Oh goodness, that is funny! I laughed so hard. It reminds me of going
through the McDonalds drivethru with one of our goats too! The lady who was
giving us our order put everything on hold and started yelling... "A Goat, A
Goat" She had several costomers up to the window looking out and the whole
staff was trying to see us through that little drive thru window! It was
hillarious. I never knew goats were that unusual to see going thru drive
thrus! Goats on the front seat of your truck with you...is it that
unusual??? LOL. Julie
