It this particular instance, I chose the friend's house in question both because she's awesome and, at the moment, she and her family are caring for 7 vizslas and 2 goats. Yes, they have a fenced in yard.
First the goats. The goats live outside. Goats will eat pretty much anything , and in this case they're primary function is to consume any and all poison ivy on the property. Goats are the Honey Badgers of eating whatever. They no give no fucks. No fucks at all. My friend's goats hop along the wooden railing along the outside of the porch so as to avoid being harassed by the multitude of dogs they occasionally share the yard with.
My friend has had two female vizslas since I met her years ago, Bounce and Fi. About 6 months ago, Fi had puppies, and from that litter, they kept two of her girls (Kitty & Ms. Hudson). About 2 months ago, Bounce had puppies. Seven more rugrats tooling around the house. Two of those little boogers have already been adopted, leaving five soft sacks of puppy energy are still wiling around the house.
