Route 144 . Dress casual
If you need a tool, maybe a couple hand towels? A cape? Some people use a long branch like a pine bough. I found I need both a left and right side and to quickly use both or either, so now just use my hands. I put my hands out low and out to the side, spread my fingers and sort of do “jazz hands” quickly flipping my hands along the axis of my wrist.

Last night they were all 10 crammed not the smaller crateUnless you can pile them up way into the ceiling rafters snug against the ceiling….
You realize this echoes the fan?
I’m doing this for you
Also my voice and words, they know my intention then. Like they will crowd the run door if I approach, and I let them know if I’m letting them out or if they need to move back so I can get through (sometimes a wiggling hand is reinforcement on that).If you need a tool, maybe a couple hand towels?

They know that move, even just a quick wiggle - as opposed to a steady slow reach for something near them, where they stay put - and I herd them that way. Unless they’re really recalcitrant it works. (Butters kept trying to make a big circle back to where she really wanted to go just the other day. I eventually herded her to nest a wall and picked her up. It wasn’t hard, because she realized she couldn’t convince me to let her go where she wanted and just stopped moving
It’s so nice seeing her running around again.
I think they have 5 babies

Do goats count for Pony Sunday?
I have a really great branch. It has a nice gentle curve and some smaller branches off it and is long and light enough for me to use.If you need a tool, maybe a couple hand towels? A cape?
