RIP-The tree killer!!!

Our poor old ugly billy goat has died and gone to goat heaven. I never really liked the fella, but when he died I was actually a little sad since it was kind of unexpected. He had a wonderful life. No male competition, loved the ladies, and had an endless supply of food. He used the bathroom wherever he felt the urge and banged his head up against any tree strong enough to withstand the beating. He did kill some pine trees that I loved. Oh yeah he killed my apple and peach trees I planted last year. I guess I don't miss him that much. Now I am getting angry thinking about those trees. I will have to say watching him get his horns between Bryan's legs and watching Bryan jump around was the one of the funniest things I will remember about him. Now I don't have to watch the kids when they get in the goat pen. When before I always had to keep my eye on that goat because he would unexpectedly butt you. I guess he will be replaced. He does have a son that will carry on his legacy, but that will be 2 years before he is ready. So I guess we will have to go find another. Hopefully the next one won't be such a tree killer.
