I had the vet out yesterday to give the goats their shots.I had them all tied out for him & we breezed through quickly,saving Ringo for last.He was already bah-ing over what was going to happen to him.He tried to bite the vet.I had thought he tried to bite me one time,but thought he wouldn`t-couldn`t have.I really believed that they couldn`t bite.Well,the vet said,he tried to bite me!!So now I`m more wary of him.I don`t want to be rid of him even though he is so bad,he is Blackie`s best friend.He nuzzels his ears & loves him,he eats with him....yesterday I tried to lasso him-which I`m very good at now-& he wouldn`t come close enough,so he went into the barn & I pinned him in then gave him cookies & was able to lasso him & get him out with the others.It`s when I go to get the lasso off is when I have the problems to let him loose.I will have to figure something out.
I took some pics of the dogs & the flowers.Bandit has an infection on the outside of his mouth.The vet said to put neosporin on it & if it doesn`t get better,to bring him in.I am going to take him as I can`t bear anything wrong with the animals.They get Dingos in the am & at bedtime,not too many Dingos,they are the smaller ones,but it probably aggravates that spot.He is,after all,still a puppy,not a year old yet.He is going to chew on whatever,might as well be a Dingo,which by the way is over $6 a bag at walmart!

Oh Girlfriend you are good....lassoing a goat! I'm impressed. We run around in circles trying to grab them by the horns. How much did the vet charge? I give the shots in an effort to save a bit but then run them in too often and it gets expensive.
He comes to our home & for all 4 goats,$113.Our vets here are great.They will come the day you call to your home if one is sick,it may not be till late at night,but they get there.phylliso
I love the blue merl and am so fond of shelties and collies. Yours are beautiful.
Blessings
Bandit is a ham - seems to enjoy getting his picture taken! He's beautiful!
I know you're glad the vaccinations are over with for this year! Other than the attempted biting, seems like they did okay.
