The Days of Our Children

Gouda (the little devil) seems to get out but cant find his way back in. I was woke this morning at 6:45 by Cliffs familiar call GOATS ARE OUT.

Motzi and Gouda were out but Motzi as usual when Cliff went outside found her way back in but not Gouda.

After watching him jump back and forth along the fence line like a rabbit and not able to find his way back in Cliff set his snare. When caught you would have thought that we were killing him. As I carried him back to set him inside the fence his little heart was beating so fast. Usually I go back to bed to catch a bit more sleep even if its only 15 minutes but this morning I got some coffee and sat down to post this.
