I was walikng Max this morning when we approached a house a block south of me that had a new fence around its yard. That's not unusual: people put fences up all the time, for whatever reason. This was a chain-link fence, again not unusual, except that this one is about five feet high, rather than the usual three.
As we got closer, I caught a glimpse of a fair sized critter through the links, and thought, "That's a big dog." But I was wrong. it wasn't a big dog, it was a small horse! A pony, to be exact. It was just standing in the yard, nibbling the grass. I was a bit surprised, and wondered if keeping a pony in town was legal. But it must be, else the people who own it wouldn't have spent all that money. I know keeping 'livestock' in town is illegal, but ponies probably don't fall under that catagory. I might have to look into this, as my curiousity is piqued.

I've been thinking that you should build a coop and raise some chickens (for eggs) - put that back yard of yours to some use! Urban farming is all the rage these days, and factory farmed eggs are nutrionally and ethically unsound (in case you didn't know).
