Rei has arrived !

We finally picked Rei up from the farm on Saturday. He was very well behaved in the van and when we arrived home, he seemed keen to meet Bo.

Andy said we had to call him 'Rei' rather than 'Ray' (sounds the same) as not to change his real name (Reindeer) but just to shorten it.

Bo was a little shy at first introductions.


















Checking each other out for a while.


















Then finally, the meeting.

It didn't take long for them to decide who was boss. Despite his size, Bosie is a real baby so Rei showed him how he likes to eat first! I guess when you are brought up on a farm with loads of other goats, you do have to fight to get your food.

There is plenty to go around here though.






















Of course White Cat came down to check out the new boy.

















I'm sure the two of them are going to get on fine.

Bo has been showing Rei all the best places to forage. Rei follows Bo around like a shadow.

Only a couple of problems really. One, he can jump the fence and does so constantly. I guess we are going to have to get something better. Two, he STINKS. I'm hoping that this is just from the farm and it will wear off. He smells like REALLY STRONG goats cheese. Not good.

Rei has a funny pink lip.

Rei seems very happy with his new home. Running and jumping around.

I can't bring myself to take down the old sign. I think I'm just going to paint another one for Rei and put it above.
