I Heart Goats

Goats are a new found love of mine. I never really thought much about goats before I came to Bangladesh. I never had any interactions with them, but here in Dhaka...I see goats everywhere! When I go to the market they are frequently tied up for slaughter,  in preparation, for holidays like Eid. I also see many goats occupying the "free range" status...hanging out in streets eating grass or trash. In addition to Dhaka, I have seen a variety of goats during my holiday travels in Nepal, Indonesia, India, Thailand, Norway, Ireland and Ghana. The goats are all so very different. I have grown, over the past year, to just love goats. Plus, they are hilarious. The more time I spend around them, the more I get to know them. Hilarious because they have such personalities, especially seen, and enjoyed, when they are in a group. I visited a goat farm  this summer in Townshend, VT and was able to see their little personalities as they spent time in their small families of 3-4 goats. They each were so different, yet so neat. One thing they all had in common, was that they were so snuggly and lovely. When I think of goats I think of this- horned, hopping, head-butting, hugging, and humble creatures, and plus...have you seen their rectangular pupils and felt their warm, care-free spirits! What's not to love....

"Excuse me? Can we snuggle a bit? I've made room for you right here..." whispered softly into a human's ear.

"You don't mind do you? Of course you don't. I feel you. I know you love me. This is Vermont after all. We spread peace and love
...Take your picture, and don't you worry about me, I got this! There is plenty of grass to go around for everyone..." spoken wisely, from a white goat eating cotton (at least it's organic...I hear goats like organic. No wonder we are connected)

"Excuse me. You are sitting on my lunch." murmured the goat.
"I'm not sitting on anything but grass" said the human
"Exactly my point" confirmed the goat.
"Oh. Sorry about that. I'll move" spoke the human apologetically.
The human moved over.
"Excuse me. That is my friend's lunch you are sitting on" said the now angry goat.
"Sorry again" said the human.
"If you want to sit down, please sit down outside the gate" said the patient goat. 
"Oh ok. I'll come back later I guess" said the confused human.
"Just remember not to sit down when you come inside. We like to eat lunch all day" sighed the hungry goat.
