How do you girls that have goats transport them when taking them to a vet? I have put goats in my Honda Fit many times and driven them to the vet or to somebody that wants one. How many of you have done this and does it make you a redneck?

Hi Barbara
I don't have goats but I do have a story for you. I work at a nature reserve by my home and one day I was on mt. bike patrol. I came across two people waaaayyy off trail with two llamas. I called them over and explained the rules to them. They were polite and left to leave when I got back to the park office the ranger asked if I had come across these people. I said I did. He asked if I saw them pack up and leave. I said I didn't see them totally leave the park. He showed me a picture of their mini van with those two big beasts kneeling in the back. He said they crawled in from the back door and just settled back. Wish I could ha've seen that. Looked pretty cute and funny in the picture. Probably more funny to other drivers on the I-15.

You would be surprised what you can fit in vehicles. I used to take 3 of my Great Danes to dog shows in my VW Rabbit. They all knew where to go, and it really wasn't that bad, and the sunroof was enjoyed by all. I used to stop at drive-thrus and buy each of them a small hamburger. Got some stares for sure!
Our goats have been put in the back of our minivan, with seats that can be removed. Would love to have seen those llamas!

My husband had a goat named Ebony - he called her his "dog". She rode in the convertible with the top down. Got lots of looks that way. She was at my DIL's and jumped in the car several times and went to Dallas with she and the grandkids. LOL!

I can just picture three great Dane heads catching rays out of the sun roof Lisa.
And Linda, we have convertibles all over So. Cal. but I never seen one with a goat ridin' shotgun. That is so cute.

I LOVE all of these funny stories and the goat riding in the car is great. Even I don't have the nerve to ride around with llamas and great danes. So nice to know there are other people like me. My neighbor used to come down on her four wheeler with her two little kids and pet goat. It loved to ride and I would let it in the house with them.

Even though Ed covered the seats when Ebony was riding, she never peed or pooped in the car. LOL!
