But the name "Kiri the snow eating goat" just really amuses me!

Actually... there's a story behind this!
The author has a blog at http://spotthefrog.blogspot.com/
He suggested, at one point, that he needs to teach his dog to eat snow and cut down on costs for food. I said, get a snow-eating goat and that way your lawn is trimmed in the summer.
He thought it was funny...
Months afterwards I received a letter saying:
"On the topic of jobs, I recently found some work for a snow-eating goat in Spot the Frog. She'll appear 2-16 and hang around for a week or so (though I never know how long a story will play out until I'm done with it.) I'm keeping it a surprise on the blog (I'm revealing the character in sihlouette, flipped upside-down, in sections), but I wanted to thank you for suggesting a funny idea (whether or not I do justice to it I'll leave up to readers.)"
So..... he named her after me.. and... voila! Kiri the snow-eating goat!

Now that is cool! I figured it was just a random use of the name. That is seriously cool to actually have it named after you. Congratulations on inspiring someone!
On a related note, my little weiner dog does eat snow. I have a few photos of him licking it up, its strange. He also barks at every flake.

Actually, after seeing this I spent some time on his blog and noticed that you had posted there. I was wondering if there was some connection. That's really cool, Kiri!
