What did you do today?

[Missy]

Pongo has done two more stints as bell ringer this week and he just gets better every time, although I'm going to have to replace that bell handle! He's chewing it to smithereens. I tried to get a video yesterday but my camera was out of batteries. I'll have to try again next week. We have 3 more shifts Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. I was originally planning to rotate and take different goats on different days, but Pongo is so sweet and seems to be having such a good time with it that I don't see any reason to change goats. He's absolutely precious and he's learning all kinds of new tricks. The only trick he knew before Wednesday was to shake hands. Now he knows how to ring a bell (and he'll even pick it up off the ground if he drops it sometimes, which is a precursor to "fetch"). He learned how to "spin" counterclockwise and "dance" by going up on his hind legs on Friday. We practiced them more today and he also started learning how to go down on his knees and "repent". He also knows to jump up in the front seat of the truck when I open the passenger door and he has learned that when I get in the driver's seat he has to immediately lay down and stay down while I drive. He's such a good boy!! I'll get a video next time we're down there.

Thankyou for sharing the picture! He is the cutest bell ringer ever!
That is amazing all the tricks he knows!  How do you teach the "repent" trick? I think that would be a neat thing to teach Dill.
