Work Ethic



We've been hauling all the cedar posts down the the clearing to set later when friends come with an auger. Albert can pull down two horizantals and two verticals, Push can take the corner/hings posts one at a time. We switch them out after about 4 loads each, let them eat.

Of course, at some point, us being gentlemen farmers and not the real thing by any means, we have to stop for coffee, so Marq and I come inside. I'm greeted by disgruntled "MEEEEEHHEHEHEHEHEH!!" through the front door. This is what I find when I open it - a goat and moo, both rather impatient and ready to work again, please!

Albert is wound up, wants to run with his loads, took off once with the singletree flopping behind him across the clearing (note: work more on wait there command), but he did come when I called him, so it wasn't a complete loss, and he happily went back to work. He's not an easy animal, and geez, I wouldn't wish him on a beginner trainer, for sure, but he's so much fun and will be a great animal when he grows up.
