Veterinary Disclaimer...and NOT the new time-out place

I realized last night I had forgotten to add a disclaimer to yesterday's "pizzle post" - which is this - please know that I make no claim to have actual caprine veterinary knowledge! (Caprine, by the way, is to goat what feline and canine are to, well, normal people's pets.)

Anything you read here, DO NOT TRY AT HOME!! (Really, I don't want to be responsible for any goat being maimed or disfigured.)

Just one brief story for today: After lunch I checked on the goats, filled their water, etc. before coming back inside. About fifteen minutes later a friend stopped over for a visit. Seeing the goats before she came to the door, she asked me, "Are you punishing Elliot for some reason?" Nooo...but why do you ask? "Then why is he locked in the fence with the air conditioner?"


Oh good heavens, Ellie! In the goats' yard we have a small area fenced off to keep them away from our air conditioning unit, telephone wire and a large poisonous rhododendron bush. Somehow Elliot had wedged himself through a miniscule opening between the wire fencing and the house, then could not get back out. Crazy goat! Just add "Reinforce AC fence" to the long list of goat-related projects on Mike's to-do list!
