Aww, I'm sorry you've had another loss in your kidding season.  Pongo looks absolutely huge against Balto!  Nothing warm my heart like a goat who is nice to other herd mates. :heart:

Wow, 35 lbs is big!  Man, a kid with manners.  That would be a new one for me! lol.  It sounds like he's shaping up to be a real wonderful companion. :heart:

Mr. Moon has had a few adventures since I last updated.  I've got to get one of my walking companions to take some pictures of him out and about, but for now all I have is some pics from him at home:...

I'll be sure to keep the treats auditorily concealed before they are dispensed.  Thanks for the advice!  :)

It's good to know that you let people give your goats-in-training treats. I wasn't sure that would be okay since I didn't want him learning to maul people for treats. lol.

I'm so sorry to hear that Sputnik is gone!  He was such a big, beautiful boy! Even without having ever met him, I can tell he was a legend. :heart:   How is Finn doing these days?
