Goats aren't too bad either. Either animal will do a good job of mowing your lawn. My uncle was once out of town for two weeks and the front lawn got out of control. He let the goats loose for a couple days and they took care of it.

Climbing through banks of snow adds a certain difficultyfactor, but all in all, necessity is the mother of invention, and I'm getting by. Yesterday we saw two contenders, Iliked one, and Dorothy like the other better. On a funny note, a hotel worker asked us how long we would bestaying, of course I could not resist saying for ever.
