Goats Don't Swim
I went out to feed and found Nate soaked from head to hoof. Drenched. He obviously had taken a spill in the water trough. What I found most interesting was my Pyr, Gabby. She was also wet but just from her chest to her face. I'm sure she got the little guy out.

He was shivering so I dried him off and put a fleece lined jacket on for the night.

I'm also sure one of the goats I bought recently butted him. I've been having problems with them from day one.

Aw, poor li'l feller! Your photo doesn't show up, but I'm sure Nate was a goatsicle after his dip in the watering trough. Bet he won't do that again.

Little Rascal somehow got out of his coat. I have velcro and snaps on them. Maybe he had a little help from his friends.
