You Never Know What They'll Do Next!
Oh, My! Got home from running around, got out of the van, and heard a goat squalling. It was not the "Hi, Mom! Do you have food?" squall. No, it was that spine-chilling, "HELP! I'm in trouble!" squall. It was coming from the Port-A-Hut shelter on the hillside of Pasture #1. I shambled up there as quickly as I could, and there was Dreamy, on her back, stuck between the pallet & plywood floor and the pallet front. No idea how long she was stuck like that, but she was unhurt, and it was not hard to free her - Thank God! Thank God, as I'd lost her twin (Drama) to Listeriosis this past winter, and I have such high hopes for Dreamy. She's developing so nicely, and is a promising milker!

That was lucky you found her. Sometimes noisy complaining is a good thing.

I just got my first goats, almost 2 weeks ago now. They are named Joanie and Chachi and they are trouble. They like to get in my shed if I leave the door open, found them both in there a couple of nights ago, all the way in the back and inside my tool cabinet. They were having a good time though.

Once a kid, Bella, got stuck between two stalls. (All the baby goats could fit through.) I was terrified that maybe she couldn't breathe and started pulling her gently backward. She refused to come and then hopped through to the other side with no problem! Honestly, I think she just decided to take a rest in between climbing through. Goats are always trying to find new ways to give us heart attacks! Some kids even go so far as to lay on their side in the 'dead goat' position, not moving, when they're perfectly fine!

Glad she's ok, poor thing. We had our first 'I'm stuck' experience last night with a 6 month old doeling. From the baby monitor, we can hear maah maah maah and her sister is chiming in. Off we run. For whatever reason she laid down on the floor of the center of the barn and stuck her head through the bottom two slots of her own stall wall and then couldn't get it back out. She could only have gotten it in by laying down flat because the slat is only 4 inches off the ground. And, it's her own stall and the door was standing wide open. 
Who knows, but glad we put the baby monitor in the barn.

Ya'll are scaring me! Maybe I shouldn't get goats. We have sink holes in the pasture. See, I keep telling DH that getting goats might not be a good idea with those holes out there. He keeps telling me that they won't get in there. I saw the irrigation pipe that a neighbors kid climbed up, thought they would never get him out! I don't know, my heart might not be strong enough for goats... I am glad you got your little girl out of there, and that she is not hurt.

Don't worry, it's not that it happens often, it's that they do it in crazy ways. Also, goats are totally worth it!
