Goat on the Loose!

Several weeks ago I was casually looking out the window while talking to one of my bosses at work. I noticed a couple of guys running around our parking lot, chasing after what I thought was a dog. I mentioned this, so my boss got up to take a look. As he reached the window, he exclaimed, "That's not a dog, it's a goat!" And so it was, definitely a goat, little "horns" and all. These guys were chasing a goat around our parking lot. Mind you, our office is right next to I-15 in a very developed part of town...no fields, open spaces, etc. We had no idea why there'd be a goat in our parking lot, but there it was. By this time, the goat had slipped underneath a truck and the men were poised on either side of the truck, trying to coax it out. When it finally emerged, one of the guys quickly grabbed it. He then craddled it in his arms, and proceeded to sit in the shade under a tree on the edge of the lot. Huh?! Now he's just going to cuddle with his goat in our parking lot? His friend then ran into the building, (we later figured out that he was dropping off a payment,) and when he returned, the guy under the tree hopped up. They loaded the goat into the back seat of their truck and calmly drove away. Who drives around with a GOAT in the backseat? We got quite a laugh out of the spectacle. Definitely not something we expected to see that day at work!
