Patrick Euripides Ottman (aka Pat the Goat) slept peacefully into the goat afterlife at the ancient age of 12, in the early morning hours of 4 January 2020 — already judging harshly what the new year was offering.
Patrick was a long-time resident of Harrison Farm, joining the herd for a temporary stay in 2010. Pat was a noted activist, ornithologist, philanthropist, and aspiring astronaut. He loved carrots and Cecilia Donkey, and hated virtually everything & everyone else. Patrick & Cecilia were an enjoyable pair of instigators, who often played the role of the two grumpy old Muppets mocking all others. This noted curmudgeon had recently decided (after nearly a decade of evaluation) that maybe the Goatherd was not the absolute worst person he had ever encountered, and had begun accepting treats & attention over the last couple months.
Besides his BFF Cecilia Donkey, Pat is survived by his owner Angela Ottman, young goat Orange 25 who liked to snuggle with him (and who will now likely be named in honor of Patrick), a sad Goatherd, Maya Leigh the Horse, and 100 other goats who Pat disliked. Pat was preceded in death by his frenemies Mustard E. Goat and Beef E. Goat.
Patrick was buried in a private graveside service on Saturday 4 January 2020 at Harrison Farm officiated by the Reverend Goatherd, with Herd Manager Alex & Student Assistant Austin serving as pallbearers. Due to the rain, all goats stayed in the barn eating Christmas trees, but the ducks loudly quacked their condolences.
