Today I had to say goodbye to my beautiful Scamper. He lived nearly 15 years as a spoiled and much loved cat.. He was definitely the alpha of my pets. He had two 60 pound dogs totally under his control. He will be missed.
As I was walking out of the vet's office I noticed many other cats and dogs waiting their turn and one of the vet techs cleaning up a mess on the floor. One of the dogs had an odd tail. I turned to close the door, and much to my surprise, realized that the dog with a funny tail was a goat! I couldn't help but laugh. I am so used to seeing only dogs and cats in a vet's waiting room, my brain didn't even register that any other type of animal could be on a leash wandering amid the plastic chairs and pet magazines in the room.
Scamp was a city cat. I can't imagine what he would have thought of a goat. That silly goat reminded me how much my life has changed. I may not be in Kansas anymore, but I hope I find the yellow brick road.
