Killer Goat AKA Goat from hell!

To give a little background on this story, a week or 2 ago I had gone for a run in the morning and Jayson was up with Hudson. As I came down our street on the last part of my run this big dog came out of no where and started barking. I freaked out and started sprinting (which is NOT as fast as I once was haha, this was my first "run" since having Hudson) and called Jayson on my phone. He came running out of the house and said he couldn't even see the dog. I turned around and the dog had stopped running a ways back. haha, I felt so dumb for being freaked out, but this dog was pretty big. So after that I told Jayson I was not going to be going outside for awhile. THEN, today I figured, I had been inside all day, it was SO beautiful, so I got Hudson all bundled up to go for a walk. So, our walk went so well, until we got back to our front yard. This goat was behind my car where I couldn't see him and when I walked in front of it to get in through our gate he butted me right in the leg!! I yelled and freaked out and kicked it right in the head. It ran off like 15 feet so I ran inside our yard and shut the gate. And then I speed walked to our front door and that stupid goat ran through our fence! I grabbed Hudson and ran inside and slammed the door. Then I hear a thump on the door, that stupid goat was butting my door! Then he put his front hooves up on the door and was almost "standing" on the door. I was totally freaked out. At this point I realize my phone is still in the stroller. I am crying, thinking "this freakin goat is trying to get in my house!" Well, I go and grab the BB gun, and at this point the goat has moved away from the door and is just in the yard. So I shoot it right in the butt and all it does is run at the door again, so I shut it quick and it starts butting the door! I sit in front of the door because I am not sure what else to do, and the handle starts shaking. THAT DANG GOAT has figured out how to put its head on the handle and it looks like it is trying to open my front door! At this point I am in disbelief. The goat then tries to get back out of the yard, but can't. So it ran in the back yard and I figured I had to get my phone quick. I grab the phone and here it comes around the house running. So I run back inside and shut the door. Here it goes again butting the door. Again, I'm in disbelief. I call Jayson in hysterics not sure what to do. He says he is going to call the police, but who knows how long that could take them to come here in town...So I call my rescuing mother in law :) Jeanie runs down with some ammonia and a golf club and sprays it and hits it. But that tough bugger wasn't really scared of either of us. haha, it was a crazy goat. I'm sad now that I didn't get it on film or that I didn't get a picture. So, I'm going to have to invest in a treadmill because apparently me and the outside do not mix. Thanks to Jeanie for coming to rescue me!
On a better note, Hudson's 4 month appointment was yesterday, he is growing wonderfully. He is in the 25th percentile for his weight at 14 pounds, in the 80th percentile for his heighth at 25 inches. So we have a tall drink of water on his hands. The dr said since he is sitting up so well we can try solids so tonight he had his first taste of organic (of course!) rice cereal. I just let him taste a little and he loved it. So then I added it to his bottle and he sucked it right down. I probably will only let him taste it probably for another few weeks, and then try to get him to eat more of it. I know his little body is still growing and we need to take it slow. He also did so well for his shots. Cried out a little but other than that just all smiles. Then he got a little fussy before bed last night so I gave him a little tylenol and it was great after that. He is my tough boy thats for sure! I love watching him grow and learn so much. Well, I hope no one else was attcked by any crazed farm animals today haha, and I hope everyone has a wonderful week. AND HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY tomorrow and happy 13th birthday to my little brother Bennihanna! We love you Ben! And a little shout out to my baba who works so hard for our family, and it sucks with him being out of town but I am so grateful for our eternal relationship and the wonderful husband he is. Love you baba!
