Physical Hurry! Book now for January 8!
Don’t some pet owners get on your goat! The ones that think that their dog can poo anywhere, that their dog can charge at other people, that their dog doesn’t need to abide by the ‘no dogs’ zones. And those who let their cats out at night to destroy local wildlife. And goldfish owners who don’t feed their little captives. And snakes. Why would anyone want to keep a snake captive! Goats are ok though. Goat owners don’t get on our goat.
