In our little farm, the image that comes to mind is our Romeo is a gorgeous Lamancha buck bought as a baby buckling from a dear friend Autumn, from Raven's Haven, winner of so many goat awards! My human Romeo (Jacque), also my husband, wanted to get him for his great attitude and His coloring and diversification of Lamancha lines.!!! We were blessed to get him and his offspring have been GORGEOUS!
Yesterday we went to sell at impromptu farmers market, and that pm, my human Romeo found our goat Romeo wandering around near his pen...... He was easy to bring back to his large pen, but my heart was beating being by him, because this is still mating season for milk goats and this Romeo smelled to "high heaven". When someone says someone smells like an old goat, you really should smell a buck in heat to know what they are talking about. AND if you are on a farm, anytime between say July and about March..... Back away from the male goats because you might get an unexpected happening and you will need two or maybe three showers and a change of clothing too! I apparently had a coat on yesterday that I had visited our milk goats in and their scent drove Romeo wild!
Last night I dreamed of Romeo the goat getting loose and running after me. And today, on Sunday, a day of rest, this is what I saw. Romeo in the front Yard while Hubby was trying to leave for a meeting. Jacque secured Romeo (the goat) and walked him back to former Delawareville, now High fence residence to one Delaware rooster who wants to know what is this thing in HIS pen. Promises to be an interesting afternoon. Now, my dreams are not always predictive. I am not Joseph the dream weaver. I suppose one could say that I went to sleep and my subconscious played out its concerns. Had Jacque been a little later in leaving for the meeting, perhaps I would have seen Romeo walking/running and in my trying to get him, he might have decided a game of chase would have been fun.....
Well for now, unless Romeo practices a super high jump, he is safely penned, although if he is really smart, there is a spot above the gate to his pen that he could back to the far end of the pen and jump over. I think I'll just go sit by Romeo's pen until Hubby gets home.There is one thing that life on a farm NEVER IS: Boring........
