Goats are adorable :D
I like the baby ones that jump around

When I was a kid, my best friend and I found a nest of duck eggs and there was a dog nearby trying to get to the nest, so we took the eggs and hid them in my garage and the next day, brought them to her house where her mother kept them incubated and hatched them :)

Unfortunately, they didn't realize that the ducks were completely dependent, so when they "released them back into the wild" they all got eaten by the wild foxes D:

i know that ducks can be kept as pets.

also, yeah, any duck that's raised in the home is likely going to be completely dependent on you.

Circle of life. Not always pleasant, but the foxes deserve food too.

I like their rectangle pupils. They are a bit creepy when you suddenly are eye to eye with one unexpectedly in the middle of the night though. Like we would be sitting in the barn waiting for an in labor goat to drop her kids and suddenly eyeball almost pressing up against yours.

she probably wants privacy, mekatra. /j

I mean, that's all fine and dandy until one of the babies is coming out with a leg twisted or upside down and you have to adjust the baby or possibly lose both of them.


Or if the little one can't suckle and then you have dead kids.

Or if it is too cold and they can't get warm enough to get up and you have dead kids.

There are so many things that can go wrong. Childbirth is dangerous.

yeah, that'll happen.

iirc, i think during the time where kit and tigs (my YTer bro's cats) were giving birth, they had a kitten that was either a stillbirth or was choking to death as a result of something being wrapped around its throat.

idk, i'd have to ask him, but i don't wanna bring up any bad memories for the man.

I don't think it is needed to ask. The exact cause of death doesn't enhance the story any.

mm. still, it's good for clarification.

i'm sort of glad we got all our cats neutered / sterilised. mum says it's bc she doesn't want whiskey spraying.

apparently bubble was supposed to have been done, but he did spray at one point, which... does sort of beg the question as to whether male cats can spray if they're neutered / spayed / sterilised.

If they had already started spraying before they got neutered then they can and sometimes will after the procedure.

Sometimes when you wear those "cat" lenses they turn around while on your eyeball and make you look like a goat. :'D

mm, that might have happened with him, but given that he was from my mother's brother, i have no idea how long they've had the bastard for.

then again, it doesn't really matter, since he's buggered off.

They also make goat eye contact lenses. I met a guy at a festival last year that played a demon (he did fire dancing, and to be honest was hot in more than one way until he took the makeup off) and he had goat eye lenses.

Awwww, looks like a little boer or boer cross. <3 What a precious kid!

Awww.
Such a cute baby!

There's a petting zoo in the town next to time,
I've been wanting to go and pet the baby sheep and goats.

At the Grove there is a farm that sells vegan products and they rescue goats and pigs.
I think it's an animal sanctuary? But my mom loved to buy their lotions and body care.
