Can you send me pictures of the goat? I might have to charge you for a rabies shot if it needs it. Can you hold it for me? Actually instead of email can you text me?

Goats can be domesticated to a point. You can feed, stroke them and whatnot.

....

I'm surprised they didn't come up on the, uh, obvious, and, uh, delicious, solution. Probably better this way.

Especially with the cost of goat meat these days. I know at least one Indian restaurant by me stopped serving it.
