Well group. I just have to put my 2cents worth in here...LOL I can laugh at your distress because I relate to it well. I raise Great Pyrenees. I sell most of them for livestock guardians. They are in with goats. Or should I say they have goats around for company. We only have three goats (more to come) all wethers (castrated males for you city folks). Dutch is a big Alpine (huge!), Willie is a medium sized Alpine/Toggenburg mix., and Riley is our new one who just loves to climb on my car by the way! Just this morning, I went out to the car to go to work. Willie walks up to me to say good morning. I opened the back door of the car to let Gandalf (one of our Pyrs) "load up". And on command, Willie loaded up! Climbed right in the back seat and laid down! I could have kicked his butt! You never know what these goats are going to do and I would not give mine up for love nor money. One thing when you own goats. You are going to laugh, one way or the other!
Hang in there Binky and just laugh! Laughs now-a-days are to far and few between not to.
