Success With Skittles

6 Jun

I implemented my plan of putting Maisie with Skittles.

Maisie and Skittles

It went so well the first day that I added a second goat, Popcorn, the next day.

Then they spent the night together.  Everybody was still alive in the morning!

Skittles might be a bit irritated with me.

She won’t even look at me or let me pet her.

I think it is mostly because I shut her off the house pasture, but also because I keep putting her on the lead.

I had to use food to catch her.

I waited until after our rainstorms went through on Tuesday before letting them all be together.  I was still a little nervous.
