Jul. 3, 2008 - The Goat in the Backyard
So a couple weeks ago I was awakened by a goat in our backyard. I got out of bed to see where it was, but couldn't see anything. Still, every so often I would hear clear as a bell that famous goaty "ehh" sound. We went camping after that and the first morning back I heard it again. I layed there and listened to it, and noticed that as our neighbors roosters would crow, the goat would often follow suit. Ding! The light went on and I realized that it was not a goat at all, but one of our roosters trying to figure out how to crow. We haven't decided which one is doing it, but whichever one it is, obviously, is severely impaired. Can it hear itself? For the love of Pete!
So until this thing figures out how to sound like a bird, I will be awakened by the sound of the stray goat every morning.
