The prospect of goat ownership in Denver proper has previously been researched by Nathan Michels, so I defer any question of legality or logistics to him. All goat name suggestions can be directed to me at mollie.richardson@gmail.com and yes, “Billy” is far too prosaic.

a goat
I don’t know why this man had a goat on his bicycle, but it makes a good picture for my next statement. I am going to buy a goat. Not in Rwanda, but when I get back to Denver...unless I decide to try to get a goat through customs. According to Russell Rainey, renowned outdoorsman and founder of Christ in the Tetons, goats are the new llama. Yes, that’s right: they can pack up to 40 pounds and can eat along the trail, so they make excellent backpacking companions. Since I’m unemployed, I hope to get some good pack trips in this summer and having a goat means I don’t have to carry as much. I wonder how fast they hike – as quick as a bunny, perhaps?

I think buying a goat's a brilliant idea. Imagine all the things it could do for you! You could start making your own goat cheese, and maybe even collecting its hair to weave your own clothes.
You're a wonderful writer, Mollie. Thanks for keeping us updated. =)
How about Gruff?
I was boarding an airplane when you called yesterday. Sad that I missed you. Love your blog posts.
If you're backpacking with a goat, make sure your food is securely tucked away. Goats eat any and everything.
