In searching for the
Perfect Mate for Timi, it really came down to the fact that the population of
goats in Uruguay
is really rather small. Sheep are everywhere, but goats are few and far
between. There is a goat farm on the other side of the departamento (about an
hour and a half away), and the Handlers did talk briefly about making a road
trip if they had to but they were dreading the thought of such an exponential
rise in blood pressure as they spent an hour plus listening to Timi’s incessant
bleating in the back of the camioneta.
As it turned out,
everyone suggested Diego as he had the best looking billy goat in the departamento.
That is true…he is a handsome fellow but FREAKING huge! The handlers have known
Diego as Diego was so “kind” to make Chochi’s son …Tontin, a wether (an “it”). Tontin’s
endearing personality has kept his physical being in tact instead of making him
into a bedside rug and a month of meals.
