My lady has gone kind of nuts around here to keep them safe and they not only have picket fence and a dog kennel and a nice house but also pheasant netting over the top of their run and outdoor area due to the very smart hawks that we have around here. Many goat kisses to you and your family.IsobelleGoLightlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10233377230754119180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-55103580537054755832010-05-23T10:43:39.904+01:002010-05-23T10:43:39.904+01:00What an awful weekend you've had.
