Let's look at the facts:
1. When we first brought them home it took 1 1/2 hours to get them on the trailer before we could leave their old home. Definitely don't want to do that again.
2. They boys aren't lead trained at all. They don't even like to get brushed for God's sakes, you think they would follow us on a lead?
3. They tend to be a little shy around folks until you get to know them. Heck, even some days (like yesterday afternoon) they treat me like a stranger. I suspect that will get better with time.
Now, as some of you might know if you follow our Facebook feeds, we are getting some new additions to our little blossoming farm in early June. Not in time for this year's Do Dah Day, but maybe next year. Bonnie and Clyde (Yes they already have names) are two infant Pygmy Goats that we are getting. Now, they might be the right size to take to Do Dah Day, and we have a year to get them lead trained.
Lead training is one thing, but potty training? That's totally out of the question, so we have decided that if we do take them to Do Dah Day, we will need help, so we are trying to enlist Lori's daughter and her best friend to act as the 'Bonnie and Clyde Environmental Impact Team' We'll even get them shirts to wear as they walk behind us and pick up any 'accidents'
Meanwhile, Pancho and Lefty will stay at home and in their pasture where they can do their own thing, on their own time... And that sometimes involves giving us a 'Razzberry' as you can see from Lefty's picture below. If you are in Birmingham on Saturday May 18th, head out to Southside and partake in all the fun that is Do Dah Day... It's a great day for animals in Birmingham and they have great music too.
Here is a link to their website...
