Buy this house and you can use my lawn mower for free. REO neighbor

Once again, with REO properties you never know what or who you'll find.Goat closeup

Walk softly and carry a big stick could be a good motto!

Look who greeted me today at this new foreclosure property. He was in the neighbor's yard doing a fine job of mowing the yard.

The neighbor said he'd borrowed him from HIS neighbor hoping some of the overgrown weeds and shrubs could be modified.

I think that if he is a loaner, we could use him on this yard because even though it is in town it is a big yard.

Back yardWe really don't need this loaner to be a loner, however, and need to see if he has a few brothers and sisters to help him on this yard!!

I think he was friendly but I didn't test him too closely.

I enjoyed the post and love the picture. I would love to have that Lawn mower.

Barbara, this sure beats pushing a lawn mower. They need to put up a sign, "Friendly goat in the back yard".

Barbara, that is so Green! Meet my lean green grass machine... Max

This is the answer to the prayers of REO asset managers. Natural lawn care.


Next thing we will see will be vests on the goats with the Bank of America Home Loans advertisements.

Barbara, my experience with goats is that they can be TOOO friendly:)

what a great idea... some of my REOs could use a resident lawn mower, fertilizer.. ... ;)

Barbara, just what I need!  And not only are they great weeders and lawn mowers, but they produce great cheese, too!

cute li'l fella, isn't he?

My parents had a pet goat on their farm. He terrorized my older sister because he knew he could. Ate the clothes drying on the clothesline. Dad tells some hilarious stories about the goat but I am sure this one is much cuter and more useful. :) Oh, I'm with Patricia. Goat cheese is the best.  Kate

That's multi-tasking in it's most basic form. Mowing and fertilization with no strain.

Charlie, the goat made me smile too when I saw him.


Gita, wonder how long it takes to mow the yard?


Michael, I was afraid with those horns that he might not be so friendly!


Mary, do you REALLY have a goat machine to mow your yard?  Tell me more.


Roy, what a great idea for commercials!!!


Charles, does that mean you've been butted???

Konnie Mac, so do mine!


Patricia, do you mean Feta cheese?  I do like that.


Alan Elvis!!  I almost didn't recognize you in that ordinary outfit.


Kate, seems to me I also remember how mothers complained about the goats eating anything, including the clothing that was so hard to get back then. 


Ed, I like the term multi-tasking goat!!  Great.


 

I can't say I have ever seen THAT in or around DC.  That would be a hoot!

Barbara,


I often find them onsite when I inspect. You, believe me, want to keep them away from your car. They have been known to get on a car and can really ding it up with their dancing.

Barbara, use to, but now that I live in town he had to say with the place in the country when I moved. His name was Max Sunshine, was a very sweet guy and a good grass eater, he has since passed on.

James, you people in DC are deprived in some ways.  Wouldn't you love to find a little goat in one of your condos?  LOL


Steven, with their eating habits and their dancing habits I guess they really need to be kept in the back yard!!


Mary, Max Sunshine sounds like a great name for a goat!

Mrs Barbara,


When goats are around, I spend my time up the tree.


Nutsy, hot as a firecracker for the 4th


Hi Barbara,


nice goat! Sometimes I wouldn't mind having one around here!

Nutsy, a little goat could never hurt you!  I'd think you'd delight in taunting them and making them butt the TREE!  Have a little fun sometime.  I know you work hard but you deserve a little entertainment now and then.  Ooops!  noticed the outfit!  you are planning to have fun.


Tony, I'm glad you like the goat.  Don't tell the squirlt but I'm liking that goat more and more.

Barbara - There is nothing that can property of unwanted vegetation than goats.  A few years back there was a nearby house on a large cul-de-sac lot, which had become totally overgrown with very tall berry bushes in the backyard.  The new owners, brought over a pair of their cousin's goats, and those goats totally cleared the lot within a week.

Barbara - That goat could either come in handy or be a turn off for some buyers.

Myrl, that is interesting.  I didn't know they could mow that fast!  And just two of them did it?  WOW!


Carol, I thought I'd gone into the country for this REO but it is in city limits. The goat actually lives two doors down to the best of my knowledge.  He is grandfathered in I believe you'd say.

I used to have a nubian goat I named Zubie. She also ate up my back yard so I didn't have to mow. But when I'd take her on walks across the street to the park, little old ladies would come up to me to pet her and say, "Oh, isn't that a lovely doberman."

Elizabeth, surely you jest!!!!!!

Mrs Barbara,


I hope you did not post that photo just to get Nutsy's goat. Goats get Nutsy's goat. They chase me around yards when I wear my favorite fruit suits and it is hard for me to outrun them in the outfits.


Nutsy


Nutsy, another lesson from your god-moma.  NEVER admit your weaknesses.  You chase the goats;  they don't chase you.  You can run up the tree and they can't catch you.  It is also a weakness to wear those AWFUL suits.  The one you wore with this signature is perfectly terrible!  I'm tempted to delete it from my blog because it may make people think I harbor "nuts" on this blog.
