Mountain Goats
I was down in Argentiere this morning. It's the next village down and has a small supermarket, but it's still a small village. It was busier than I've ever seen it. Turns out there was a market going on, and penned in by the church were a couple of hundred goats and sheep.
I was so tempted to buy a couple of goats. They look like cool animals to have around, keeping the grass down all summer and perhaps providing milk I could make cheese from. Aside from the many more obvious reasons for not buying a couple of goats, the reason which fully made up my mind was wondering how I would explain to them the difference between my vegetable garden and the grass they were allowed to eat.
Shame. I'd love to have seen how my cat would get on with a couple of goats too. Would she be the boss even though she's less than a quarter of their size?
