Top left. "We adopted Maddie (and her BFF Misty) from a Craigslist circa 2008. They were being kept in a tiny urban backyard and the local authorities gave their owners a deadline to disperse of their tiny herd of two. I had to make a solemn promise to the owner that I wasn't going to eat them, and they rode the hour drive back home up the highway in the back of my Ford Explorer. Maddie was a fiesty Boer goat and would love to sneak up behind you and give you a quick butt to the back of the knees, then would trot off very pleased with herself. I have so many photos of her smiling, some even showing her teeth in a full cheesy grin, but this is one of my favorites showing her sweetest smile (trying to lure me in for more headbutts). She was in her glory living the country life with us here in Skippack and quickly became best friends with my OTTB Veto," saidFriel-Patton,

Sue Wiseman of Boyertown, Pa., took this photo.

My niece rescued this fawn after its mother was tragically hit by a car," said Wiseman, who took this photo with her iphone. "They were driving down a back road near our house when they saw a deer that was clearly dead. But then a little way along they saw a fawn, and it was moving, so they scooped it up and brought it home. My cat, Munchkin, was very curious about who this visitor was and clearly displeased.  He said, 'What did you bring into my house!' The fawn was taken to Red Creek Wildlife Center in Schuykill Haven, Pa for a full recovery!"
