Product Review: Goat (Buttercup)
Model: 2017 LaMancha
We've had this unit for 9 years and, overall, she's been fantastic. Relatively low maintenance, very affectionate, and surprisingly durable. We did have an issue early on when she broke a leg, but that was an easy fix.
Recently, though, she's developed a minor software glitch.
She'll occasionally freeze mid-task like someone hit the pause button. Today's glitch: she climbed into a bucket, took one perfectly good mouthful of hay and just froze.
No chewing. No swallowing. Just staring into the distance while slowly looking left, then right, still holding the same mouthful of hay like she's buffering.
A gentle reboot (calling her name) usually restores normal function, but it may take up to a minute or two. If you have one of these units, don't panic. Just be patient and try to reboot.
Would still recommend this unit. Just wish the manufacturer would release a software update.
4/5 stars
