Quixote Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Not a joke thread, just a bit of a dump. Found my pet goat ripped open by coyotes this morning. Been trying to get a mule or something on property as a protector critter, but the various rescue deals kept falling through. Should have just bought one Funny how we are about pets. Heck, I've eaten goat. But she was an affectionate critter, if a bit of a pain in the rear (invariably would escape the property at least once a week and I'd find her on the driveway, bleating for her meal ticket. I dunno. We love who and what we love, I guess. Really didn't need to see her carcass, but took care of what needed taking care of. It's what we do.

Justin Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 We sure do. And more loss is exactly that: even more loss. So sorry to read about your pet; I hope that you can at least have some rest and peace this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quixote Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Thanks all. Yeah, deaths of pets always give me flashbacks (had to put a horse down earlier this year, too). Not fun, but we press on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoVerySad Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I'm so sorry for the loss of your pet. Goats are adorable, so I can see how you would become very attached to her. I wish I could give you a hug in person, but hopefully virtual ones might help a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sojourner Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Awww, man -that's just terrible! I had a couple alpacas & goats until recently (sadly, had to re-home them as I'm planning a move where they can't go). Goats in particular have great personalities. I was really attached to mine- finding it like that would be horrible. It was hard enough finding two of my pet laying hens killed- heads gone. I found one dead in the coup so I reinforced the housing. Came out next morning to find the second casualty! I about lost it. Ironically, it turned out I trapped the killer- a raccoon- *inside* the coup hiding in the rafters when I did my reinforcing! :-[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
