A Goat's Tale: Goats For Dummies
By: M14Mouse
Summary: Theo learns about goats and he isn't too happy about it.
Disclaimer: Don't own them…but I claim the goat.
Theo was sitting next to the goat.
The goat was pretty content on sitting next to him and nibbling on some nearby grass.
Damn stalker goat.
You are thinking of getting a goat.
No, he isn't. He did no such thing. He didn't want a goat or own a goat. The damn thing followed him!
First off, there are many types of goat.
Gee…you think. He just wanted to know what he had sitting next to him. He flipped through the pages in the book. By the spirits, there were so many! He finally found one that looked like the one sitting close to it. He held the book to the goat and tilted his head.
"So, you are either dwarf pygmy goat or just a plain pygmy goat…like I can tell the difference."
He eyed the goat carefully. The goat was small. Its fur was black and white. He could almost hear Fran and Lily squeeing in his ears saying that the goat is so cute!
It was absolutely adorable. He rolled his eyes as he went back to reading.
Goats are herd animals.
He looked over at the goat.
"Where is the rest of your herd? Should I put up missing goat signs or something?"
The goat just wagged its tail.
He snorted and returned to the book.
They prefer company of others weather it is other goats or humans. They don't do well without the company of their own.
"You are breaking the rules."
Then a horrible thought hit him.
"You better not have brought friends. One of you is enough!"
The goat was giving him a damn innocent look. It wasn't fooling him one bit.
"Your innocence act isn't fooling me. I know that you are thinking up something evil in that little goat brain of yours."
He returned his attention to the book.
Goats are intelligent and mischief creatures.
"I don't know about the whole being smart thing. You did follow me for no reason. But you eat something that doesn't belong to you. You are a dead goat. Got it?"
The goat laid his head on the ground and stared at him.
Damn it, he was talking to damn thing now.
"For shelters, they prefer open and dry. It is suggested that three sided shelter with drying bedding. I am not building you a thing. You aren't going to be one of those little dogs that get carried around in those bags."
The goat just stared at him.
"You seemed to be a picky eater…according to the book. By the spirits, how in the world am I supposed to feed you? Goat feed?" He said with a huff.
He eyed the goat again and shut the book.
"I guess that I am going to check out the nearby farms. If I found around here, I am going to call RJ. Maybe, he knows a vet…possible a farmer who can take you in."
The goat just blahed at him. He sighed softly.
Why is his life so damn complex?
