ramshackle

While the ninja girl and I were on an errand yesterday, this goat climbed up onto something in the center of its little prison and called to us with sad-sounding mews. We wished we could take it home with us.

In front of it, empty soda bottles lie collapsed around a traffic cone, on top of which are two inverted plastic cups.

a goat

Over on a ways is a discarded Christmas tree, a chair, and baby stroller, and other stuff.

odds and ends

It is one of B-town's more Winter Bone-like corners.

It doesn't look like the goat has shelter from the elements.

I wish I could do something--I wish I could do something positive and effective. I don't want to be just a nosy busybody, but I do want the poor thing to be warm and happy. I dunno--maybe the people who own it take it in for the night? But where it is, right now, is behind a defunct business. I didn't think anyone lived there. But maybe they do: there's that huge woodpile, so maybe they're staying in the building as a house--even though it used to be a business.
