A goat story

[alpine]

With all the doom and gloom I hope to add a smile with some animal stories
so here is one about a goat
My first grade Alpine goat was my teacher goat... Punky will always have a
special place in my heart and this is one of her stories....

I have a apricot tree up here on the mountain and if the frost doesn't
get it in the spring it has some of the sweetest cots you have ever
tasted... One year it was loaded, Punky and I would race to the tree to
see who would get the apricots first....she loved them as much as I
did...

One morning I woke to find stray range cows in my garden, after penning
them up in my corral, I called the guy who owned them and told him you
better come to get these darn things NOW or I am inviting the whole
mountain to a B-BQ and your cows are the guests of honor...needless to
say we exchanged some sharp words over the phone...While I was waiting
for him Punky and I went out to the Apricot tree to see who could eat
the most...Punky was at my side chowing down and from what I could see
she ate pits and all, or so I thought..

The guy arrived for his cows coming out of his truck yelling and
screaming how he had ranged his cows on this mountain for 40 years and
they can go where they want...I stood for a minute listening and getting
madder and madder at his attitude and was just about ready to retort...
Punky all this time was by my side, when all of a sudden a apricot pit
flew from Punky's mouth and landed on the guys boot..He paused in what
he was saying,looked kind of funny and the started to say something
again and another pit flew from Punky's mouth hitting the guy's boot
again..all of a sudden another and another pit flew and each time she
hit him square on the boot that darn goat was a dead shot with those
pits!!!!!

The guy and I just looked at this crazy goat, then we both started to
laugh. He said "Lady I've seen it all, but I've never seen a Guard Goat
with a mouth full of pits shooting at me. She is a darn Machine
gun!!!!!".Punky had broken the ice,her shooting the pits got us both to
laugh. We are still friends many years later and every time I see him
the first thing he would ask is how is that ol Machine gun goat ? You
know he said, "no one believes me that I got shot with a mouth full of
apricot pits by a goat...She is some goat!!!!!!..
