Who's got your goat?

Hello from Louisiana. Jim & I are at our daughter's for Thanksgiving. Good thing we made it too! Saw the remains of a big accident on I-10 near Lake Charles this morning that resulted in a 10 mile parking lot on the highway...thankfully going the other way! Then a few hours later another big accident that we saw in our rear view mirror...missed it by THAT much!

Checking my email a few minutes ago I find true excitement happening back at Sandpiper's. Here is the email from SueP.

Well, no sooner do you guys leave than we have our first bit of excitement. Relive with me
the manic chase that took place across the park.

Too bad I didn't get my camera until the critters had already been put under control. Jay (or somebody) lassoed the smaller of the two and the big billy just followed like a lamb.Back story: John comes in early from water volleyball (around one-ish) and screams at me to get a broom and jump on my golf cart and follow him. He needs me to help corral some goats that have gotten into SPR via unknown means. (He had been playing wvb when someone noticed the 4-legged potential players on the lawn outside the pool.)
I follow him to the 400 row, then east to the 30-40 row where people are closing in on the two billygoats. They showed no fear of humans but simply moved away when approached.

Curiously, they didn't fear Tony and Sherry's rottweilers, but chose to sit opposite the black wrought iron fence from the snarling, barking dogs rather than allow themselves to be caught by bumbling humans. By this time we have waaaay more people in on the chase.

Yves shows up with a lasso and proceeds to stalk the goats along the north fence toward the west. He found out how slippery those little guys can be. It's around then that I flew back to the mobile to get the camera. When I returned they(Jay, critters, and a host of bit players in the drama) were on their way down the 300 row heading south. Joe (Joy) also took some pics, which he emailed to me to include in my email to you.

Having escorted the parade to the fence I took a few parting pics. To the best of my knowledge the goats were simply released outside on the road and encouraged to "scram" if they knew what was good for them. That's all the story I know - but I'm sure others have facts to add in response to your story. Dakota Bill told Jay we should let the goats in whenever they feellike visiting. Rounding them up could be another park activity ;-)

We'll try to keep things "normal" while you're gone but there's no guarantee!
