Just on CBC Radio 690AM!

We were just on CBC Radio, 690AM, this afternoon! We were also joined by Christina de Jong from CRWRC, who got to share about the CRWRC organization and the effect of the goats in peoples lives! She also brought us up to speed on the goat-o-meter, and we are now at 398!!!

If you missed the broadcast, you can listen to it here!

(I love the part where the host is laughing about the goat-o-meter.)

Thanks again for your support, get ready for Thursday’s game! Goat Canucks Goat!

Where you guys come from…

257 goats! Unbelievable! That’s $6,425 worth of goats donated by people. I thought that with a long break between Canucks games we would see a decline in the goat buying, but it has not slowed down. Thank you all very much.

If you are like me, you enjoy looking at stats. Since many visitors to the website are hockey fans, I assume most of you enjoy stats too. ex: Did you know that the only two goals Vlaimir Ruzicka scored in the 1990-1991 playoffs were game winners? Great stat. Here are some stats about the visitors to www.goatcanucksgoat.com…

Yesterday was another busy day for the web site with 2,131 visits through out the day. And I think only 2000 of those were from me. The website has had 19,000+ page views. We have had visitors from 466 cities in 43 countries around the world. As soon as we get our first visit from the Antarctica we will be able to say we’ve had visitors from every continent check out goat Canucks goat. As of last night, we have had visitors from 41 states in the USA and all the provinces/territories in Canada except Nunavut. After Canada and the USA, Switzerland is the country we have received the most hits from. 52.88% of our visitors use Internet Explorer as their browser, while only two of you use a browser called SeaMonkey. Iowa is the state that we have had the most visitors from with 69. California (60), Michigan (56) and Washington (52) are not far behind.

Thanks again to all the goat buyers. With a nice break before the next round of the playoffs begin it gives people some time to get up to speed in their goat buying!

200!!

We just received word from CRWRC that we have reached the 200 goats mark! WOW! Thank you so much to everyone who has got a goat! We set the original goat-o-meter at 100 to have something to reach for and we have already doubled that after only one round. Can you imagine how many goats will be got by the time the Canucks win the Stanley Cup? Amazing!

On the updated map that shows which country people are visiting this website from, we have now reached every continent except Antarctica! We had our first hit from South America yesterday with hits from Brazil.

For all the Canucks fans who were not able to make it to the airport at 3:00am after the Canucks won on Tuesday, I can tell you it was a good time. The Canucks all drove out in their cars and many of them had their windows rolled down and honked their horns. The best reaction of the night goes to Kevin Bieksa who was hanging out of the backseat of a car driven by Kyle Wellwood and let on a huge “woohoo!” with a celebratory fist pump. It was definitely worth the 3 hours of sleep I got that night!

THANK YOU!

This just in…151!!!

WHAT?! The new goat tally is at 151 purchased as of this afternoon….Words cannot even describe Vancouver Canucks fans. You are seriously the greatest fans in the world! We’ll get on resizing the goat-o-meter target point…for now lets just admire the current exploding goat-o-meter.

125!!!

Wow, as of this morning, we have just hit 125 goats and exploded the goat-o-meter. THANK YOU! Everyone has been extremely generous towards this great cause, and all of you are making this a continued success.

We will up the goat-o-meter target amount soon, so we can get ready for the Canucks in round 2!

Please remember, if you are Canadian, please use the Canadian “Buy a Goat” button on the right, or the correct link on the facebook page. This way CRWRC can send the correct tax receipt. This make it easier for them so they don’t have move any donations around from USA link to the Canadian one.

I believe we are going to be on Canucks.com today at around 11am, so be sure to check that out.

CTV Clip

We’ll need to work on cropping the clip, but if you go here: CTV News – Apr. 19 @ 6pm and click to the time: 5:37 you should see the clip of us on the news! Again, we’ll try and trim it down, for now just fast forward!

Another Successful game

Another great day, another great Canuck win, another group of goats purchased! The approximate goat count is up to 74…well 75 now, I just bought one. Hopefully we’ll hear some great news from CRWRC with some more accurate numbers that should surpass our approx. numbers so far…so be sure to check the site tomorrow, assuming we have the update!

Thanks again to everyone! You are all making this a huge success in helping families and communities across the world from us.
