Complete the morning period with large quantities of cold beer and a shot or two of tequila.

Perhaps a rival gang of Cholo sheep, fighting a turf war???

On a semi-serious note: Did no one catch the irony of the enhanced police concern regarding the killing of a goat in a mid-town neighborhhod, but none over actually RAISING said goat in a mid-town neighborhood?

It's a New Mexico thing! Kill a person you will get parole. Kill a goat and it's a death sentence!!

In tribute to the goat, I tearfully submit:

They sure do and my two pygmy goats are adorable pets. I trained mine with oatmeal. They love grain, but it’s not good for them in large amounts. Anyway, someone shoots at them and I’m thinking they were actually aiming at me so game on.

My sister kept goats for a long time. They do have character and personality, don’t they? And to keep a piece of otherwise undeveloped land somewhat groomed, it’s the only way to go.
