Every day at the lock house was a new adventure. Some days one of the animals would get loose and we would have to stay in the house until it was caught. The worst one was the white goat named snowball, that thing was the terror of the barn yard. He loved to chase people and butt them. He caught me off guard a few times. One day he had me trapped in a little shed for hours.
We also had one big rooster that was almost as bad. He was almost as tall as I was. The most frightening animal was the young bull we had. Just the size of him and the way he snorted at us was enough to keep you far away.
All the other animals were tame and fun to be around. There were more goats, a cow, chickens, ducks, pigs, and later we even got 15 turkeys. Of course there was a dog. It surely was our own little zoo.
