Goats?




Saturday night we walked out of the house to go to our neighbors haunted house and there were goats in our driveway. I turned around and started to walk back in the house and they followed me. In fact they tried to come in the house with me. I opened the door a crack and started calling for Andy to come help me keep the goats out of the house, and he kept yelling back "what?" finally he came and saw and realized he heard right, THERE WERE GOATS TRYING TO PRY THEIR WAY INTO OUR HOME! He grabbed the camera and took a picture, then closed the door. We had to recruit some neighbor kids help to get the goats off the porch and away from the candy box that I keep there. A neighbor called animal control and they told us that the goats will probably find their way home so just leave them alone, but the goats were eating peoples Halloween decorations and hanging out on peoples porches. Our neighbor then called the police department and it took them an hour and a half to finally show up (and when they did they had their lights on like it was an emergency). The kids were sad to see the goats go. The goats were really friendly and the kids would pet them. The goats hung around the crowd that was waiting for the haunted house, and it gave us something to do while we waited for our turn.
