Currently having some iced tea while Harriet (our Roomba) vacuums around me. Really wish someone would invent a lawn-mowing version of this thing.

I have a Roomba too. It covers a lot of space.
@surprised said that videos of cats riding on a rumba made @kidsister really happy. I miss those two. They both added positivity to the forums

They work. The problem is they dont know what we dont want them to eat.
(They cant be around wood houses or fences as they will eat them)
There are businesses here in California where they rent out goat herds to “mow” the grass and weeds. Essentially they put a big portable fence around the area to be “mowed” and put the goat herd inside the fence. The grass and weeds are eaten down to the ground within days, but afterwards there is the lingering odor of goats for quite some time.

The smell is maybe fertiler they leave behind, i guess. I was going to get a tiny one once just to help out.
Then I found out that even most domesticated dogs think they smell like food.
Many strays
It wouldnt have had half s chance there.
Too bad too because the person told me it a very nice goat used for shearing.
One time I was visiting my mom and I was watering the plants in her back yard. There is a wrought iron fence between her back yard and a wild hillside running below her house and above the next row of houses in the subdivision.
I wasn’t paying attention and walked up to the fence while watering with a garden hose when I suddenly looked up. There was a row of goats standing on the other side of the fence staring at me. I was so shocked that I let out a shriek. The goats remained unfazed. There were hundreds of goats on the hillside, surrounded by a portable fence.
That’s my first hand experience with the “rent-a-herd-of-goats” business concept.

When I was a kid I saw a guy with a goat and I went over to pet it. He ate my popcorn. The cardboard box and all. He was a hungry fellow.

My sister and her husband had a little pet goat they kept in their backyard. It was neat but when I was house-sitting for my sister one time the goat was not allowed in a fenced in lawn. But the damn thing kept finding ways to get in and surprised me a few times because it took me awhile a couple of times to figure out how she got in there.
