Goatie my pet goat dog loves to go for car rides.

Say go bye bye and she will jump right in. Beware if you leave your car door open.

Once in she gets as close to me as she possible can and lays down. Her favorite way to sit is with one leg on my lap.

She enjoys looking out the window, or resting her head on my stomach or lap.

Today I got PROOF!

Sometimes she acts sleepy and lays her head down and closes her eyes.


:love

It's extremely hard to drive on a curvy road with a goat on your lap and a camera in one hand.

Yep she is potty trained too.

Never had an accident in the car yet. :fl

She lived in the house when she was younger, and always went outside to potty. Though I'm pretty sure she would have an accident in the house now if she stayed in any length of time since it's been years since she lived in here.

She comes into the kitchen from time to time, but usually we chase her out after a few minutes once she starts nibbling on things and getting into stuff. :plbb

Mine are pack goats. They like to go for rides. It means adventure and visits and hardware stores and feed stores with treats. The problem is I made the mistake of starting them out when they were babies in the front seat of the pickup. Now that they are nearly 200 pounds it is hard to impress upon them that they need to ride in the back of the pickup.

The more you take her for a ride the better she will become accostomed to people. You can get her to carry your bags for you.

Oh she is probably close to 200 pounds herself. And it wasn't her first ride. She goes all the time.

She is probably as people accustomed as she can be. :rolleyes:

She hates goats, and literately runs free and sleeps on our porch like a dog.

She can pack, pull a cart, and do lots of tricks. She also opens doors, and locks.

She goes in parades and to nursing homes. We go for walks in the park.

She especially loves going to McDonalds for french fries. :gig

She is getting up there in years. Best pet I ever had. I'm going to miss the fat booger someday.

Oh my... I hope no one in my family sees this...I love it, butttt, it is an ongoing battle to get my family to understand FARM ANIMALS stay OUTSIDE!! When I'm gone they sneak them in... and as smart as they are, they are just "dumb" enough to take pictures! So they end up telling on themselves- and I end up bleaching everything :he

Secretly I'd love it if one of my goats would go for rides with us.... but the only one that I think would do that is my farm partners girl Arianna- she is a love and doesn't think she's a goat!

@ Queen Mum- would love to see a picture of one of your 200lb girls- I can't imagine!

That is absolutely adorable. I love it. How did you train her to do that?
