“Mehhh, mehhhhh”

Know what that title means?  I’m trying to imitate the sound both DB and I have been hearing since mid early April.  Every day this “mehhhhhh”, “mehhhhhhh” comes on in the morning, afternoon, late afternoon, evenings and sometimes up to 8 – 9:30 p.m.  If we have the windows and patio door shut, it’s not so bad, but since it’s a warmer, DB wants the patior door and windows opened.

This sound only comes from the back of our house.  Initially we thought it is a kid.  We would close one ear.  It sure sounds like someone is torturing the kid.  Since it’s early May, we completely have all the windows in the house opened everyday and night, especially the kitchen and bedroom windows.  I can hear it when I go to bed at 9 p.m.

Last weekend we were outside doing some yard work, the sound really got loud.  We look to the direction of the sounds.  It sure seems like it’s two houses away from us from the back.  I told DB maybe it’s a child or a cat.  He thought it’s a cat and not a child coz who would let their child cry, whine that long and especially at night.  DB said he felt like calling the cops to have them check it out.  I told him NO.  Not yet.

So, on Wednesday, DB went on his daily routine by opening the windows and door, there it is again.  He waited till there was daylight, took out his binoculars and guess what that was???????

Frigging GOATS!

There are two of them whining goats in the backyard of the house we thought where the sound came from.  I got home and saw them through the bino too.  Damn-sam, I so want to call animal control to report the owners. The goats are brown in color with black and white stripes on their faces.  I imagine they are pygmy goats, but i’m not sure.  Maybe all goats have that white and black stripes on their faces, I have no stinking idea.  The link on pygmy goats have a picture of a brown goat which those two goats in our neighborhood look like.

I looked up the city ordinance, no farm animals are allow in the city.  I assume these goats are pet goats, I still think it’s forbidden to rear goats in the suburban neighborhood.  I am still debating if we should call animal control ask them if thy neighbor has license for them goats.  Or should I, and if I can stop DB, too, to not call at all and leave them goats alone and we just enjoy the “mehhhhhhh, mehhhhhhh”.  Don’t know.
