Hope they're still doing OK.

Well, I'm breathing a sigh of relief that those naughty goats are all right. I hope all continues to go well. Good Grief. Insulation . . . . . . .

I won't even ask what in the world they could get into next.

Today we have berries...but they are sticking together. I'm confident that we are out of the woods and all will be fine. I let them out today..they are laying in the sun

Thanks Goodness they sound like they are going to be fine! Those Crazy goats!

At first when I seen the title of your thread I didn't see you were the OP but I should have guessed. They sure find alot of things to do around the house while your not watching don't they?

Yes...but I think it could be a lot worse. It's one of the negatives of having them free range. I don't have any children but really I do! A lot of them!!!

Make Gretta a warmer sweater! She's the one that had the bright idea of warming herself from the inside out.

Whew! I'm glad they are ok.

I had a goat eat a bungey cord once. Thankfully, she wasnt dumb enough to eat the metal parts.

I've been watching this thread, of course. I'm glad everything is looking good. I had visions of pink berries.

They're probably walking past that shed grumbling, ' it's too bad that restaurant shut down'.

Here is my view from where I sit at the computer...I just snapped this pic of the innocent naughties walking by.Help! Goats ate insulation! - Goats
The shed on the left is the one they got into. It's actually their summer cottage and the chickens live in there. Hubby was in the process of insulating it when he got sick in Dec and was not able to finish...that's why the insulation was in there. It was so nice out (30 degrees) that I thought maybe the chickens would come outside, so dummy me, put up a blockade in front of the door that the chickens could get out and keep the goats out...they busted down the blockade while I wasn't looking.

You know what...you are right! I bet they were casing the shed to see if there were any other ways to get in Luckily I said screw the chickens and locked every door and window.

So what are they doing now?

Other than the initial worry this has got to be one of the all time great HT goat antics threads yet!

Minelson, I LOVE this Pic.... They look like the Three Amigos and they are definitely up to something lol. You had better watch your back. So glad that it has turned out well so scary when our babies get into trouble.

I hate goat emergencies. Like this one, sometimes, even with all the stuff we've read, we really just don't know what to do and it feels so hopeless. I hate that so much.

At least it turned out well this time!
