On the Twenty-third Day of Christmas, look what came to Rikki’s,
twenty three goats a butting,
Yes, and many of the goats we have came because they were evicted from their homes for butting. They can’t help it, they’re goats !!
The black and white goat in the picture above never butted, well not that often anyway, maybe only if you had something she wanted to eat, or she thought you did!! That’s Nanny Goat. She came to Rikki’s cus she was a house goat, but as she grew up it just got so messy !!! Seriously. And, NO, you can’t litterbox train a goat, nor can you house break them. When it’s time to go, the tail goes up, and they go. No matter where they are!
Like the sheep, some of the goats came from pet-a-zoos getting rid of the cute babies. But most come one or two at a time from people who didn’t know much about goats when they thought they’d make great lawnmowers. Goats don’t much like grass. They prefer flowers, your favorite shrubs, any tree you plant, hoses, car trim, window sills, your boots if forget you have a goat and leave them on the front porch, and anything else they can chew on. And NO, they do not eat tin cans !!!
You’ve probably heard the term smelly old goat. But you have no idea what it means till you smell an older male who hasn’t been neutered. You can smell them from awfully far away. And once you smell that smell, you’ll never forget it. But it’s easy to solve, just neuter them !
Goats are also evicted when they dance on top of vehicles. For some reason many hoomans find this very offensive. But didn’t they know goats love to climb and will climb on anything they can find?
Why that’s even in the waiver that you’ll sign if you want to visit Rikki’s Refuge, not only might you get bit, kicked, clawed, butted, climbed on, but your vehicle will most likely get climbed on and if it’s shiny and the goats see their reflection, they’ll butt and butt and butt.
By supporting Rikki’s Refuge, you assure that the goats and others will always have a loving home at Rikki’s Refuge.
