I like the idea of applying pronking to human behavior! (Came over from Claudia's and stayed for the alpacas and your story.) Subscribed. Thank you!

They are such an iconic duo. I have been so delighted to encounter them again as a parent. And Little Bear.

What a wonderful post--and that video! 😍 I need to pronk, pronto! And I love your intentionality and commitment to your pronking year; so inspiring. I've been feeling stuck, and this read has lit me up. Thanks, Kasey!

That pronking video is perhaps the best thing I have seen yet in 2025. My heart! <3

I also relate to that deep inner need for approval. It's so hard to let go of, sometimes.

When they get going together, it's so lovely. The one at the feeder, not joining in, is the mother of the baby in this video and we got a chuckle out of her taking a little break.

I love this and can relate to so much here. I often realize as I'm counselling students: ah, yeah. I need to hear this. And before I was slammed with a health issue in 2023, I posted a pronk every Friday on Facebook because it made me so happy. Time to remember pronking (goats mostly). Thank you.

When we chat with our daugther's teachers, it's amazing how often we all end up nodding like, "oh, this could be therapy right now, working with these tiny humans."

And goats pronking are so funny with those short little legs!

I'm so sorry to hear about the health issues. I hope that you can get more pronking time going forward.

Thank you for reading and for your response!
