Well, Jam, Mr. Goodkind is, believe it or not, being deadly serious here:
Jennsen gestured vaguely back at the men and the town behind her. "Since I've been with them, they have come to see that I'm not a witch, and Betty is not a spirit guide - although for a time there I was afraid they might be right about Betty."
Richard peered down at the goat. Betty cocked her head. "I guess none of us but Betty knew the truth of what Nicholas was up to." At the sound of her name, Betty's ears pricked forward and her tail went into a fit of expectant wagging.

After Richard picked up his pack and slipped his arms through the straps, Owen gripped Richard's hand. "Thank you, Lord Rahl, for showing me that my life is worth living."
Marilee stepped forward and hugged him. "Thank you for teaching Owen to be worthy of me."
Richard laughed. Owen laughed. Cara gave Marilee an approving clap on the back. And then all the men laughed.
Betty pushed in and with a flurry of tail wagging got the point across that she didn't want to be left out.
Richard knelt down and scratched Betty's ears. "And you, my friend, from now on I don't want you letting any Slides using you to spy on people."
Betty pushed her head against his chest as he scratched her ears, and bleated as if to say she was sorry.

This is certainly the clincher: Richard laughed. Owen laughed. Cara gave Marilee an approving clap on the back. And then all the men laughed.
Reminds me of one of those cheesy viking movies from the 1950s (not that I'm that old, but I've seen them!)
Welcome to Wonderlands, Jam. Hope it isn't a Goodkind goat!

I've got no dogs, no cats, not even a goldfish, but I did use to have a turtle though, and there's a baby goat outside that keeps hanging around the gate and eating the grass.
