Of course I was joking. Maybe I'm a little crazy, but I would never consider a goat in my apartment. You made my day! :lol:

Yeah! Tell me about it! Last year some lady living in a townhouse wanted a baby goat. She said she was going to install a doggy door for it so it could go in and out at will, but it would be in the house most of the time. NO! NO! NO!

Actually, I told her sure if she wants a goat to jump on her couch - pee on it, jump on her coffee table - break it, jump on the kitchen counter - knock everything off of it, jump on her bed - eat her blanket then poop and pee on it.

Surprisingly, she didn't take no for an answer. So I told her sure, I'd put her on my waiting list. Of course I never contacted her back!

Goats milk soap is amazing. I have no idea how people make it, but I ordered some from Ebay and it smells delicious and makes your skin all nice. I want a goat just so I can learn how to make the soap.

I suppose it's bad, but I blow a lot of people off.

It really irks me that I have these long conversations/email communications with people, turns out they really won't do well with the animal, but they won't take no for an answer. What is with that?

Fake waiting list - I think I do it so they have time to sit and wait and think about it and hopefully make a better decision.

i dont think its bad i think you do it for a good reason - because these people obviously wouldnt do well owning that animal.

that would totally make me mad to! its probably just one of those random ideas people have like " hey lets get a goat for a house pet! yay okay! *calls roz* hey can we have a goat?" bahaha

i would do the fake waiting list just to mess with them but your reason sounds nicer :P
