MANKATO, Minn. (AP) Mankato police probably never expected to get a call like this.
The 911 caller said two young girls, dressed in their pajamas, were out for a walk with a goat about 11:30 p.m. Saturday. The girls told the investigating officer that the goat lived in their bedroom closet and that they regularly took it out for late-night walks.

I don’t care what anyone says. A kid shouldn’t be out for a walk at 11:30PM
I know that some blended families have issues with the kids getting alone. I don’t think this is an instance of that! In fact, the sisters seem to get along very, very well. (the parents should definitely keep an eye on those two as they get older!)
The goat was noted to be quite relaxed and calm, unlike those nights when taken for a stroll by his friend Akhmed.
My mil lives in TN and there are some on the way to her house.
Nothing is cuter than the Pygmy Pony Equestrian competition at the Bolton County Fair in Bolton, MA. Ever see kids so excited that they forget to breath?
When I saw the title of this piece plus the fact that it was an event in Mankato I instantly thought this would have been a great Little House on the Prairie episopde back in the day. My Favorite Program ever!
Oh yeah, BIG time!
Are the Pygmy Ponies like miniature horses? The really small ones? I have seen kids so excited that they forget to breathe! It is a lot of fun to watch that much enjoyment and excitement in little ones!
2 Girls In PJs Take Stolen Goat For A Stroll...
Wasn’t that a Tom T. Hall song?
Its nice to know there is still a place in this country where two little girls in their pajamas can go out walking at night and the first question the police ask is where did you git the goat
A moose bit my sister once.
Any story that begins with “two young girls, dressed in their pajamas, were out for a walk with a goat” sounds like the beginning of a joke.
[ Some farm animals can make great pets. As long as you clean up where they indiscriminately shiat. ]
Most Herbavores just poop anywhere because they are constantly migrating to newer pastures.
Why didn’t the cop shoot the goat?
I don’t understand. Lack of training?
Herbivores.
“Why didnt the cop shoot the goat?”
Maybe it’s a union goat.
So goes the story of the policeman who pulled over the Surburban for speeding. In the family truckster was a family and two of the lovliest, happiest goats you will ever see.
Policeman says, “Hey, where did you get the goats?” Kid in back says “the Zoo.” Cop says to Driver, “I want you to take these goats to the zoo right now.” Dad nods and drives off.
Next day, sure enough, the cop pulls over the same Suburban. The family is singing “Old McDonald”, the kids are having a blast. Next to them are the two goats, sporting Raybans. Cop says, “Hey, I thought I told you to take those goats to the zoo.”
Daughter rolls down her window, looks at the cop and says,”We did, today we are taking them to the beach.”
Ba du dump
Har! It’s the same old story: Ya raise yer kid to be a cop, and he ends up as a tour guide for goats.
Since this is in MN, I guess the goat’s next stop is the Mall of America...
