Goat survives 50 foot plunge!

This is my rotten little goat - Cinnamon. She is a Nigerian Dwarf Goat, and so is probably a lot shorter, but almost as heavy, as the goat in the story today. Given what I know about my onery little beast, I wish I could have watched as the deputies in Hilton Head chased this goat all over the bridge.

Just how determined these critters can be to do what THEY want to do, which is whatever you probably DON’T want them to do was probably quite obvious to the poor rescuers when this goat lept off the Charles Fraser bridge. Fortunately, she wasn’t injured by the fall. One of the firemen had to be rescued from the mud though!

We finally got a little rain this week, so there are a few plants starting to show green out there in my favorite little patch of desert. My goat, Sweet Pea (Cinnamon’s mother) was running laps around their pen yesterday. This is her way of saying “You can either stake me out to graze on that fresh green stuff, or I can find my own way out of this pen…”. I better get off this computer and go do some proper ranch work today!
