A pygmy goat wandered onto the campus of Poet Christian Elementary School on Friday. It was taken to the animal shelter while its owner is located.

Employees at Poet Christian Elementary School guided a pygmy goat into the school kindergarten playground this morning after they spotted the shrieking goat wondering down Central Avenue.

Kindergartner students were happy to share their playground with the goat for a few minutes.

“They were enthralled with it,” said kindergarten teacher Kris Thomas, who helped school administrators and Tracy Animal Control officer Lisa McDonald capture the goat.

McDonald said she will take the goat to Tracy Animal Shelter until she finds its owner. She thinks she knows a resident near the school who owns the goat.

“It is legal to own two pygmy goats in town,” she said. “You can even own a pot-belly pig.”

This is the second goat that Tracy Animal Control’s captured at a school in the past week. A goat strolled onto Central School campus last week.

“They just want to be educated,” McDonald joked.

That is sooo cute. Poor little guy was lost. Love the going green comment...LOL. You can own a goat at a residence that's not a ranch type residence? Huh...learn something new everyday. That's gotta be an interesting pet for sure. Hope it finds its way back home.

What's even more funny, is that another goat wandered into the Grand Theatre Center for the Arts' Fine Arts Galleries on Saturday, 5/10. William Wilson II, the Gallery Supervisor was trying not to scare the skittish goat, as he nearly knocked over some ceramic pieces while jumping up on the window sill. The goat was trying to circumvent Wilson whom was afraid the goat would jump up on the pedestal which would have sent the art crashing down. Animal control came to pick him up and mentioned the Poet Christian goat as well. smilies/cheesy.gif

If that was China Town he wouldn't have just walked in.

Praise Jesus for the goat. May we all be puppets to serve the Lord.
