We haven’t seen the goats since May because Buddy kept bullying them with harmful intentions.
Yesterday, Bob heard from the lady who works in the store that David, the owner had sold them to another person who would treat them well.
I took one final picture of the animal sign to see if the goats were still included–they were.

Some candids of our caprine friends…




Let’s hope the goats like their new home!

They were never ours. We just enjoyed feeding them and observing how they acted with us, each other, and the donkeys.

I understand, but you liked seeing them there, you fed them, you photographed them and wrote about them, so proprietorship is not important, it was the emotional link…

Amen, I keep thinking if Buddy had been kept in the back pasture or had been fixed, this might not have worked out like this.

Awww. I hope they are happy in their new home and I hope Nanny’s arthritis isn’t bothering her too much.

Me too, JM. Bob guessed that maybe the goat glucosamine chondroitin might have become too expensive to maintain.

What a shame. We have a field near us where goats and Shetland ponies happily coexist

I personally think that if Buddy were neutered he might be less aggressive and maybe the goats could have remained.

Did they tell you where to find the goats? It’s a shame we won’t see them again.

They did not say. Just that David probably sold them to somebody would care for them. We do miss our goats.

It is never easy saying goodbye to one goat much less three. Not that I would necessarily know this, but I am certain of it anyway.

Any animal that you have grown fond of is hard to say good by to. We had bonded with these goats. They knew us and would come up to the fence. When we left, they all stuck their heads out between the slats as if to say, “Don’t leave us.”

My mom had a deer she named Baby, that came to her property every few weeks to hang out, and this continued for many years. She never seemed to have a partner or a group, but she was friendly and seemed to like my mom. One day she showed up covered in blood and limping, and my mom said, “This is probably the last time we’ll see her.” But Baby was a survivor and soon recovered and a year later began bringing her own babies to visit. When my mom moved to a new house a few miles away, Baby was all we could talk about, and we all hoped, somehow, Baby would find us at the new location. Of course, that didn’t happen, but to this day, we still talk about her.
