Someone stole my goat

Hi, my name is Makaila and I am 7 years old. I wanted to tell you how sad I am that somebody stole my goat, Oreo. I want to be a veterinarian one day and that’s why I got her for my seventh birthday. She is a very nice goat. She is mostly black and has a white stripe around her tummy like an Oreo cookie.

I really like Oreo because she would follow me around and eat grain from my hands. My Nana and Granddad let me keep Oreo at their house until we get a house that we can keep her at. Somebody took my brother’s goat, Lollipop, and my Nana’s goat, Gingersnap, too. They were all friends. They also took our ducklings that I love. I hope they are ok.

I don’t think the people who took the animals knew that they belonged to kids who loved them. It hurts my feelings that someone took them away, and that’s why I cry. I hope whoever took them will do the right thing and give them back. If they don’t give them back, I hope they will be kind to them. They are just babies. Thank you for letting me share what happened.
