Stolen Goat Appeal

[Albannach]

If something gets stolen in the countryside, it's generally assumed to have been pikeys

Assumed? Ah, now I see.

Just looked up the meaning on Wikipedia (so it must be true). Generally it seems to be caravan dwellers that get called Pikeys, so; it's fair to 'asume' there are a few part time Pikeys on here then?

Maverick, I hope you get her back safely.

Maverick, I hope you get her back safely.

Quite, I'm not normally one for going back on topic, but I hope you find her Duane.

And Smego, grow up mate, that's someone's pet.

How do you know it was whoever you refer to as a 'Pikey' that stole it?

Because they prey on people who live in the countryside. They will steel your dog then call you a few days later and tell you have found it and offer it back for a price of course. They will steel anything that you own if they think they can sell it. Horses, ponies, goats, dogs, cats, vehicles, garden tools, caravans and your mum. If they can sell it they will nick it. I have lived in the country for 20 yrs I know.

hope you get it back, why would anyone want to steal an elderly goat? I mean honestly, these people are what bullets were designed for

Hope you don't mind me asking mate, but what the hell is your avatar picture? I puzzle over it every time I see it. It looks like a puppet with a javelin stuck in it!

Good news.
After a second delivery of flyers round the area, she was left in our front garden 4pm today. She has passed the vet check with a little bit of crackling on her left lung, and a slight nasal discharge, so the vets given us a course of injections for her.
So not long and I'll be chasing her round the garden because she's picked up a part I'm working on, and is trying to find a way of swallowing it (she does have character).

Thanks for your support, and who ever jested over eating her, I'd like to see you try chewing 18 year old goat meat, won't matter what sauce you use, it will be what wears out 1st your teeth or her gristle. It's OK I did take it as a joke. But thanks for sticking up for me Matt.

Grat news I'm really pleased for you. Its not very often that happens.
BTW my mate has a couple of pygmy goats they ate the wiring loom in his car and his motorbike

Glad to heat its back. If you Google "Fainting Goats" and watch the video, it will really make you laugh. They say that the goats are in no pain, but at the end of the day, they are perpetuating a breed with an inherint fault, but still funny.

Glad to hear it. Always makes me wonder when people return stolen things - maybe there is hope??

My other half comes from a farm where they routinely have the opposite problem - people drive miles into the country to find a lane to dump unwanted dogs/cats/goats all sorts on. The really tragic thing is the dog warden/RSPCA will pick them up and take them off your hands for free.

Good news. Crackling? You feed her pork?

[MattF]

Extremely glad to hear you've got her back Duane. All the better that she's generally in no worse a condition than when she went.

[RodLeach]

Glad to hear some good news!!

[Albannach]

Brilliant news, really glad you got her back. I hope the folk who blamed 'Pikeys' are feeling a wee tad stupid now
