That little guy made MINE! It's impossible not to smile when you're watching him!

Cute Overload (http://www.cuteoverload.com) kicks my ass every time.

I'm going to own one some day...

It's on my 100 things to do in my lifetime.

That's awesome!

Thank you for that, I'm smiling so hard it hurts.

So I went and looked at a bunch of other goat youtubes, and yep, now I want one. :-) Wonder what the law says about farm animals in Arlington? Hey, I'd never have to mow the lawn. And I love chevre!

Did you check out Part 2 of this guy (Dale Jr)? In the second half he gets a girlfriend to play with!

I've been telling A. for a while that if we ever have to live outside of Boston, my consolation prize has to be my own goat. That one is the cutest.

I've just done some research on pygmy goats as pets. One must be prepared for the downsides, which are

- males must be neutered (to "wethers" not "bucks") as bucks will urinated all over themselves to attract mates.

- regular vet check-ups required as goats don't show illness unless they are pretty far gone (it's a protective measure as they are prey animals).

- because they are ruminants, they tend to salivate and off-gas more than your usual housepet.

- they need special feed, they can't just chomp grass, or else they get intestinal problems.

- they are herd animals, so they don't do well solitary, they need another goat.

- they don't tend to be affectionate back. For that you need a dog or cat. (Though in contrast one website claims they are affectionate (and smart). I guess you'd have to ask someone who already has one.)

Yeah, they are farm animals, not really pets. For my loves and nuzzles, it's cats and bunnies for me. I'd only have a goat if I had some land.
