Here’s some incredibly important breaking news from The Telegraph:
Goats can develop their own unique accents from their surroundings, a British study has suggested.

Here at Shorebird & Goat we have been closely following the saga of Frostie the Goat, who has come to be a hero to all of us.
To recap for newcomers to this important story, Frostie had a leg infection that required the use of a goat wheelchair. Then, after a few weeks, he was able to walk on his own. Sadly, Frosite has now passed away.
As his animal sanctuary put it:
Whilst a part of me feels cheated that Frostie’s was not a long life, it was certainly one filled with more happiness and joy, love and friendship, kindness and compassion than many animals receive in a lifetime. Frostie’s lesson to me has been this- to seize every minute of the your life as the most precious gift there is, use it wisely and lovingly for you never know if it is your last.
