<DIV><BR>I know how frustrating it can be to have a mountain goat. Our Jane used to love to jump up on back of the couch and watch the world go by through the windows, and she was a deadly counter cruiser. Jane seemed endlessly energetic. But after her operation to remove the unidentified object from her stomach, she seemed to slow down. Not that the surgery was all that serious--they didn't cut her open, just went down through her throat. But she slowed down afterwards. Not a lot of jumping anymore, only the rare counter cruise. I know she's twelve, but somehow I thought she'd never stop all the antics.</DIV>

<DIV>Enjoy those goats while you can, one day goats become much slower seniors.</DIV>
