she got dog piled by the kids. She was limp when I got ahold of her

Oh gosh, that’s so scary! Is she hurt or just stressed?

What the h*ll! How old are these kids? Why no supervision. I would be doing some yelling.

the kids jumped on her ?

Yes 2 boys that are maybe 8-9?

I hope she is ok Alley. Pretty sure I would be pizzed too.

I was livid. I’ve calmed down a little bit.
I’m hoping too.

They are Pygmy/Nigerian. But mostly Nigerian. Fleur, the one that was dog piled is pretty petite.

not sure 100%. She’s up and eating some hay but not moving much. I’m worried about her.

There were like 5 or 6 kids. Their mom sent them down to see the goats after my mom invited them down. I was eating when she yelled for me (I hadn’t ate since 8am and yeah working outside with only water break really had me done in.)
It happened fast. They rushed in the pen and ran at them. They got spooked. I’ve been trying to work with them this week to tame them, because they are wild! I just had the one eating out of my hand this morning and now not only are they set back but potentially hurt as well.

I almost cussed out loud. I mouthed WTFH!? at my mom and glared at her. I almost lost my you know what on everyone.

She got a stern (ok really loud aggressive) talk after they left. I told her if she ever pulls a stunt like that after I told her no that it would be really bad.

I literally have nothing on hand. I held water and food off because I knew they’d suck it down and could cause more bad things. They are calm now so I’ve been checking on them every few minutes.
