Last Friday, Phil and I loaded Pac-Man down with a chainsaw and headed for the woods! There’s an old trail long overgrown that a friend and I like to ride horses on, but the deadfall has made it almost unnavigable. This was Pac-Man’s first time out with a real load on his back (not much … Continue reading The Trail Clearing Project, or Can Pac-Man Pack?
Well, he learned to pack kids, that is! On July 4th Phil and I spent the day at my parents’ house where a lot of other friends and relatives were gathered for the holiday. We had Finn and Pac-Man with us that day and while my mom saddled up her pony for the kids to ride, … Continue reading Pac-Man learns to pack!
We took Pac-Man and Finn to the community Easter egg hunt this morning! This was Pac-Man’s first time pulling kids around in the cart. I drove him with the empty cart once in a while over the winter, and yesterday I hitched him up and practiced leading him with the empty cart, but today was … Continue reading Pac-Man joins the work force
Today was a banner day. Today was the day Pac-Man, the goat who is afraid of heights, discovered that he can be a brave goat after all.

Yesterday, Pac-Man accompanied Phil and I on his first-ever hike! He’s been on walks with us and the girls nearly every day since we got him, but not any bona-fide hikes on real live hiking trails! Cuzco came too, of course, to show the little squirt how a proper packgoat does things. Pac-Man started off … Continue reading Pac-Man’s First Hike
When it rains, it POURS! It has been WAY the heck too exciting around here these past couple of weeks, and here is the latest bit of drama: Everybody look out! Pac-Man is here! We found this little guy on Craigslist yesterday. We were looking for Alpine does (we still miss Nibbles and want more … Continue reading Enter Pac-Man!
After a restful night and a hot breakfast, Phil and I traveled back to The Wedge to rejoin our group. It was a hazy morning at the Little Grand Canyon We all spent a great deal of time admiring the view, but Finn especially liked to get up-close and personal. Finn and Sputnik performed daredevil … Continue reading 8th Annual Hassey “Goat Vacation – Utah: Days 2-3
