Jump started morning
Anyone else have a goat that sleeps so soundly that you think they have died? Happened again this morning with Ivy. Really made me wake up. LOL
Of course she just looks at me with a "What" face.

OH yes. My tri-color Mini-Manch doe does that. I can't tell you how many times I've been sure she was dead.

Oh yes!!! Chime one of our show babies. Shortly after I got her home she was laid out with her neck off to the back. You know one of them positions that looks like their neck HAS to be broke. I went out early morning calling her and calling her. I finally found her and actually nudge her with my foot. No movement started bawling screaming "Chime no oh Chimey why." I picked her up and she woke up. Looked up at me yawned and looked at me like what is your problem crazy lady? I was never so happy and mad at the same time.

Princess Icy Pines (Princess for short) does that to me. SHE likes to curl up in a corner of something and get into the "my bones have been mangled" position. Scared me more than once!

Oh yes! And it is ALWAYS my favorites or most valuable that like to do so. Donna I have one of my bucks so something very similar to what Chime did. I went to the buck pen to feed and he was just laying there on his side not moving an inch even when I yelled his name, I thought for sure he was dead because he even had a glassy eyed look but the little snot was just sleeping (how he slept with his eyes open I will never know)! I could have killed him right then and there  .

Well that explains it! More than once I've though Boston Blackie was dead. I can call out to him, rattle a bucket, shake the gate, and nothing. The first time he did it, I was so certain he was dead I started getting tearing and was going to go move his body out of the goat pen. I leaned over to pick him up and realized he was watching me! Little turd.

A couple of mine have given me a scare like that before! I actually go in the stall to make sure they are breathing & sometimes they still don't wake up.

I could have swore one of mine was dead the other morning. Laying flat out right in the doorway where they come in the barn. I was coming out to milk first thing in the morning, hollered two or three times at her and nothing. Finally opened the gate to the pen, walked up to her and thought, man I am going to have to carry off a dead goat this morning, squatted down beside her and touched her eye, she opened her eye and looked at me, and I thought OK not dead just sick. She laid there about 30 seconds, then rolled up on all fours. Set up like that for 30 seconds or so, then just stood up and walked off like nothing was wrong. Nothing in the world wrong with her except sound asleep.

You mean goats will play this trick too? Oy. Two of my ferrets sometimes sleep so soundly that you can pick them up and shake them and they flop around like a wet noodle. I think I die a little every time it happens.

I think ALL ferrets do this. We have had about 7 and every single one would do this.
