Old Wives Tale?


Have you ever heard that a goat will eat anything? Ever wonder if that's really true? Well, yesterday our goat Ferdie bit off the end of Alex's T-Rex toy. Since the toy was rubber, he just sat there and chewed it like bubble gum. Yummy. Last week I caught him nibbling on a strand of Christmas lights we left hanging on the back deck. I shooed him away and then noticed he was chewing on something crunchy. I checked the strand and sure enough- he was enjoying a delicious, mouth watering light bulb. I tried to get it away from him, but he wouldn't open his mouth. He just stood there and kept right on crunching away until he swallowed the whole thing: glass, wire, and plastic. He seemed unharmed and quite satisfied. There's never a dull moment here at the Hartsburg Funny Farm.
