New home ?

Since we lost Bo, I have been looking for a new home for Rei that would offer him some company. No luck so far but today we visited a lovely lady who may be able to help. She doesn't have goats so it's not perfect, but she does have nine acres, a stable block, two really friendly sheep called Doris (!) and Minstrel and what seems like lots of love and time for animals. We had a good look around and showed her photos of Rei and she seems happy to give it a go. They would all live together so Rei would be able to play with the sheep and snuggle up with them at night.


The lady rescued the sheep from a farm. They were in a very poor state when she found them and after nursing them back to health, she couldn't give them up so paid the farmer so she could keep them. They are now the happiest looking sheep I have ever seen. She knows nothing about goats but I'm sure she would take good care of Rei. It's only about 10 miles away so I could visit and make sure he is ok.  It is really hard to think about giving him up, but I know I have to do something as he is so lonely without Bo and i just cant take on another animal. I am going to think it through this week before making a decision. I have had a chat with Rei about it.
