Chillin' with the herd
So far so good. He escaped under the wall of his stall last night into the open stall next to him. It ended up being okay. He's not dead and he and the goats seem to have worked out many of their issues.
In fact while I was milking this morning, he decided to take a nap in their breakfast.
Then I started to walk the fenceline with him. He (and all the goats of course) followed along. We made it down one side then he turned back, started crying and tried to figure his way back into the barn. I helped him find his way into the closed stall. He promptly crawled under the wall and plopped down for a nap right in the open stall.

He's so cute, I just want to be out there with him. It's so hard to leave him to the goats! We've decided to call him Asher.
I've been checking on him during milkings (and sometimes once in between). He can still squeeze under the gate to the milking parlor and does when I'm milking. I can't wait for him to get too big to do that- shouldn't be long.
This morning, he was curled up with the leased buck, Buddy. I wish I could have gotten a picture, but he got up when I tried to get close enough.
He's doing great I am just scared of ruining him. :/

You will not ruin him by loving on him! Leave him with you while you milk. Remember he is a baby and gentle corrections are best. Lots of praise!

He loves to clean out the strip cup! My son's silkies (who also squeeze under the gate) are not happy to be losing their snack.
I guess I've just read so much about being sure they bond with the goats that I'm afraid to have him bond with us more. He's such a sweet baby.
