There are some Valium type type medicines to calm animals so I think there probably is some kind of sedative that would work. You should probably ask at your local vet's office. There are also online pet pharmacies like 1800petmeds.com which list their products by category. You may get some ideas there.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

a perfect ending to another exciting well written story! Thanks for sharing it with us. What's next? I remember you saying something about a sequal to For the Love.

Great chapter goat! So you are leaving us with a "gravitational lissue" instead of the usual cliffhanger? How exactly is that a better ending to a story?

Happy B-day!

Good job CJ! Despite computer troubles our goat has come through with another great chapter AND has killed someone we don't like this time!

Hold the tar and feathers! (not that we would ever think of that) I could not imagine how they would survive but they did! When do we get to read more?

It's hard to pick a favorite. I'll just go with the creapy stuff: "Thriller"!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtyJbIOZjS8

Go figure, I get busy for a couple of weeks and the world turns upside down. There is realy no escaping this one. The end is near and the Echidna is giving away contents of future chapters. Does that mean he has to stick himself with thoes quils? Speaking of animals, it seems that we are back to goat roasting. I think we're going to need some meat tenderizer.

Ouch! What a rough few days! I hope the worst is over. Get well soon.

That was decidedly shocking. Lately I'm hearing that he died of some kind of drug interaction between multiple pain killers. In any event it is very sad.

A wonderful use of tax money! You should write everytime you get drunk. It's very entertaining!

Cliff hangers with goat droppings are a new one for me! Between the dead bodies and the goat dodo this is a smelly chapter. I wonder if the teqila could realy make anything worse. There is already looming disaster and wide spread panic.

Well, the goat has us hanging again. I think he has developed a taste for blood and will certainly kill everyone by the end of the book...unless the Chupacabra gets him first. (The chupacabra is a mythical being that can suck the blood and guts out of a goat. The name literaly translate to goat sucker. It is said to hunt in Mexico and the American South West. I wonder what it would think of a goat marinated in tequila.) What's the point of saving anyone if there is no sequel? The end is near!!!

Fascinating topic! I'm not sure what to make of it all. There are plenty of creapy things I can explain away. For example there is a wooden floor in my home that creaks as though someone is walking across it. There is a temperature gradient across the floor. One end is hot while the other is cold during the day and the hot end gets cold while the cold end gets hot at night. Then there are the things that do not make much sense like hearing footsteps aproach me on a marble floor and seeing no one comming. I have seen some orbs of light flying around a room once. (I think technicaly that could count as a UFO too.) I blame that on too much cafeen but who knows. In any case I love a ghost story. I watch Ghost Hunters all the time. For those not familiar with the show, it is a reality show where plumers try to understand hauntings. They bring a down to Earth common sense aproach to the paranormal. As for UFOs, I can't say a whole lot. I'm near sighted so I am the last person to try identifying things. I have no doubt that there could be life in another solar system. There are many extrasolar planets and there is no reason why there could not be creatures living on them.

When you take the square root of a number you must account for two possible answeres. For example sqrt(4) can be 2 or -2. [2^2 = 4 and (-2)^2 =4] Therfore the sign is uncertain all along. Which means that the gender of any person is uncertain. Combining the above statement with the proof in the first post I have to conclude that while you can not be certain about the gender of a person you can be absolutely 100% sure that he/she is evil. Watch your backs! :wacko:

Things are getting exciting. Only the goat could bring us awkward love scenes with grenades and the unmistakable ticking of the doomsday clock in the background. Good Job!!!

Great chapter, goat buddy! I hope you feel better soon. All that volcanic ash must be hard on the lungs. Maybe you should avoid volcanically active cliffs for a while.

Sharon, Alfred. and Jhonson are the best! They helped me with one of my anthology entries. I will come back begging for their help again if ever I get a story done in a reasonable time.

It must be part of the benefits package at the new job. I love the way Eric keeps sitting on things. This chapter is my favorite thus far. Talk about an unforgetteble date! I bet their air filter will clog and they will be stuck calling for a tow while sitting on their bombs.

Way to go, CJ! I think some of your co-workers were at my work place a few months ago and our hils are wonderfuly grass free. As for the methane, I thought goats weren't so gassy. It's mosty cows that get the credit in that department.

Great chapter! I love the part with the MIG chasing Gerneral B. and company. I'm not sure about the collateral. I doubt if it would be the weapons. Maybe the general owns lots of stock in a goat ranch. That could be a nice replacement for the property in Teluride. There is still a little typo: Over a hundred ships of all sized

All hail the king!

That was the most shocking ending! There was such a "gross out" factor to it but it made a good point. My family seems less disfunctional by the minute.

Nice work, goat buddy!!! That was the most exciting chapter so far. I still want to know exactly what Felicia is up to. Is she going to kill the general? Is she working for a government of some coutry? I have a feeling we are in for a big surprise.
