Gail | Monday, September 02, 2002 - 11:24 am     Wow! Goats can sure jump high!! Ask me how I know this. |
Egbok | Monday, September 02, 2002 - 11:40 am     Gosh, I'm almost afraid to ask this....but how do you know that goats (Juju by chance?) can jump high? |
Gail | Monday, September 02, 2002 - 11:54 am     Well, this morning, my neighbor brought my goat over to meet my dogs. We had jujujr in the yard just checking things out and then I let out my two little hellions. If you ask the dogs how they like the goat, I think the answer is "well done." Maddie and Travis chased this poor little goat all over the yard - I was really amazed at how high and how far the goat could jump to stay away without much effort. There was one spot I was worried about and the goat found it - the access to get under my house is about 2 feet high and 4 x 4 feet square. It is about 4 feet from the fence. The goat jumped on it, then leaped to the fence and sailed over. He went running back to the neighbors house to be with his brother. They appear to be inseparable. Now, the goats and the sheep are in my back yard, the dogs are inside in their area and can't see the goats and the goats are up on the deck snoozing in the sun. I figure I will try introductions again later in the week. If it had been another dog, it would have been the same. |
Egbok | Monday, September 02, 2002 - 12:13 pm     Oh my goodness Gail, that is a hoot! I was especially cracking up over the dogs liking their goat "well done". LOL!! I hope the second introduction later in the week goes just a bit better!! |
Kstme | Monday, September 02, 2002 - 12:18 pm     Gail...what a HOOT! Pure chaos! Don't you just love it??? Those goats are soooo cute!!! I can imagine how your puppers are reacting!LOL |
Twiggyish | Monday, September 02, 2002 - 12:39 pm     Bring your video camera next time! That's funny. |
Squaredsc | Monday, September 02, 2002 - 02:21 pm     lol gail, especially the well-done comment. |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, September 02, 2002 - 04:26 pm     Uhhhhhhh ... Juju didn't get hurt, did he? |
Gail | Monday, September 02, 2002 - 04:31 pm     No, he didn't get hurt - I think he was wondering why he had ping pong balls taped to him though. They spent most of the day munching out in my yard. Didn't make much of a dent though. |
Car54 | Monday, September 02, 2002 - 04:33 pm     Can we have a goat-cam in your yard to watch Juju's little namesake? We are kinda bored since the sock got picked up. Eating grass would be very soothing. |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, September 02, 2002 - 11:05 pm     Goat-cam! Yay!! |
Rose_City | Tuesday, September 03, 2002 - 05:30 pm     I just love your goats! They are gorgeous! |
Halfunit | Tuesday, September 03, 2002 - 07:04 pm     GOAT CAM !!

Juju2bigdog | Tuesday, September 03, 2002 - 08:55 pm     AAAAAAIiiiieeeeee!!!! Errrrrr, I mean ... Hahahahahahahahaha! Good one, Halfunit! |
Vanillarose | Saturday, September 07, 2002 - 12:20 am     Goats are one of my very favorite animals!! Thanks for sharing the picture of your goat!! Just looking at it makes me laugh!!! Look at the expression on his face!!! |
Flyonthwall | Saturday, September 07, 2002 - 11:53 am     LOL thanks for the laughs you all! This is the best thread since the Sock experiment! So many names and such good one's to choose from! Of course Juju is by far the learder! But I loved the one about the see my goat TEE..ROFL Weedeater.. since he eats the grass. Mr. Jingles...always thought that was cute from the Green Mile! Springs.. since he can jump so high! of course FLY would be a good name too! LOL Okay okay...Juju's the best! Thanks for the laughs! |
Sia | Saturday, September 07, 2002 - 04:38 pm     You guys mean the sock actually was removed from the hallway? I followed the sock-thread for quite a while, but have been so busy lately that I've mostly been reading BB threads and missed the conclusion! Wow! Who picked up the sock? |
Vanillarose | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 06:26 am     Can we have more pictures from the goat cam soon? Pretty please???
 |
Ddr1135 | Sunday, September 08, 2002 - 06:53 am     Maybe the goat cam would help us with the withdrawals from BB3 live feed at the end of September.... |
Gail | Monday, October 14, 2002 - 05:10 pm     Here is an updated goat picture taken yesterday. We almost have the fence up around most of my property. Yesterday, we let all the sheep and 2 goats over to the big part of my yard so they could graze. I have to say, they have done a great job on the smaller part of my yard. Having these guys out grazing all next year will really cut down on mowing. If the camera had been pointed a tiny bit over to the right, you would have seen Pikes Peak in the background. That is me with the 2 kids. Mine is the white one, Juju and the other is Milo (but I think my neighbors are renaming him to Tigger because so far, we have no fences around that hold him. He can jump 5 feet high easily.

Kstme | Monday, October 14, 2002 - 09:03 pm     Gail...WOW! What a wonderful picture! They're so adorable! |
Misslibra | Monday, October 14, 2002 - 10:23 pm     He is very cute. Have we decided on a name yet? If not I was thinking since he can jump so high name him Jumper. You might have put up another fence to keep the dogs separated from the Goat. |
Juju2bigdog | Monday, October 14, 2002 - 10:49 pm     Juju is the cutest of the three by far! I would recognize him anywhere. MissLibra, the goat is named Juju. Isn't that a cute name for a goat??!!!! |
Misslibra | Monday, October 14, 2002 - 11:20 pm     LMAO!! Yes Juju cutest name of all! But how will we know which Juju we are talking about?? Didn't want to get you two confused.  |
Gail | Tuesday, October 15, 2002 - 12:28 am     I am surprised these goats don't explode from eating so much. You can see the stomach on mine - it's like he has a basketball inside him. They were out eating for about 6 hours. |

Whoami | Friday, October 18, 2002 - 12:54 pm     Gail, if you run out of weeds/grass, bring little Juju to my house. I haven't had time to mow the weeds all summer! I promise I won't let the dogs out until he's done. |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, October 18, 2002 - 05:54 pm     Yay! Jujugoat has his first job! Go Juju! |
Fruitbat | Friday, October 18, 2002 - 06:12 pm     When I was 25 I had dreams of buying goats. It never happened. I did not want to be tied to the milking. I even took a correspondence course and leared a lot. I wanted my first to be a nubian and I had named her Trapeze. I love the word. I like to name animals after words that draw me in. |
Grooch | Friday, October 18, 2002 - 06:19 pm     I want an Alpaca. |
Fruitbat | Friday, October 18, 2002 - 06:43 pm     I saw them at the state fair this year. How cute does it get! I love them. |
