The Goat Tagging Incident of 2009


My status updates warn not to leave your goats unattended. It's not that I have a personal vendetta against the smallish 4 legged farm animals. Admitally not my favorite, but far from my least favorite. The choice of animal has really nothing to do with the incident that ensued.

Our neighbor and my husband's childhood friend lives down the road (that's country speak for 8 miles away) and he had it coming. We got the word that he and his wife would be out of town and those of us that needed to get him back and/or just wanted to have fun loaded up in the truck with ropes, spray paint, and boones farm wine. I know, the boones farm wine put us well over the limits of red neck. However, if you know what boones farm wine is, you're our kind of people...a little red neck too. So our neighbors were gone, we had a mission to tag his goats.

This was my first goat roping experience...them buggers are like catching deer! Yet we were able to do it. Laughing at our own jokes was the biggest hurdle in the whole deal. We managed to gather a crowd...a few turned off the road to see what was going on and unknown to us our Preacher had watched the whole thing from across the road!

I love prank retaliation! Maybe next time he will think before he lets a racoon freeze to the top of my wedding cake!
