From the day the first goat stumbled into the Tavern, the Billy Goat Inn became a circus of animals. There were numerous goats, from beer drinking to dollar bill eating, but mostly beer drinking. There was Ruby the cat, a duck named Suzie Q, elephants, mules and numerous other visitors. An avid animal lover, Billy offered the tavern as their home, even hosting a waiting party for a pregnant Ruby the cat which included a mini hospital bed, nurses and all.
