A really fast goat


Most mornings, the goat boys, Pete and Reggie, accompany me from their goat house up to the barn:

It has become part of their daily routine, much like jumping on the hay and straw bales, teasing the llamas, and chasing me around for carrot coins has. At the end of our barn session, we turn off the barn light and start our slow walk back to the goat house. We always go as a trio, with the boys stopping to eat salal, blackberries and brush along the way.

Recently, however, Pete....

has decided that he's got some place important to be and leaves us in the dust:

Wow.

What's got him in such a hurry?

  1. Obviously he hears Peanuts calling him. I can hear them. Can't you?

  2. I'm reminded of that noise cartoon characters make when they take off and leave a whoosh of dust behind and nothing else.

  5. Wow. That *is* a really fast goat! What the heck? Hes on a mission, thats for sure. :-)
    And did you see all the other critters? They are like, whats gotten into him.....clearly not concerned enough to stop eating....
    I love seeing his little back feet go up in the air like that.
    Okay, I gotta watch it again now.

  6. That is so funny, the way everybody else watches him go, and then they all look at you, and then go back to eating. Sort of the "What's his problem?" look. Very cute!

  13. I think your goats just like to kick it up and run. It's so cute.
    What's really funny is how the donkeys and Llamas react. Like...,
    "What the matter with those goats? and then they go right back to eating. That's funny...

  14. I think you may have missed your calling. Your videos are hilarious, and a great way to wake up in the morning.

  15. Ohmygosh. That is too funny! And over on the side, did Reggie give that same little kick before he took off? The llamas and donks look so bewildered by that behavior!

    I don't think I've ever seen a faster goat.
