The old goat is tamed... I shampooed the smelly brush 3 times, left it hanging outdoors for dead for a couple of days, re-shampooed and soaked it for an hour before re-hanging outdoors again on the meat pole. Now the thing only has a waft of stink and it may be usable in the morning. (My dog keeps trying to lift its leg on it...) But anyway, if not cured, the beast (brush not dog) goes back out to the goat pen!
