Mine's a laaaaaaaaatte: wayward goat wanders into Starbucks

Staff at a Starbucks in northern California got a surprise on Sunday when an unusual customer wandered in to the cafe first thing in the morning.

Rohnert Park police sergeant Rick Bates said dispatchers received several calls about a goat named Millie wandering around a strip mall on the city’s eastern edge.

Bates said the herbivore may have entered Starbucks in search of a caffeine hit.

He said employees, who were opening the cafe at the time, tried to give Millie a banana, but it kept walking into the coffee shop and started chewing on a box.

Bates took the goat into custody and brought it to the animal shelter — but not before snapping photos of it sniffing around the Starbucks and posting them on the police department’s Facebook page.

He said word spread to Millie’s owner, and the animal made it home.

Millie didn’t travel far; she lives around the corner from the mall.

Rohnert Park is about 80km (50m) north of San Francisco.

We started a wonderful experience a couple of weeks ago. We had to write postcards so we decided to write real ones. There is a lovely web called www.postcrossing.com in which you can register and exchange postcards with people from all over the world. 3º A has sent one, and 3ºD, an amazing number of SIX! Congratulations to those who brought the cards along and wrote them.

And now, the good news. The first ne has arrived!
Here is the message the family from the Netherlands has left us and the photos of the cards we have sent. Congratulations!
