Oh where, Oh Where Has My Gerdie Gone?

....Goodbye Gerdie....

So last week our little goat friend Gerdie disappeared. While Chris and I were at Sun Valley she came up missing. We are heart broken. How can someone get so attached to a goat? Well I did and I think Coy did too. We spent all of last week looking for her, calling neighbors and even calling the county sheriffs department. But she is no where to be found.
She was such a fun part of our little house hold. She made me laugh and was a great companion to our golden retriever Buddy. I loved the fact that she had quite the personality. She loved to come with me and the dogs. Some of my best memories with her are of last summer when we found out that she loved to go with me horseback riding. I had a little posse', between my two dogs, the goat and my cats. I was never lonely. I even loved our little walks, even though I got the strangest looks from people passing us.
Come on, who hasn't seen a goat on a dog leash?
I loved that I never had to clean up paper off of my lawn, she ate it before I could pick it up. I loved that she loved to eat everything. Some of her favorites were malted milk balls like whoppers, McDonald's french fries and grapes, in fact, she would climb up your leg, just to get the goodies in your hand. I love how she greeted you with her tongue hanging out and snorting. I love the fact that she would eat my weeds around my house…She was my little black vaccum…

I will miss her greatly, and I hope by some miracle, she comes back to us.
