strange behavior in my doeling.

[Donna1982]

I noticed today while watching my doeling boer in the water dish do something I've never seen a goat do. She would dunk her whole face and ears up to her eyes and move her head back and forth. She wouldnt cough when coming up and did it more then once before I could get to her. When I called her name she looked at me like what? And then started to drink. She's not blind check that and shes eating normal. Could she have been playing or cooling off? Every goat I've seen hates to get wet. So could this be normal?

my saanen kids drink milk out of a bucket and they dive their whole head in, she may just be a newbie especially if just weaned and hasnt learned she doesnt have to hide her whole head to get a drink.
Now, these past two weeks my girls will stand to be sprayed with the hose because its so friggin hot i guess it feels good enough to them they accept it as the lesser of the two evils

Goats are weird.
