The Goats

"Kate, your goats are bothering us."

"Kate, your goat is so angry all the time."

"Kate, your goats are so friendly and used to people."

"Don't worry Kate, I won't let your goats escape."

"Kate, your goats are going to get into the garden."

"Kate, your goat and I were just fighting the other day."

"Kate, we haven't seen much of your goats these days."

My goats are keeping me busy. They keep wandering away from where they are supposed to be, sometimes even threatening to leave the hospital altogether. Even though they have 17 acres to roam in, they don’t seem content. Ramsey got out one day and even crossed the road, and I had to run and get him back, before Nina would follow. Ramsey is so used to me he will never run from me, but Nina is a different story. Once she leaves the hospital I will never get her back. I am especially attentive because she will be having a baby soon and I do not want to lose her and the baby to the town of Impfondo.
