| While surfing the web, I found a website that mentioned they'd gotten wire spools and made a playground for their pygmy goats. It sounded like a great idea, so I called Hamilton County Electric Coop (our electricity supplier) and they said, "Sure, we give them away free but only have 5 right now.". We hooked up the trailer and drove the 45 minutes to Hamilton, TX and picked them up. We told them we'd be back for more later. Justine screwed some plywood on top to cover the center holes so the goats wouldn't break their legs. They already love to jump around on them. We'll add some ramps and maybe a slide later. | |
