Goat friendly links
We were amazed at how quickly we fell in love with goats and were not surprised to find out there is a whole wide world of people who feel the same. These links will take you to some of our favorite goat related places on the web so you can join in the fun. We also listed links to a few local businesses that we believe are leading the green revolution in Durham and beyond.

Beth Bakke is a dog's best friend and it shows in the big smiling pooch photos on her blog. Every Tuesday she posts a Photohunt in which one of her canine clients is posing in front of a Durham landmark. If you guess the location correctly, you are entered to win a prize from a great local merchant. It's free, it's fun, and the dog pics are fantastic. Need a dogwalker?
