I spent time playing with Pongo this evening. What a sweet boy he is! He's so sweet and polite. Usually by this time I've had to reprimand kids for head-butting my legs for attention or for jumping up too violently and demanding to be held or played with. But despite his status as a ridiculously spoiled "only kid," Pongo has stayed completely sweet so far. He politely asks for attention by gently raising one front leg and giving me a melting, puppy-dog look. If I bend down and offer him my hands he carefully stands up and places his front feet in them. He loves to be held and cuddled, and he really loves to run wildly around the goat pen with us, prancing and caprioling and leaping off tires and teeter-totters, but he doesn't demand immediate and undivided attention like many kids his age do. He's as soft as a little bunny rabbit and he's growing like a weed! I weighed him yesterday and he was over 35 lbs. That's huge for a kid only 8 weeks old! I have high hopes that this little guy will one day be a stellar packgoat!
