Pluto is settling in well. The goats accepted him after a day or two, and he's learning not to be scared of them (although Nubbin is determined to make sure he doesn't get too comfortable around her!). Usually about once a day I hear the puppy yelping and I'll look out the window to see him trapped by Nubbin in some corner or in a shed. Nubbin doesn't usually hit him, but he's terrified that she might because she so enjoys threatening him and posturing at him.
This morning was particularly funny. I have a little doghouse in the girls' pen where Pluto can sleep at night and also hide from the goats when they are mean to him. Nubbin is far too big to fit in that doghouse (she's been too big for a year!), and she hasn't crawled into it for at least 18 months. However, knowing that it belongs to Pluto, Nubbin decided that she would assert her dominance by taking over his house. I heard him barking his head off this morning and went to see what the commotion was about. Pluto was standing a few feet from his doghouse, angrily yapping at Nubbin as she lay crammed in there with her head poking out the door. She had an insanely annoying smug look on her face which was driving Pluto mad. Nubbin just stared at him the whole time as if to say, "Oh yeah? I'm in your house, and what are you gonna do about it, Pipsqueak?"
All I can say is, "Watch out Nubbin! That dog will be twice your size in a few months!"
