoon for Christmas and anniversary so we set him up in a pen as soon as we got him here. He was not happy with that situation at all and I was concerned about leaving him but we had plans so had to go. It appears he did manage to escape shortly after we left and found his way down the street to some other goats. There he tore a hole thru the fence, fought with the billy that resides there, chased the dog, etc, etc. When we finally got back home 7 hours later to find him missing we searched around here a bit, but I figured it was best to check with the folks down the street whether they had seen him and got a resounding YES!!!

So, that is the billy goat saga. He is staying there at least until tomorrow when we'll try to find a better restraint system for him.
