Don't Try This With Your Dog
Keeping a pet goat is unusual enough in Miami Township, Ohio. But 12-year-old resident David Valentine's goats don't just eat grass, they apparently enjoy more human passtimes too...like jumping on the trampoline. Valentine and his goats D.J. and Blessing frequently bounce together, although this eccentric activity may be nearing its end. Local officials have been cracking down on the Valentines, since goats are prohibited in the town limits. But David's folks are fighting back, claiming he needs his peculiar pets to help keep him focused.
Onions, Anyone?
