Practicing for a visit to Switzerland

Prince Tyger was fascinated and delighted to find a small herd of goats during his recent visit to Utah.  Like the carousel donkey, they were just his size!

The goats, in turn, appeared to be just as fascinated by the Tyger.  First, there were two ...

then three ...

then four.  And the group seemed to get along just fine!

The Tyger even enjoyed letting them lick his fingers.

I hope that Prince Tyger realizes that this experience is good practice for visiting his Grandmom in Switzerland.  After all, goats are prized here.  They also feature in one of the Swiss classics, the story of Heidi, a young girl who went to live with her grandfather in the Swiss Alps.  Her grandfather had a herd of goats and Heidi loved to help take care of them!  A young neighbor boy, Peter, was the goatherder and he and Heidi became great friends.

All that the Tyger needs now is a pair of lederhosen!
