The Great Escape

If you didn't know, we also have a new-ish Great Pyrennees puppy. He is about 4 months old. He may not look alot like a puppy anymore, but he is...chews on everything he can. But, he is a really good protector. He makes sure that all the goats go into the barn if there is rain or any kind of danger...even if they do not want to!

Samson Today

Well, Samson has not been such a good boy lately. He has been a little too aggressive with the goat mamas, so he got put in the "doggie corner"--he was put up in a barn stall for a day. Needless to say, he did not like it and has pouted ever since. Every time I go to the barn, he looks at me with the most pitiful look. But he has been loose in the pasture with the other goats since Friday.

So, today the smallest of all the new baby goats decided that she was going to make a run for it and find her "real" mommy. Apparently, I am not up to par as far as goat mommies go :) I am not really sure how she got out, but it looks like she was able to squeeze by a place in the back of the kid stall into the adjoining stall which is open. Well, when we found her, she was in the clutches of Samson! I am not sure if he was protecting her (he had both paws covering her) or if he thought we had bought him a new chew toy. But he did not hurt her, other than the fact that she was covered in sticky dog slobber.

Here are some more pictures of the new little babies...
