Goat-O-Rama Kids of 2020
#26
I really need to post photos soon! Butterfly is running around like a racehorse, but she's obviously not running "normal". She puts a lot of weight on her front legs and hitches her hind legs along together. I think it's probably painful for her to move her legs independently since it likely torques her pelvis. However, she is mechanically able to move them separately because I've seen her do it a few times when she wasn't moving too quickly. Her left leg seemed stronger when she first got hurt, but now her right leg is the one she primarily walks on. Sometimes when she runs her left leg flops over and hooks over the right hock so she's running with crossed legs. It looks a little ridiculous, but she's mostly keeping up with the other kids. She can't hop or climb yet, but she's sure trying! We are starting to leave her out with the herd for a little longer each day now that she's mobile enough keep up and to get out of the older goats' way. We're still keeping her in the house at night, though, and we'll continue to do that until she's able to jump in and out of the shelters.

George is already turning into a beast! He's a big, strong, long-legged boy and very active but also a little clumsy (or maybe just too brave). He tries to jump higher than he actually can and often ends up bouncing off his target and landing upside-down on his back. He rolls over, pops back up, and sometimes tries again. Nothing seems to keep him down. I only wish his sister weren't hurt because she would absolutely give him a run for his money!
