(14,118 posts)human children (also called "kids" ) and how full of energy and joy many of them are. It makes my day much better to observe this behavior in humans or goats.

I am still missing our dog, who crossed the bridge on Nov. 22.

(If they're raised with goats/sheep). Baby goaties have springs for legs. I'm sure of it.

You DO know about Great Pyrenees & baby goaties, don't ya!

(15,805 posts)there was always a Pyrs on duty with the herd. They are amazingly patient dogs, capable of being the sleepy, trusted baby sitter one minute, and the ferocious protector of their domain a heartbeat.
They safeguarded my critters and traveled with me to livestock shows as my loyal guardian and i always felt safe. My dear Sarge saved me from a robber trying to break into my camper at a big exhibition. Not many people or predictors want to challenge a Great Pyrenees.
My Powder is the last Pyrs I will own. The livestock is gone and she's a spoiled couch potato, the tolerant foil for my mischievous cat to pounce on. They make me laugh almost as much as watching jumping kids at play.
