Red

Hi, my name is Red and I am one happy goat. I wasn’t always so happy, though. I used to live in a place where people were not nice to me so I ran away when I was about three months old. I was glad to be away from the mean people but then I got lost in the city. I was terrified of all the cars zooming by and honking at me and people running after me. I was so scared and hot and thirsty and tired. Finally, after a long time a nice policeman found me running down the road. He took me in his car to a lady who knew my new human mom. The lady asked my new mom if I could live with Louie and Lucy. I was worried that she’d say “No” but she didn’t, she said "Yes!" When I got to the farm I was still very frightened but my mom said “Welcome Home, Red Head” and scratched under my chin and I felt a little better. That was the best day of my whole life. No one tied a rope around my neck anymore and there was plenty of food and water. I couldn’t believe how lucky I was. I knew I would be safe here and that no one would ever hurt me again. We have fans to keep us cool in the summer and my mom makes sure that we always have everything we need. I love it here so much that I am always a very good girl. I never shove to get to the treats and I stand very still for my mom when she trims my hooves. I will never leave my forever home!
