Goat-O-Rama Kids of 2023

I wish I remembered my camera! I took Pongo out for his first walk by himself around the lake in Colorado City. I fitted him out in a collar and it was his first time on a leash. I must say, he did GREAT! He was fussy in the truck at first so I put the console up so he could sit next to me on the seat. He curled up, laid his head in my lap, and promptly went to sleep. Once we got to the lake he charged ahead of me on the leash, ready to go! Once we got away from the road I let him off the leash and he followed very well. Pongo was eager and curious about most things but it confused him when people would walk by us the other way. He would stop and ba-aa-ah a couple of times as if to say, "Wait there's another herd and it's going the wrong way!" But I'd call to him and he'd quickly come bounding after me. I loved that he was more curious than nervous about things like people and geese. The only thing that really frightened him was cars. I kept him leashed near the road and every time a car drove by Pongo would leap and try to bolt as if it were after him. But if that's all he's scared of his first time out, he'll be a pro in no time! Now I need to go vacuum my truck. Pongo tromped his muddy feet all over the front seat and he's shedding like a maniac!

That's awesome!
