Gretta failed her guard duty

Gretta let me down Some of you may remember the Johova Witness fiasco here. I copied the links if your interested...
Ha ha ha I can't stop laughing!
Ohhh KimM.......

Well another strange car pulled into the driveway...goats were out so I thought here we go again. It was a guy selling those aerial photos of your property. He comes to the door, Gretta is there immediately. Starts in with the shpeel and I'm saying "no-not interested" "look out for the goat!" "you should call first" he says...I don't know your number. I said "you better go...my, my my goat will attack you!!!" We both turn to look at Gretta standing right there...looking at us...munching on a piece of grass.
Nothing!!! What the heck !? Take him down Gretta!! nothing
I say "go away!" and he leaves. >sigh< I hope he doesn't come back. If he does, the dogs will be let loose.
This is the FIRST time she didn't attack a stranger in 3 years....

Maybe he smelled like cookies?

Don't you live in the country? No one comes out here selling or preaching anything. But the again I am "off road", and happy about it.

Oh once -been here almost 9 years- I did have a guy selling steaks, he did not leave the car due to my dog My neigbor looks for lost dogs did not either because of Chubby. UPS comes often and loves him, FedEx less often and is terrified of him. That works for me.

LOL! I live in NOODLE, population 11 houses, 4 of which are empty. Closest business is a gas station about 19 miles away....and we got the meat selling dude & a Johova Witness once!!! Couldn't believe he biked all the way out here...until he was bugging the neighbor a few days later and I saw him putting his bike in the back of a suburban that was parked behind the now closed, Noodle Church of Christ

And I'm LOL at the thought of an attack goat!!!

You need a "Beware Of Goat" sign. Maybe that'll keep them from getting out of the car in the first place. LOL

Ahh! Yesterday I kept getting a timed out error when I clicked on them. Got them this morning.

Too hilarious!!! The story about her with the tie though?

I need a goat like that here!

You need a buck pen that all uninvited visitors have to pass through to get to your door. You can have a seperate,more hidden entrance for yourself and visitors you want.
