goat

What do you do when you have a goat and you’re moving in a few months and you can’t find a rental house that is goat friendly and not an hour away from the base?

We’re moving to the Jacksonville/Mayport Florida area in a few months and we almost have a goat. Keeping this goat, which I want, depends almost completely on having a place to keep her when we move. I can’t even think of having her unless we are sure we won’t have a problem housing her when we move, says my husband (why does he have to have such good judgement?). If it were up to me I’d just bring her home and then worry about what we’ll do with her when we move. God gave me Ryan for a reason, I guess.

This isn’t a spur of the moment thing, getting a goat. I’ve planned on having a couple of milking goats for years now – just waiting for the right time which never seems to come. However, we have friends who have a bunch of baby goats now and we’ve been offered a very special one (special as in Kait was there when she was born). And all the sudden my dream of having a goat is closer to being a reality.

But then there is that whole moving thing I mentioned above.

What was so close to being, is still as far away as it’s ever been.
