Are you ever surprised by animal behavior?
Funny you should ask, Maggie. Yesterday morning, on the way out to feed the dogs, I found I had a suicidal goat...
It is one of those situations where you can just tell all your plans for the day are about to be undone.
Instead of fruitful and enjoyable activities, hours were about to be wasted in either treating personal injury or aggravating roof repairs.
However, Maggie, you can use the newfound powers of "Hope" and "Change", which is exactly what I did.
What DO you do when you find a goat on your barn roof?
Well obviously the first thing I did was grab the camera.
And then I "wished"....and I mean deeply and sincerely "wished" the damn thing would backtrack to where the adventure began, and get off my doggone roof.
This prayerful yearning for correcting the situation can NOT be done in a half assed manner, Maggie, and while it is not foolproof, it does take care of a lot of foolish situations you find yourself in.
So, I "hoped" it stayed away from a weak spot in the tin, and made a resolution to "change" the location of the three round bales on the side of the barn, which allowed the goatcrobatics to happen in the first place.
Have you any Hopeful or Change stories since Obamaday?
