early this morning, i was lying in bed looking at my phone when i heard "meh-eh-eh-eh" outside. i thought "there's no way..." but sure enough, there was a goat outside!
it was a nice large one...tan with black horns. no collar. it was just next to our place, in the middle of the brush.. i got up very quietly and scoped it out through the trees. then i talked to it very quietly and gently. it didn't immediately run away, but it wouldn't let me get closer than 15 feet.
as i approached, it went off through the jungle back towards the road. i went out to the road to see where it had gone, and saw it trotting down the block away from me.
we've had various random animals show up at our place: cats, dogs, and once a rooster. but this was the first goat! i hope it finds its people..
