What is he and what should I do with him?

honestly it would have served her right, letting her animals get out like that and not comming looking for them for several weeks,

apparently.

I don't know them~ but the reason I did not go to their house when I was asking neighbors about the goat and pigs is because their trailer burned down about a year ago and at that time the neighbors were....less than charitable ...in their descriptions of the family that lived there. Kind of scary actually. I didn't realize they had put another trailer up a little further back off the road and were living there again. When the husband came to pick up the goat he told me the wife had bought him and the pigs at a swap meet a couple days before they showed up at my house and that....and I'm trying to give an exact quote here....I'm pretty sure this is close:

"We was a letting them out of the mornings to eat in the garden and they just wandered off!"

I told him he could keep the collar I put on the goat (he needed it to tie the goat to the flatbed trailer he came to pick the goat up in.....) and I told him he needed to build a proper pen or tie the goat out by that collar when he wanted to let it graze the garden or it would be back to my place.....and I was already calling it Taco and making plans to eat it once I decided it was mine........

yeah that sounds like some of the country bumpkins around here lol, its going to be enteresting to see how long they keep that goat, i bet it gets out again lol

Please make sure to post "Taco Baby" pics. And in honor of daddy I think you should stick with the mexican food theme when naming them! He sure was pretty looking!

My suggestions:

taquitos
burrito
enchilada

And Cheryl's doe will be forever dreaming of that hot young Latino buck, who hung around just long enough to woo her with his soulful brown eyes and firm young body. After she acquiesced to his charm, he disappeared into the night, leaving her with nothing but fond memories of their assignation... Oh yeah and those screaming brat kids that will never leave her alone! :smiley-laughing013:

LOL!!!
I hadn't thought of it like that! Lol!!

*rofl* So we have 5 months until we can expect heart-warming pix of Chalupa, Gordita, and Tamale?

What will be funny is to see this thread updated in a week as to how Taco is back and going into the soup pot as his kids are still little buns in the oven.

I find it pretty sad when I hear of dumb rednecks like that buying any animal or having children - ugh!

Taco's owner (coming up driveway again): "Have you seen my goat?"
Cheryl (taking a bite of Taco enchilada, chewing and swallowing thoughtfully): "Nope, not for a while."

LOL!

Haven't seen him yet! And get this~ the day the man came and picked Taco up he asked me if I wanted my gravel driveway scraped if he could get his tractor running. I said that would be great and that I'd pay him to do it. He insisted he didn't want to be paid and left. I kind of figured I wouldn't see him again unless Taco came back. I mean~ the way the neighbors spoke of them I was sort of surprised they were sober enough to drive down my driveway. But it just goes to show you should go to the effort to form your own opinions rather than just listen to what the neighbors say...I haven't seen him or his goat...but my driveway is scraped! I don't know when he did it~ but most of my driveway is scraped. I'm guessing his tractor didn't do as good as he hoped as it's only done down to the curve in the drive...But I'm still real happy to have that done!

How nice of him! That's cool, Cheryl!

You're right about waiting to form your own opinions. *chuckles* I have first hand experience of THAT! We tend to be more than a bit like hermits, and one lady who stopped to buy eggs from us was surprised that we were sober. She was even more surprised when I told her that we have a family of teetotalers for the most part, that we unbend enough to have some wine at Christmas and Easter.

~chuckles~ I guess the fact that we don't socialize much locally means we're open season for whatever our small town population can imagine we are like.

Yep, same for us. We don't really socialize with anyone in our little town either. Who knows what they are saying about us. We are probably refered to as the crazy hermit-like people that keep goats in their back yard.
