dog thinks its a goat....?
I know this sounds crazy but.... my 9mo old Beagle who just lost his dog friend that he was raised with was introduced to the newest member of the family a few months ago a 4mo old Nubian Doe; I have recently been noticing that along with the normal palling around my dog has been trying to graze, he follows the goat and tries to eat weeds and trees! They sleep cuddled up on the dog bed togeather too. Its so cute:/

I used to raise beagles. Now, I'm not one to pick on or insinuate something to the mental abilities of this fine breed of dog but your goat maybe the brains of operation here.

That is so cute
I had a GSD that hung out with the horses in the pasture and would graze with them. And I currently have a cat who is best buds with Mini-Donk and he eats hay along with her...so much that I have to take him to the vet to get unplugged!!

My boxer grazes too. She's not very bright either. I worried about it and looked it up. Apparently, boxers like grass. Who knew?

Maddie she is cleaning you up to eat you . We have a dog named Titan who hangs out with the goats. He herds them up if they go to far and browse along with them. He's very smart he knows the goats get captian crunch once a day and he knows one of them goats gives very good milk.

I have a dog that grazes with the horse and goats too. She also "helps" us weed the garden.

One of my goats loves dog food. We have to keep her away when we feed the dogs.

One of my barn cats lives with the does. The other toms beat him up, but the does won't let them into their house. They will let this tom in, so he has moved in with them. He gets the first squirts of milk from them, and sits quietly and waits for it. Then he hangs out with them all day, and sleeps with them at night.

My goat and pig and cat all hang out together and graze on the lawn, then they all sleep next to each other

I have the opposite problem . . . I have a billy that was raised as a 4-H Pet and thinks he's a dog . . . a LAP DOG!!!

Ever have a stinkin' 150 lb Kiko in full rut try to climb on your lap and beg for a treat?
