Let's see your goats in the house photos
After reading the comment that CJB is glad he's not the only one who has livestock in the house, I thought I'd post this doozy. ...all kids went back outside shortly after this. Bad dog - teaches goats bad habits. Goats on the bed, indeed. So busted. 
It's like with human kids - when it gets too quiet, you know something is wrong.

Now which one is the dog?
Now those three look like they've never done anything wrong in their lives... kinda like a two year old youngen covered in peanut butter!
I do like the coloring on all three! Some folks have an aversion to black dogs, but I love 'em! They can hide in any shadow, regardless of how small, at night and once a stranger hears that deep growl coming from no-where they NEVER, EVER forget it!
Beautiful critters!

I have a friend who milks her goat on the front porch. She also admits to letting it inside the front door to milk if it is raining.

I have had many things in the house that don't really belong. An orphaned groundhog baby, The goats have snuck in more than once. the pig comes in sometimes. The chicks are kept in the house for 2 months when we get them and allowed to run in the kitchen free for awhile each day. An injured dove stayed in the house while I nursed it back to health and then released it. And a chipmunk that was injured(Sadly didn't make it.) You just never know what you'll find in the house on any given day here. Afraid I don't have any pics.

Geez, what do you all do about the potty problem? Just walk around behind them and clean it up?

Nope, just let the dogs follow them around. I don't think I've had baby goat poop hit the floor in my house, it's considered a delicacy. Now the pee, I have to clean that up, but it is so dilute it's nothing to soak it up and there's been no odor. The dogs are stinkier by far than any little goat or it's pottying.
Goat's "going" in the house is the least of your problems. It's when they jump up on the coffee table, stand on the remote, knock books and papers all over, and break things that is the problem with house goats.

the only way a goat would get into my house is if it was on the grill first

We tried diapers but they don't work too well. I think goats are more sanitary than other animals we let in our house. Never seen a goat eat a dead animal ,or roll on one,or eat poop. Their poop can be swept up (assuming the dog doesn't eat it first). They also don't lick their butts or anyone elses for that matter. I of course let my dogs in the house too and hug and kiss them.

I like my goats better than my dogs, too. Much more tidy and better behaved.

Here's my brother with Champ - tiniest kid we ever had, one of quads - first freshening mom couldn't raise all of them and we found him gasping, cold, and covered with mud. Slept in a kid's shoe box with a heating pad - and lived the first week inside my coat - went everywhere with me! He was trained to the bell on the microwave - he'd come running because he knew it was time to eat!lol

OMG, how darn cute.... I can't get over how small that goat is. NO pics but, right now my youngest potbelly is running around under my feet playing with the cat. He is right at 12 weeks old and still so tiny. He jumps up on the bed and barries himself under the pillows. too cute.
