he got out.  Nogal.  i'd been on the phone,  a long time.  Jan the dog trainer called because she'd not heard from me.  It was a looooong conversation,  and Good,  but long,  way into the feed time for Goats and i knew that,  but they were quiet so i talked.

but…Ho…..went out and there he was.  Nogal.  OUT.  Tay with him,  they are about the same size.  Tay is 90 lbs.  So now i know.  She was out there,  with him,  i don't know how long …they were out there, together.  First time for both of them,  out,  together.   I said to her…Bring Him and she ran behind him,  softly,  nothing much,  just running behind him and i held open his gate where the feed bowls are and where Ten Zen was eating,  just held open the gate and told Tay to bring  him and it wasn't nothing amazing or whatever,  but i held his gate open and he went in …because it's where the feed was and i still can't tell how he got OUT?  i guess over the low part of the fence?  i don't know,  but he WAS   OUT and quietly just out and Tay was there with him for some time without indicating she was and so in a way it is NOT good….that he DID get out,  but in another way it is GREAT because he was out…gently,  quietly, and Tay was there,  just being there…no comotion,  just there

oh, eeeeeee

this is a whole new thing.  Once they know………………………oh, eeee

    Tay, so smart.. you are so blessed to have such a wonderful goat supervisor. But scary to know that the goat will remember and possibly repeat!

    Brilliant…dog and goat in harmony bodes well for the future, but of course one must fix the escape place///still…just brilliant.
    The cloth is complex…like life, and is that a river I see? I love looking with a magnifying glass. I see two just pinned patches. This is fun watching it develop.

    this is such a wonderful cloth…your escape artist has a supervisor to keep him under her control…and without commotion. Fine, fine dog Tay is. Glad you will not be subjecting the animals to the long drive in intense heat..better for them and surely better for you.

    Journey cloth is coming together … I love the colors. Sounds like Nogal and Taylor came together on a journey of their own. Glad it ended so well…

    she didn’t really DO anything…but really, that in its self
    is quite Wonder Full….that she just was quietly Out There,
    hanging out with him.
    When we ever do finally get to the Hill, the Goat Forest is
    BIG and it is my intention to take her into it with me and Them,
    so, this told me a lot about how that might just be Easy
    and yes. all along, it’s been my premise that if it NEVER happens, if you can keep it from Ever happening, then it will never be an issue. So…HA! it DID. but today, it seems just ok. It wasn’t an INTENDED ESCAPE….just a kind of Going because he was hungry. Maybe we can get away with it.

    do you double click?
    a river…well, no, not to me, but it could be to someone else.
    and a river is like a path, so…it could be
    for me, it’s a path made from who i always have been…who
    any one always has been, from when we were young and then
    just going, hardly noticing sometimes that it’s the same
    fabric, our life….

    she really wasn’t supervising…as much as just hanging out With.
    But that’s even better.
    and yes. a hard decision, but the right one.
