My wife got me a rescue goat as I've posted before.  Buster was left in a home that buster watching the boys swimwas foreclosed on, our friend rescued him, and we took him in.  We took him blind, hadn't seen or learned much about him before we agreed to take him.  What a treasure we found!  The family that left him must have been sad as he is very people friendly and dependent - was clearly loved.

Our grandsons came over for Father's Day and ended up swimming in the irrigation ditch as we got water that day.  Buster followed them and just wanted to hang out with the boys.

The boys played with Buster, and swam the length of the ditch.  They loved it, Buster loved it, and we are happy they can all enjoy the simple pleasures of life.  It is the simple pleasures that crebuster tasting next winter's groceriesate the biggest joy and longest lasting memories in life. 

Our grandsons swimming in tgrandsons swimming in the irrigation ditchhe irrigation ditch ... it is a big part of why we bought our property.  And Buster the goat ... he enjoyed getting into the pasture to sample next winter's groceries while he played with the family.

Goat's eyes scare me but when I was a kid the day camp I went to a couple of summers had a coat, which was great with kids.  My father always talked fondly about the goat's they had when he was a kid on a farm, the dogs worked, the goat played with the kids (I mean children.)

A rescue goat sounds unusual but glad you could take him in. You all have a friendly creature to join in your family time, the more the merrier!

What a happy Father's Day story!

Fernando - I like how you think!  He and his buddies were abandonded a week before our friend got to them.  He is very special and we're glad to have him.

Maureen - Goats have special eyes thats for sure.  Can't say that I've seen one blink.

Sara - We had four pygmy goats is why our friend called us.  We didn't know he'd be so big, but he's buddied up with the smallest of the 4 who is herself a rescue.

Jessie - the name was a struggle at the time.  Short sale would have won hoofs down.

I can't imagine having a goat as a pet, and I also can't imagine swimming in an irrigation ditch. My idea of a pet is a nice, clean kitty cat, and my idea of swimming is in a nice, clean swimming pool. I don't even like the ocean when people drag me to the beach.

Jim, very nice ... and what a nice way to spend your day.  I have never had a goat for a pet, but with Buster, sounds like you have yourself a nice pet.
