Bailey’s Story…
Bailey came to us in July 2024 from a charity that runs alternative education programmes for children with special educational needs. Animals and children, learning from each other in a calm, supportive setting. It’s a lovely idea, and it works beautifully for a lot of animals.
It did not work for Bailey.
Bailey, it turned out, was not a fan of children. Not the noisy ones, not the quiet ones, not the ones offering treats. Just, broadly, children. So it was decided he might be happier somewhere with a strict no-children policy, and he came to live with us. You have never seen a goat look more relieved.
Settling in took him about a week. Taking over took about a day. Bailey didn’t campaign for the job of leader, he simply started behaving as though the job was his, and the rest of the gang went along with it. Snowey is still, frankly, processing this.
His signature move is the lean. He’ll come over, press his full weight against your leg, and gaze up at you with enormous, soulful eyes. It looks like pure affection.
It is, in fact, a transaction. The treats must arrive first, before anyone else gets theirs.
This is non-negotiable.
But once the treats are sorted, he’s genuinely loving, and happy to stand with you for as long as you’ve got.
