I'll occasionally go out and see paw prints all over my car. It's the ol' classic "dogs can't run free but cats can" mindset our society has, but no biggee to me. My buggy has so many marks and scratches and dings and such that I don't mind one little bit.
But some people do.
DATELINE: CAPSHAW, ALABAMA
Who doesn't like a Sunday ride in the country? OK, with gas now around $4 a gallon, the idea is somewhat tainted...but you get the idea.
Picture a toasty July Sunday in Alabama...you're out doing your own thing, minding your own business, and definitely not dealing with the normal rush-hour scenario. Certainly not on Highway 72.
I do this. I bet you do, too. You're heading down the road, see an animal front and center, and you apply the brakes to give said 4-legged the opportunity to get out of the way. That's exactly what a woman did as she toodle-looed down the road in her Mercedes.
Nope, no squirrel or groundhog here...rather, it was a goat. Well, a goat and a dog, actually playing together. A tad oblivious to the car, or not scared of it, apparently...and so the good Samaritan pulled her car to a stop to allow the unusual duo to cavort elsewhere off the road.
Some things just come naturally, of course. Goats like to climb. The Mercedes had this cool 2-level thing going on. The goat immediately vaulted onto the hood of the car. What could be more natural?
Except that the woman freaked out and called the Limeston County Sherrif's department. Sherrif Mike Blakely explained the woman was frantic that her paint job and sheet metal would be marred if she forced the goat off...after all of her pleading, the goat simply looked at her, bleated, and refused to get off the car.
And so a deputy arrived forthwith, apprehended the goat, put it in his patrol car officially under arrest...and to complete this strange scenario, the dog immediately jumped through the open cruiser window to join the goat.
And the moral to this story?
Oh, puh-leeze...it's just a weird story, perfect for "Fried Fridays"...
have a good 'un, all y'all!!!
But some people do.
