I got a bit of a shock when my daughter arrived in the kitchen with 2 enormous goats on dog leads last summer
We were staying on a Dorset farm and she'd gone to the farm up the lane and asked if she could take them for a walk
She walks all the neighbourhood dogs at home in Battersea free of charge - she just LOVES animals - but one doesn't expect to see five foot tall goats nibbling at the salad in the kitchen!

Oh you townie
My daughter once took her 16.3 thoroughbred into her bedroom.
'Aw come on Mum. He was all tacked up ready to go when I realised that I had forgotten my gloves, and I didn't want to put his halter back on.' - had better explain that the house is single storey, with brick tiled floor, and that Jess has french doors opening into the garden.
Then there was the time that I had a three month old Jersey heifer in the back of the Laser. Fortunately, she was a twin and small for her age. Or the time that I had four lusty teenagers, myself, and a teenage goat in the same smallish car.
Willie the Wether can nut the front door open, and checks out the kitchen for biscuits. One day, while we were out, he ventured in the bathroom, and the door closed behind him. He was most indignant when discovered.
Our recently deceased (aged 9 or 10 - we lost count of the years) chooks
would walk into the house if the door was open, and were often observed attempting to negotiate the cat flap.
None of this would be remotely funny if we had carpeted floors, but brick pavers are reasonably easy to clean and disinfect.
Changing tack: are you willing to share where in Battersea you live? My family lived in Culvert Road, and I participate in an Old Battersea web group.
