- Why wait? Purchase a house goat now!
-
- The common house goat not only makes a great pet, but a practical
- one, too. Why, with one of these frisky ruminants on the premises,
- you will never have to mow the lawn or take out the garbage again.
- And they make great watchdogs. Like most ungulates, your house goat
- is extremely territorial and will "bah" loudly to frighten away
- tresspassing neighborhood children and those unwanted uninvited
- guests (such as your SO's parents). And burglars? Hah! No burglar
- with any sense is likely to risk getting butted from behind while
- he is picking your lock or cutting your window pane. *Ouch*
-
- Anyway you cut it, the common house goat is a great investment.
- Hell, buy two of them.
-
- BTW: House goats live 40-60 years, and eventually learn to repeat
- back the things they hear around the house, much like parrots do.
- I've got a 13-year-old Siberian (a long-haired breed) named Yeti.
- I took her to an ultimate tournament last week and now she keeps
- saying "Va-a-a-a-a-a-lue the disk!" She's cute, but its hard to
- keep her off the furniture.
