Yesterday Adam's dad went over the house to get some work done on the fencing before Adam came home. And this went well for awhile, until he turned to pick up a tool, looked up and was met by three pairs of yak eyes staring at him from the other side of the green corral.
Yaks outside = bad
Yaks outside the barn but still inside the corral = less bad,still not good
How on earth did the yaks GET outside the barn?!
Somehow the door from their enclosure to the outside get open. Whether it blew open or Vorenus has learned to open doors, we're not sure. I'm hoping it's the wind. That's a little less nerve racking.
At any rate, at some point yesterday afternoon, Vorenus, Octavia and Niobe meandered out of the barn, into the corral (which was thankfully finished and secured) and milled about for a few hours before meandering back into the barn. We weren't planning on having them out until this weekend, when we could be around to make sure everything went ok, but apparently the yaks had other plans.
The yaks are back inside the barn (with the door tied shut) and other than scaring Adam's dad and our heating guy, everybody seems to be ok. Except for Adam, who is now having nightmares of working on fencing with yaks breathing down the back of his neck.
