[pct-l] what happened to the boy and his dog?

[pfreiman at ucsd.edu (Freiman, Paul)]

I saw the goat when I stopped by on my way down from Redding and I fell in love with that goat too.  The one question I have is..... I know dogs aren't allowed in the Sierras, but how 'bout a goat?

Sid is Catherine and Rob's pet.  They are from somewhere around Spokane, WA.  He's a one year old wether (neutered male), and is extraordinarily close to his owners. He sleeps with them, and wants to be near them, especially is strange places.  Sid walks inbetween the two humans, does not carry any weight, and is untethered.  They do about 25 miles a day.  His feed is a combination of foraging and alfalfa leaf, which they shake off of bales and bag for the trip.  It's lightweight and not too bulky, and one grocery size bag, tied off, lasts them about a week.  He was just a sweet as could be, and we just loved him!
