Pizza on the Porch

Brad and Conner drew a chalk pizza on the porch. A big one with lots of pepperoni. I was kind of annoyed as it is on the porch and not on the driveway where rain and such can eventually wash it off. So the next morning I get up to take the kids on their paper route and there is all of these little black pellets all over this pizza. It was really weird and I was a bit worried about what animal left those little pellets. After coming home from doing the papers I kind of examined them a bit closer and decided they reminded me of when we had rabbits when I was growing up, except rabbits have green pellets. I used trusty google and decided that it must be a goat or sheep. Thanks goodness not a rat or mouse or a bat. I couldn't really figure out how that could have happened. Kylee said she heard Zoey barking in the middle of the night. So later that day as I was bringing Kaitlin home from piano lessons and we watched a goat go up Carl's (Jacob's next door neighbor) front steps. I decided it wasn't crazy then to have decided the pellets were goat pellets then, but it was a bit far for the small goat to travel. Then the next week I heard a sharp bark from Zoey in the middle of the day, the kind of bark she use to do at the other house when a squirrel went up one of our trees. So I opened the front door and their was the goat! It ran off with Zoey chasing it. Then last Sunday when we came home from church the goat was on the Moon's porch with Zoey barking at it from the outside and Roxie barking at it from the inside. As we drove up the goat ran off towards Carl's house with Zoey in hot pursuit, but she is too slow. I teased Brad and Conner for making such delicious pizza on our porch as it attracted a goat and we all know they will eat anything, perhaps even chalk pizza's.

P.S. I wanted to call the title Poop on the Porch - but didn't want to be so gross from the get-go.
