My cuz, I, and her foster black lab Quentin headed out to Hacklebarney on Saturday for some hiking. Quentin is my cousin's mom's boyfriend's dog. Since Quentin's owner is away on business so often, my cousin and her hubby are taking care of him. Quentin is the endless welcome wagon to any person or animal and will happily jump in any person's car or join a new family. We met a couple awesome dogs and their owners on our hike, which happily joined into a friendly dog run-about. The scenery was nice and it was a hike where most trail signs were ignored. By the end of the day though we were wondering where we were in Hacklebarney. We tentatively followed a "parking area this way" sign, but I was beginning to think we may be headed to a parking area on the other side of the park. But we lucked out and we didn't have to double back.
Following our hike, we were all in need for some refreshments. I had a farm in mind but it was sadly closed. So we headed to another local farm, where they have farm animals out and about as well. We were greeted by a large loose goat. I was imaging the goat head butting Quentin, but the goat was only interested in food. We let Quentin meet most of the farm animals. The kids were so cute.

Hacklebarney is one my favorite places in the world. Quentin is adorable. Your descriptive wording in this post is fantastic, I imagined the whole scene with the goats & farm animals. Thank you for sharing such a great day with us!
I guess the friendliness gene is genuine lab. My Fred, is a half black lab/border collie cross, and wants to befriend everyone he meets on the trail. The bad part is he jumps up on people (but not me anymore) -- so I keep him on leash. They're lovely dogs.
Goats! I love goats. Always wanted one as a pet, but that was and still is a pipe dream.
OMG want a goat! Quentin looks like a relative of Addie.
