This was the flock today, Feb. 25.
No, we went from three to six goats, as it seems. That last animal in the bottom of the picture, you Vrille, the dog that 'us' little flock with the help when it comes out to pasture, or, as it used to say, "broaden" the beasts.
Vrille does not have very clear ideas about himself and what to do. For his part, that is young, and that perhaps our mistake, even when he was younger, just three months (she was born in August 2010) had a traumatic encounter with menacing horns of Augusta. Mercilessly put to flight, with the classic "Cai! Cai!".
Experience has scored.
now is recovering, has become more courageous, deals with the flock, barking and when to back off is not cut and run, but only a tactical retreat, to return shortly afterwards on the scene.
But his training as a sheepdog is still far from satisfactory. For example, tends to make its voice with small, less with the big ones. Here you see it, that still needs to understand that it is a dog, not a goat, and his diet is not theirs. Is learning the reasons why goats appreciate so much the grass, and investigates the consequences of not being a ruminant!

However, the herd has grown from a few days. They are five hours.
Adolfo, the 'becchèt', a beautiful mantle dark, almost black, semi long hair, has been shown a great character. Since he was born in late August 2010, and then only six months of life. A strong character and strong, but also docile, at least for the moment. Then we'll see.
the first exit, after a short period of acclimatization to the new group, spent in the barn, I learned new smells, new situation, it is well placed. In haste, has carved its own niche and a role. Al point that has not been slow to warm effusions show for Brown. Which, I must admit, flirting with plenty of new young man of the house. Indeed, we would say more. He seemed rather pleased with the new knowledge. Although we do not believe, for now, the courtship has reached its goal. But what was
evvenuto is sufficient to put all of us a certain something that contrasts with the sparkling of the everyday routine.

We'll see how the situation will evolve. We will keep you informed.
The other is a new kid stesssa age, being herself in August 2010. The physical aspect is the most obvious feature of Alpine chamois. Name: Gertrude. Minute or two. Mild character. He has suffered quite a few attacks by 'residents'.

We tried once to put an adult hen in a chicken coop already well established. Nothing to do. Do not even try it. Not survived the terrible experience of the aggression of others.
there have been humiliated. Augusta said its leadership on several occasions. Botte authentic. Then less and less energetic, and in the end only ritual gestures. We can say now that their inclusion is a problem that is behind us.
Obviously with the growth of Adolf, his manhood, not only we will see some good in the flock. It will not be pretty much a 'puppy' to cherish, from what he told the shepherds, and also for our experience, we will be well to be with eyes wide open e. .. watch their backs!
However now, with the growth of 'community' Traccialino of the Spirit, joy is increased, new life, new experiences, new opportunities!

This evening at sunset, the sun does not heat up more, the flock presents itself. Quiet, well-intended otherwise. There is quick with the latest burnt, every minute needs to be exploited to the full. There is no time for social or erotic skirmishes. The communication now appears as a luxury. We try to refuel, before returning to the stable ... Meanwhile, the weather forecast promising new snowfall. These pastures hurried prelude to a cold primevara that, for now, is slow in coming ...
