He is such a character. When we first start our walk he jumps and bucks from excitement, looks like a rodeo bull. He playfully headbutts us, and only our hands when we hold them up. Not like the goat we had when I was 12ish year old, that montherfucker wanted to take you out and stomp your balls if you turned your back on him. The sky was beautiful that day.
That’s actually pretty impressive since goats typically don’t like to get wet. Ours won’t set foot outside if it’s so much as sprinkling.
Oh, he won't stand in the rain. We have one of those rollout awnings on our back deck, as long as the wind isn't up and I can leave it out, he and the dogs hang out there, mostly dry. Or, we have a lean to next to the shop, they're there for windier storms that stays dry. That water is so cold, I can't see yet if he'll follow me deep enough to swim. I usually don't go in further than knee deep until June. I figure it won't be too hard to get him to swim, they say wild goats will swim as a survival skill. And he pretty much follows, or sometimes leads, the dogs around anywhere.
These cats are driving me crazy. We have one that can self moderate her eating and the other is a thicc gurl who will eat like a dog if we let her. We use to feed them at 7am and 5pm but Chonks starts meowing for food around 6:30 which wasn't a big deal when I had to wake up but now it was seriously cutting into my beauty sleep. Another issue with that feeding schedule was that the normal cat would have her fill and then Fats would finish her food off a few hours later. She actually gained 2lbs once we started to try and ration their food instead of open grazing. We did some research and ended up buying a dual bowl automatic feeder. Took their rations of 2 meals a day and now spread it out over 3 meals a day. 7am, noon and 5pm. Seemed to work ok for a few weeks but now both cats act like their starving. Constantly meowing for food and when the feeder announces food, they run to it. They're getting the same amount they've always got and if anything, the normal one is getting more than she use to get. So... what gives?
We have the same situation. Our fuzzy girl eats like a normal cat- a bit here and a bit there. Our 23 pound monster will vacuum up anything and everything. He’ll snarf up all of his food then start eating hers, and I have to hide it from him. He’d eat constantly if we let him.
Yesterday morning I had no idea we were getting a dog. Today, I drove 4hrs round trip to pick up a 10 week old Newfoundland pup. Welcome Zuri to our nut house
Fucking cuteness overload! Congrats! All I can think is train him/her(?) to shit in one spot in the back yard... otherwise you're going to have Jurassic Park like experiences...
Most definitely, I've been lucky so far that every dog I've had tends stick to one area as far as where they shit. Right now, I'm curious whether or not her urine will burn the yard like our St Bernewfie's pee would.
Today she urinated in one of the HVAC vents...this should smell fun when the heat kicks on in September/October. Photos because she's cute:
Grab some enzyme cleaner and pour it down there. Had a rat die in a duct before and it was fucking brutal, but within 24hrs if pouring a few cups of that cleaner, zero smell.
