When I go walking, I want to know where my dog is, and also let others know my dog is there

We just have someone constantly scaring someone ))
I wanted to get goats, but the plan was to keep one male goat and two female goats. But somehow it turned out that I bought 4 female goats, and they quickly multiplied, there were 37 of them, not counting the kids. And I'm not a farmer! I just live outside the city and don't have any full-fledged farm (with large fields). As a result, I had to constantly herd them, but I always have a lot to do at home and I don’t always have time. So in the morning I had to throw them some nonsense, like branches with leaves from bushes cut down for power lines, they ate, and I did my business. And in the evening the herd was very hungry, this was clearly not enough. And we went for a walk. Night was coming, and we were still walking, climbing through the bushes, goats, and I there too. Well, we often accidentally scared late passers-by - bushes, dark, and someone rustling in the bushes constantly breaking branches. People thought that it could even be a bear.
Once a late mushroom picker was walking with a basket full of mushrooms, the goats were interested in this basket and the whole herd ran after him, trying to take the basket away. I had to chase them away with a stick, the male goats were especially impudent. That is, the man was walking in the middle of the night, and they almost attacked him ))) But when a dog with a glowing collar appeared from the bushes, I was the one who got scared. It really was not visible, but the collar glowed, like some kind of ghost. To understand, I will say that the nights here are noticeably dark, if there is no moon, then you can’t even see the outstretched palms of your hand. In addition, as a child I watched a movie about the Hound of the Baskervilles, the Soviet film was very similar to what I saw in the bushes. There, they also drew something brightly glowing on the dog )))

Animals somehow multiplying, how come this sounds familiar, not with goats, but with chickens , my friend has a male dog ( he is beautiful) and always eagerly offers him for my in heat bitch, but one dog is enough, and I know myself, I have a very hard time selling one of my hens, I can’t even imagine giving away one of “my” puppies , so sorry, doggie, no pups

Well, I still had to sell some of the goats. Most of the buyers were Muslims, they bought the goats for a religious holiday. What can you do, goats are farm animals, not all of them will live to a ripe old age. In general, they usually eat sheep on this holiday, but there are not many sheep in the Moscow region, or rather, you can buy them, but they are much more expensive than goats of this breed. Although other breeds of goats can be very expensive. I have a "simple" breed of goats, although I personally like them very much - they are undemanding to feed and have existed for a very long time in this climate.
In general, many people in Russia do this, managing to sell eggs for Orthodox Easter and sheep for Muslim Eid al-Adha. I think if America weren't overseas, they would have adapted to selling turkeys as well, having learned when Thanksgiving Day is.

Although I personally sell manure more often than meat. Manure is readily bought by gardeners and flower growers. I simply pack it into empty bags and sell it for 100 rubles per bag (that's about $1).
