They were being kept in a tiny urban backyard and the local authorities gave their owners a deadline to disperse of their tiny herd of two. I had to make a solemn promise to the owner that I wasn't going to eat them, and they rode the hour drive back home up the highway in the back of my Ford Explorer. Maddie was a fiesty Boer goat and would love to sneak up behind you and give you a quick butt to the back of the knees, then would trot off very pleased with herself. I have so many photos of her smiling, some even showing her teeth in a full cheesy grin, but this is one of my favorites showing her sweetest smile (trying to lure me in for more headbutts). She was in her glory living the country life with us here in Skippack and quickly became best friends with my OTTB Veto," saidFriel-Patton,
