It's cold in the Portland area and everyone is just trying to keep it together. That includes one lonely goat who, according to a Facebook post from Jan. 12, wandered into a 7-Eleven on Scholls Ferry Road in Tigard last week and helped itself to some Sour Skittles.

The video of the goat, just trying to get a snack and warm up a little, and a picture of it standing at the entrance to the store, have been shared on Facebook more than 44,000 times.

Katelyn Lund, who posted the video and photo, told us over email Monday that the goat was outside when she arrived at the 7-Eleven, "but when I opened the doors she was pretty adamant about going in and went past me."

"And honestly I didn't know how to handle a goat so I just let her," Lund added.

According to Lund, "Everyone was hella nonchalant about her, and no one said anything to her."

"At that point I'm thinking, 'Dude, does no one realize that there's a real life goat in here? And where's your mom?'" Lund told us. "It turns out the guy checking out right next to me was her owner, which I found out a couple days later when I went in again."

"You should know she's not just about the Skittles," Lund said. "Ol' girl was pulling down all types of candy.
