Hello All
Another Chapter in the Truck Chasing Goat File.
July 16 2016
It has been hot here in the foothills of the Blueridge Mountains.
90+ and no wind because of our camp location in a gully with lots of wood lot around us,
I normally wake up about dawn, (To many years of having to take care of critters and then go to work day job.
Not a bad habit so I have not though about trying to break it.
It is the nice quite part of the day for me to go feed and talk to the critters,
Anyhow with the heat on now here Just after dawn I go to the goat shed with feed turn the boy's out and then go to the outside feed pans and dump feed in them, Creating a Riot. like feeding Sharks.
Then come back to camp handle e-mail,etc. Been putting the boy's back in shed by the time it gets hot.
They have shade and a good fan to cool with.
=============================
Moving on:
Today Susan had to leave before I put the boys up. (Because of heat)
Well, they had finished their feed and went into the brush to browse, not in sight.
Ok we figured. I went back inside to work with the computer, She could "Sneek" out.
Well, the best plans of people versus goat often go astray.
Well about 5 minutes later I got a phone call from her, Goats are on main drive all 4 galloping behind the truck.
Ok, Stop, turn around, come back to camp with them, they chased the truck back to camp at a gallop.
They were panting hard they had a good mile or better run out and back to camp.
Needless to say they were happy to get into there shed and get put up.
Happy Trails
