Goat rams through sliding glass door, naps inside bathroom

An Ohio homeowner never envisioned becoming semi-famous because of a goat butting its way into her home and taking a nap in her bathroom.

“This is the most random story in the world,” Jennifer Keathley said Tuesday, breaking out into laughter.

The break-in happened Friday when an escaped male goat from a farm several miles (kilometers) away repeatedly butted against a sliding glass door, breaking into the Keathley family home in Ashland County’s Sullivan Township.

Keathley’s 18-year-old son, Logan, discovered the billy goat in the bathroom when he returned home Friday afternoon from school to find the family’s agitated German Shepherd in the driveway, broken glass on the back porch and the house reeking.

Some of the break-in was recorded on the Keathley’s home surveillance camera. Two Ashland County Sheriff’s deputies unsuccessfully tried to coax the goat, named Big Boy, out of the home with carrots, a dog bone and grass. They eventually grabbed him by the horns and dragged him outside where they secured him in a dog cage.

Keathley put a message out for a missing goat on a community Facebook page and received a reply with the owner’s name and number. The apologetic owner arrived that evening and, with Keathley’s husband’s help, loaded him onto a livestock trailer for his ride home.

The Keathleys learned their home insurance policy covers damage from bears and deer but not goats. She said she’s been in touch with the company. Despite applications of carpet deodorant and urine neutralizer, she said the odor from Big Boy’s urine still lingers. Asked about her newfound fame, Keithley said, “There’s all these awful stories in the world, people need this.”

Here's what netizens reacted: 

Python in the bathroom

While a goat took a nap in a bathroom in the United States, in another part of the world, an Australian woman came home to two pythons, in two days.

According to media reports, Errey said that she came from work and went straight to the bathroom. She said her toilet lid was open and when she looked she only spotted a dark slithering thing in the toilet before she realised it was a python. Carrey then called up the Cairns Snake Removal who later shared a picture of the huge water python on their Facebook page. The officials said that by the time they arrived the snake moved out of the toilet and reached the basin.

Similarly, on the following day, Errey's sister entered the bathroom and found another python there. She was shocked at the sight, and the coincidence. Cairns Snake Removal shared a picture of the second snake with a caption "What nightmares are made of". "Two nights in a row I have been called to the same Whitfield property for a snake in the toilet... In all my time I have pulled several snakes out of toilets. But never 2 in 2 days at the same address."
