She should know: she has six goats that together provide a quart of milk a day, which she drinks and uses to make cheese and butter. And when the bleating beauties are not grazing in her 1,000-sq.-ft. yard, they're hanging out on the porch of her second-floor apartment in the middle of Oakland, Calif...

The stuff that I do share are things like when my dog got skunked. I actually just needed to know what to use to get the skunk smell off of the dog. I probably could've Googled it, but I thought it'd be more fun to share it with people because I'm sure that there's more than one solution. And there are many...
