B.C. Couple Returns Home from Holiday to Find a Goat Had Moved In
A Prince George couple was astonished to see somebody had moved into their home while on vacation in Mexico — a goat.
Jon Blanchard and his wife Tanya Mould landed in Edmonton and drove through the night, lastly arriving residence at about 9 a.m. on March 23.
His wife went to grab something on the belongings when she heard a noise. Understanding they weren’t alone, she shouted for her husband.
“She was like, ‘Oh my God, something just licked the window,” Blanchard recalls.
Mould courageously opened the door and the culprit appeared.
“I was just sitting here on the couch calming,” says Blanchard. “And she goes, ‘Johnny, there’s a goat out there!’”
The couple discovered not only a goat but that it had moved in and made a very big confusion.
“It knocked over golf clubs, knocked over tables, knocked over Christmas decorations, knocked over tools, and then it wacked and peed ubiquitously,” he says. “It was its house.”
Not sure what to do, the pair posted on social media hoping somebody’s goat got loose. But no one came forward.
“It’s a strange problem to have,” he tells Glacier Media.
Even after opening the door to let the goat run free, it stayed put. The couple named the goat Gordo and even found it some food. After two days, they obvious to look for help to eliminate it.
“He’s at a goat sanctuary,” says Blanchard. “He’s gone to an individual who has a goat farm that keeps goats as pets and apparently he fits right in. Loves it.”
Blanchard hopes this was the first and last goat visit.
“I think he actually likes the sanctuary and it’s fairly a ways for us,” he says.
