I bet Greenland has goats.
And what's so awful about the goat sitting in the car? What, you want him to drive around all night?
Have you seen the price of gas?

Oh, I figured the dog was asleep behind one of the beds in the room. Goat Lady was so out of it, she could have had an entire herd of pookas in her room and never noticed them.
Back in the day when the Vikings had settlements in Greenland, they had sheep (unsure of goats). But they had to keep their sheep and cattle in barns the entire winter. By the time spring arrived the animals had to be carried out of the stables because their legs had no strength left. Even at that, ultimately neither sheep nor goat or man survived in Greenland. Everyone died around 1400 or so - the climate changed and became too cold even for Vikings to survive.
We have Rocky Mountain goats around here - tough little bastards. But they have evolved to stand conditions that would make a lesser goat pack up the family car and head south.
I was more worried about the goat getting pulled over for the no license plate thing.
