    I srsly wanted one when I owned my townhome because I hated mowing the yard.

    Then I figured messing with goat crap would be an even less desirable job.

    ETA: that little thing is just so adorable!

  • When I was in college I did a story on these people who raised goats.  We accidentally left a battery bag in the field and the damn things chewed holes through it, true story.  :)

  • We live on an acre and I seriously want 2 goats! DH says I can get them, but people keep telling me how horrible they are and how they get out all the time and eat everything, so I'm kinda iffy about that. But, they are so cute!

    Our backyard is currently dirt and weeds, since the previous owners never bothered to landscape.  I keep trying to tell Jef that if we get a goat, then we can go ahead and plant sod and he won't have to worry about mowing the lawn.  So far, he's not going for it... :(

    But It is SO cute!  I am in serious cutenes overload.

    Jef's asking "what about the dogs?!"

    Dude. Nala's a shepherd. She'd love a goat! Having a goat to herd around would totally make her LIFE.

    I never had problems with goats at all. I think the only thing they chewed was this ladies windsheild wipers one time. She opened our gate drove right up to where the goats were. It was her fault you shouldn't just drive into someone's yard that was LOCKED and park by goats. While she was at the door trying to get my Dad to buy the book of Jahovah the goat was on her car eating her windsheild wipers.

    Awwwwww too cute

    I had a chocolate goat at my grandfather's farm when I was a kid.  His name was Coca and followed me everywhere.

    Miz, I am totally adding "protection from door to door evangelists" to my list of reasons that I need a goat.

    OBX, he's adorable!

    HAHA! Right!

    Are you wanting pygmy?
  • Goats are the devils. They will eat aaaanything. My mom's dad had a couple on the farm, and my mom likes to tell the horror story of how one used to follow her around, just staring at her, and at one point she went out and it was just standing on the roof of her car...staring. They're creepy.

    Miz - I really want a Nigerian dwarf.  Although I really don't think I'll be able to convince Jef (or the homeowners association). :(

    Any - I don't know you anymore. /shun

  • I love goats!  They are so full of personality. I will have some someday.

    They will eat anything, including siding off your house.  True story happened to a friends house.  But if you have enough other things to eat its not so tempting. This neighbor had a goat that was in love with one of the kids.  Every morning she would open the door and the goat would run upstairs and jump into bed with the kid.

    have you heard of the fall down goats?  If you scare them they fall over. Literally the get really stiff and fall over.

    are you talking about fainting goats? They are hilaroius!

    Also, Nigerian dwarfs are the cutest EVER! My cousin raised one from bottle stage. It was only around their dogs, so it thinks it's a dog. It doesn't know what a goat is!

  • My brother wants to find a house where they can have pigs and goats and chickens. He needs to get the hell out of the middle of silicon valley then.

    Omfg me too. I hate Canadian geese. HATE THEM. I had one chase me around campus because I was walking on the sidewalk and apparently that was its' spot. Then another time I was walking to the hospital and there was a bunch on the other side of the road. They all started chasing me and honking at me. My leg was hurt so I couldn't run. Evil bastards.

    I'm with Any. When I was in 4-H, we (the swine-showing people) had to share a barn with sheep and goats. The sheep and goats were the loudest, stinkiest, most obnoxious animals ever. The pigs were generally content with themselves, but the damn goats had to be making noise and stinkin' up the joint all the time. I dislike them, except for their cheese.

    I love Canadian geese!  A flock crashed my wedding and I was all "Oh look, Jef, they flew in just for you!"  Then I chased them around the golf course in my wedding dress and my photographer became even more convinced that I'm demented.  (Sigh.)

    ANY Geese/water fowl. There'd better be a clear path between me and the car door if you think I'm throwing food at them.

    And, I've had a goose stalk my car, climb on the hood then walked up the front windshield onto the roof. Where it stayed. While I was in the car. I kept honking my horn, and finally a coworker came out and shooed it away. Then about peed his pants, laughing at me. It was one of those ugly, ugly ones, with the red wattle:

    (I've since discovered it's a male muscovy duck, and it hisses, not quacks - so I feel justified).

  • I love goats I wish they were trainable to have as better pets!  We had a rescue goat, "Billy" a few years ago and he was the funniest thing.  We kept him with our rescue Clydesdale to keep each other company and he'd always follow us around trying to get into our pockets--he was more like a dog than my original idea of a goat.

    HA! I raised both goats and pigs and would have to say that pigs are 10 times smellier and louder than goats.  Don't get me wrong I like pigs a lot too, but they really do smell much worse. 

    Not a fan of sheep though.  They are too dumb for their own good.
