Could We Make Up This Stuff?

Two goats found near Montrose Harbor (FROM STNG WIRE REPORTS)

Two goats were found wandering near Montrose Harbor Sunday night on the North Side, police said. The goats, which both had agricultural tags on them, were found wandering near Lake Shore Drive and Montrose Harbor, according to a Town Hall District police lieutenant.

Responding Town Hall District police officers placed the goats into the care of Animal Care & Control and it was not immediately known where the goats came, though the lieutenant said it was possible they had come from the Lincoln Park Zoo or from a farm. The goats did not appear to be injured, according to the lieutenant, who said a police report did not need to be prepared for the incident. A spokesman for Animal Care & Control was not immediately available.

  2. I was wondering where they ran off too.

    They were supposed to be the highlight at my half time Super Bowl soiree.

  4. Maybe someone in Uptown can adopt the goats and dress them up in cute costumes so other can take pictures of them. Residents in this area like to engage in such activities with animals.

    You'll have to rent it or research it to understand the goat reference.

  8. What scares me the most, Pirate, is that I caught your reference without an explanation.

  13. you know, i thought i had spotted helen and brendan walking along the lakefront about this time on sunday. guess i was mistaken.

    maybe when LPZ comes to pick up their stray goats, they could stop over on carmen and pick up some other livestock that's on the loose.
