Funny that both of you expect her indoors to check your pockets!!
Can't say I'm much different but I do try to make sure they are empty before I chuck anything in the linen box.
In my case more interested in not losing an important piece of paper.
I have also found some weird stuff in washing machines. Bra underires have a bad habit of flipping them up.

Whenever I put on clean jeans always have mashed paper in pockets 😃
 
Goats make very nice pets in my experience. They're very friendly and companionable and enjoy human company. The Billies can be a bit robust in their behaviour, but if you push back at them as they butt you they seem to really enjoy it, a bit like stags rutting. The major downside is that they're very good at escaping. Sheep tend to stay behind their fence, but goats will do their best to climb out, scaling walls and stock fencing with ease. They even accept the bourgeois principle of deferred gratification, as they'll accept the pain of struggling through electric fencing in order to be free later. They eat new shoots and peel the bark off trees so if you've got goats you won't have much else on the property after a season or two. They seem to like brambles and ivy especially, so they get rid of some sorts of persistent weeds.

Even when tethered, they practice a form of shibari rope bondage so you've got to go out and untangle them several times a day. I think they do it on purpose so as to get more attention.

Very good company, but a lot of work.

We considered getting a goat or two in Frogland, cos they eat most things. But they are terribly destructive and will only stay put if you chain them to a stake riven into the ground. so we held off. We have quite a bit of land we just don't use so it is fenced off and of course goes mad with no attention.
Then a neighbour offered to put donkeys on it. This seemed like a good idea and sort of worked out for a while, he said he'd come in at the end of the season and use the gyro thingy on the back of his tractor to cut down all the stuff they wouldn't eat. He did this precisely once. Then each year things got worse and worse, the donks wouldn't eat most of the weeds that were there, they broke down the fence and ate the tops out of W's pampas grass, ffs. Something she planted cos allegedly nothing would eat it. We ended up feeding them, as well as giving them water cos said neighbour paid little attention to them. In the end we made him take the poor things away. Shame as they are sweet animals, very friendly.
Our Parisian neighbours, the wife was brought up dirt poor on a metairie, and she was milking goats from an early age!
At least over there we have our own hens and the eggs are lush!
