You don't have to worry about the kitchen. We got that all cleaned up (except we'll need a new range hood, but we can take up a collection plate at the holiday party). And the goat Longcat brought home from Texas is mostly housetrained now. At least he's stopped peeing on the couch. So you can come back any time, it's perfectly safe!
So we've let Howdy into the kitchen. I'm not sure what he's doing in there but there's a lot of smoke coming from under the door. Should I phone someone??
