No new baby goats in the #BabyGoatCountdown, but the 5 I've got are still ridiculously cute.

@sundogplanets My birding father says those are likely whooping cranes flying over.

@Chigaze @sundogplanets
Respectfully to your dad...I don't see the legs, that are as long as the neck of a crane, trailing behind, more likely to be snow geese

@sundogplanets looks like heaven

wunderbares Foto...

@NMBA You may be right. They’re a long way off and both are migrating right now.

@Chigaze @NMBA This particular V was definitely snowgeese (sorry the photo is terrible), but we saw loads of sandhill cranes today too! No whooping cranes that I saw.

It is time for the baby goats to test out gently trampling on the livestock guardian dogs #BabyGoatCountdown

Dogs the size of mountains, to a tiny goat!

Patient beasts, too.

What is so funny about this to me is that dogs will also exhibit kind of the same behavior of sitting on each each other

[mcourcel@allovertheplace.ca]

@sundogplanets hehehe lololol! Very patient doggies!

[cratermoon@zirk.us]

@sundogplanets awesome to see the kids having fun and bonding so soon. I know those dogs will turn into their most ferocious defenders when the time calls for it.

[radiocarbann@mastodon.social]

@sundogplanets are the goats tiny or the dogs big, or both?

[wa7iut@mastodon.radio]

@sundogplanets

I saw those geese just a few weeks ago!

[axomamma@mastodon.online]

@sundogplanets Your dogs and goat babies gave me diyabeetus!

@sundogplanets @lisamelton BABBEHS!!

[dasparky@spore.social]

@sundogplanets oh my heart... your LGDs look like our Gretchen and (long deceased) Emma. 🥹️

[guillotine_jones@beige.party]

@sundogplanets
The dogs appear to be used to this behavior, Prof Lawler.

[deepmud@mas.to]

@sundogplanets and this does explain why sheep are good under solar panels, but goats are not.

[challis2070@mastodon.art]

@sundogplanets The dogs look vaguely...baffled...by this.

@Guillotine_Jones @sundogplanets
They're really patient with their wards. Sometimes livestock guardian dogs are brought up with goats/sheep etc as puppies and they have a real bond. But they're still very gentle either way.

Here's the late lamented Snowball guarding stuff.
