K and I are back from looking at the house. It comes with a herd of goats. Which I'm oddly charmed by.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
You know what? I recognize the need for healthy food (veggies that aren't battered and deep-fried, fruit that isn't in roll-up form), and I tend to like a lot of it.
But I really, REALLY like non-plant-based food, too. The deep-fried kind. The kind that used to roam the fields and moo. The kind with 90% butterfat, thank ya Lord. The crappy kind, too; not just filet mignon with bearnaise sauce. Funyuns and Butterfingers. I know they're shelf-stable for 1,000 years, but I love them.
I know it's evident by looking at my ass, but I love food. I enjoy a lot more of it than just the plant-based great-grandmother-approved food. I can't even try to tout a philosophy of "Eat less, mostly plants," because I don't agree with it. Eat for enjoyment, dang it.

Seriously, Kat? Real live ones?

When Noah gets to the (messy) point of self feeding, you can park him out in the yard and they'll clean up after him!
Um, what would the dog do?
A college friend grew up about 45 minutes north of here. They had a herd of goats. Some of which were house goats after her dad fell in love with them after having to hand raise 'em when they were rejected by their nanny goat. According to her, they actually made nice pets. Except that they were very possessive of her dad...

I think the dog will freak out. And then, we hope, get over it.
Yes, libkitty, real live goats. The house is on 6 acres of land and so the goats are taken out onto the land to keep the brush at bay to make fire risks less so.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow!

OMG. Six acres??? That's crazy! And GOATS! OMG. At least you wouldn't have to mow...
Of course, ita might want to eat one of them....curried...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That looks great!
Goats are stinky and occasionally cantankerous. But with six acres it wouldn't be like you couldn't avoid them if you wanted to. And with the separate fenced areas it sounds like it would work great for the dog.
Six acres!
I wish I had six acres.

If you had 6 acres, you too would need goats or cows or SOMETHING to graze it. It's a hilly 6 acres and it's in a fire kind of area.
But yeah.
I hope this works out. I hope this works out. I hope this works out.
But how weird to live in Los Angeles with GOATS.
