I have to take my goat because my cat is lactose intolerant.

There's nothing like a traveling goat for starting conversations with strangers in other countries. My goat would be the ultimately ice breaker, greeting everyone with a friendly bleat. Also, hopefully traveling with my goat would put me in the good graces of all the dairy farmers and cheese makers we meet along the whey, leading to invites to taste delicious cheeses & yogurts. Now I just have to go out and get a goat; anyone know where to get one in Brooklyn?

I can't leave her at home because she wants a vacation too. She isn't' dry yet, and still needs to be milked. She is way smarted than other peoples dogs, and much quieter. She loves to ride in the passenger seat of my truck. One time we went to Sturgis during the motorcycle rally, and she loved it. She let the big, bad bikers pet her, and even try to milk her. She is suck a good girl. We cannot possible be separated for more than a day or two. I dont have anybody I can count on to milk and feed and care for her. She is also trained to carry our stuff. She can handle my bed-roll, some food, and some fire wood no problem. So all-in-all, why wouldn't I take her?

I'd take my goat on vacation because she can't read the postcards I send her.

Why would I take my coat on vacation? Well that's a very silly question. My vacations usually involve going skiing so of course I'd take my coat. What??.......oh goat? I don't have a goat.

I took a trip to the Philippines in Lipa City, Batangas, for 4 months just to hang with 300 dairy goats!! I helped to train the people there how to care for and feed the does, kids, and bucks. I also taught them how to disbudd, and hoof trim. Also all about pulling blood, and doing CAE and CL tests. I also taught them how to handle and care for their goats milk. I showed them how to make cheeses and candies. Everywhere I went I promoted the goat. No one was safe from my teaching or samples of cheeses and candies. My husband was glad I left him home. I have pictures I can share...

I would take my goat on vacation because as a mom, the downside of vacation is returning home and doing a ton of laundry. With the goat along, it could just casually EAT all the dirty clothes the kids generate and eliminate the need to pack it all home!

Vacation? Not unless the whole herd comes. First off we need The Queen to make sure everyone gets outta the way when we come through. Then the charming doelings to do all the meet & greet with their dams right behind to make sure everyone we meet is a righteous and good person (or goat) as they are the best judges of character. Senior does will find us all the best places to laze about, whether we want sun or shade, and of course, they always know the best places to eat, as they can see and smell beyond gates doors and fences.And if we don't find a suitable place, they will provide milk and warm soft bodies to curl up with.

Vacation with Chiva means no fighting over who gets the covers or middle of the bed. HER MISSION IN LIFE IS TO GENTLY PLACE HER NOSE on my cheek and doze off to sleep for the night.

Photos available.

I can't think of a better friend and companion. She's small, she's snuggly and she's cleaner than any dog or cat. Exceptionally good manners and very loving in a sweet and gentle way. She looks great in a pink pinafore. Really!

I would take my goat on vacation with me because our Home Owners Association doesn't permit the keeping of goats in our area, I could have my own supply of raw milk (as the FDA wouldn't allow that without raiding the place!), and not to mention that goats are my favorite animal! I love Nubians!

The best reason to take your goat with you on holiday, besides the obvious companionship, is to see just how many people at rest stops will ask you "What breed of dog is that?"

I would bring my goat to clear the campsite of weeds, frolic on the beach without sunscreen, help keep the tent cuddly warm on a cold evening, and to make negative commentary on my unflattering shopping selections....naaaah!

If I take my goat(s) on vacation, then I would be taking 3 Horny Old Goats!!

2 would be 4 legged and 1 would be 2 legged! A menage a trois? or a Quatre?

Just seems to me that it would be a wondrous thing to bring my Horny Old Goats with me on vacation. I have 2 4 legged ones and 1 2 legged one. Does that make a menage a trois or a quatre???

I'd take my goat on vacation to the beach because she'd be the only one who could hang 8 on the surf board. We'd go to the beach because she'd also be the only one wearing her bathing suit top on the bottom. This will delight people and make them laugh. Of course we'd only DRIVE to the beach because I wouldn't want my goat to have to empty the contents of her bag at the airport security check point.

I need someone for "spooning" when on the road! "Kozy Karl" is my man

Because I always get lost and he knows the whey.

We all know goat milk makes the best cheese and yogurt. Since you can make yogurt outside (http://survivingthemodernworld.com/2011/porchgurt/), all you really need is a hot summer day, a camp stove and mason jar to pull it off. So bring your goat with you and have fresh milk for your own yogurt and labneh cheese... on the hoof. If you bring an extra jar, you can even share some with your friends/family/fellow campers/bed & breakfast owners!
