Mr. Moon Explores the World

[Nanno]

Moon is so CUTE! What a little chunklet! I'm sure he'll get used to people very quickly once he's had more exposure. He'll also get more comfortable in the car once he realizes it's his ticket to adventure. :-)

I need to get some photos of Pongo soon.

I bet Pongo's looking bigger too these days! I'll be on the lookout for your pictures.

I finally was able to get Mr. Moon out for an Adventure today.   For a while there it was just too hot and he was being housed with some intact bucks who were making him very smelly, so it would not have been fun to have him in the car.  We went for a walk on the Western Carolina University campus and then walked over to the post office to see our postal worker who loves goats, lastly we hit up one of our farm stores.   

He's really doing well when he's out and about.  It's clear he loves the adventure.  He gets that jaunty walk.    Still not too happy while in the car, but he's learned to jump in when I ask him to which is awesome.  He is just so wonderfully behaved.  Goats are so much more fun to walk than dogs.     We're hoping to get him on some real hikes here soon.

What a lovely boy! I'm glad he's doing so well for you. Keep up the good work! I'm sure he'll warm up to the car eventually. My Pongo is afraid of cars too. I didn't think he would be since he's been riding in them since he was a young tyke, but he's scared of moving traffic and he looks at the truck with deep suspicion as if he's sure it's going to start rolling and drive over him at any second.

Oh yes, Moon is scared of traffic too.  Weirdly he tries to walk on the outside of sidewalks where we're near roads.  I keep him on a very short leash when near moving cars and he always tries to get on the outside of me instead of being farther away from the vehicles.  It's sort of odd.  Although I will say that the sidewalks we were on were line with some dense shrubbery so maybe he was scared of walking right next to the hedges?  I'm not sure.

I love seeing Mr. Moon!
