I was thinking about my pet goat Aerial from when I was a kid. My dad got her as a present for me. I remember going with him to a friend's farm and the moment i saw her, i fell in love. She was bunting the fence as if it were a live. But it was not.
She used to roam around the yard and climb on my mom's car. My mom would yell at her and she would glare at her, stomp on the car and then poop. She also used to eat her crabapple trees and my mom threatened to send her away. I was very sad.
She was very mischevious. She used to eat my grandma's flowers and my grandma would chase her around her truck tire flower pot with a broom. They ran and ran, in circles around that thing. It was quite hilarious. She used to meet me when i got off of the bus and would walk alongside me home. I would rub her in between her horns and when i stopped, she would bunt me gently not to stop.
One day she headed out to pasture with the cows and she froze to death in the relentless Saskatchewan winter.
She was a good goat and a good friend.
I miss her.
In rememberance of Aerial. (named after the little mermaid)
