Goats arrive

Allsorts have been going on of late!!!!
We had a call late at night to go and rescue a beautifull pedigree german shepherd dog, he was driving his foster parents mad, social services had told his original owners its the dog or the chidren, so he was put with there friends who could not cope with him pooing and peeing all over there house, so late at night i got a call come and get him before they kicked him to death for making a mess, they were in town in high flats and he was getting in more and more trouble, Ipicked him up and was handed all his papers i put him in my car wondering what i had just landed myself with, sure that our love would help him out... we drove home and walked in the forest with him till 1.30 in the morning as i wanted his firts poops etc in the forest not in his bedding area, we decided to keep him outside for now so there would be no issues with mess and him worrying about being knocked about for it, well so far hes never messed his area, and always goes on his walks, he sits, walks heals and also learnt to lay down, hes settled in well with the pack and is a perfect gentleman. Some people!!! well i think we will leave my comments there..lol
So the Goats!!!
Next arrival, I have an advert on preloved offering homes to unwanted farm animals, so i was contacted by a lady in Walsall, i assumed she had a small holding or city farm....mmm well she was a lovely lady, with an unusual back yard!!!! lol... she had 30 odd chucks 10 ducks geese, dogs and kids and a shed for the chucks, she's fed the goat very well on concentrates if any thing maybe a little too well..lol ... they are lovely tame goats and are being introduced to grass carefully today, they walk on leads and are very kind and gentle.... It was quite an adventure in our newly aquired landrover discovery. We decided that after last winter being snowed in it was time to get a good off road vehicle.. right its time for me to get on, must go walk all the animals....
