Baaaaa

I worked my first night at the petting zoo/farm tonight. Did an hour of data entry and an hour of feedin' critters. Baby goats, baby cows, baby pigs. There were some baby sheeps in there, too, but they'd already been weaned off the bottles, but weren't too happy about it. So while I fed one calf, I let the lamb suck (and chew) on my other hand

It seems very sad, somehow, that they don't keep the older animals. No adult animals at all? All the petting zoos I went to as a kid had adults.

I'm really glad you have a job you like, though. I've sort of been wondering if your forgetfulness at work is just your subconscious telling you that this isn't a job you belong in, and if you don't believe it, it'll make it impossible for you to function. I hope it goes really well, and that your allergies don't start acting all crazy from being around so many furries.

Also, some friends of mine have chickens in their backyard. They wanted five hens but got four hens and a rooster. Their neighbors complained about the dawn alarm clock. So they ate the rooster. I don't know what the moral is here.

Yes, I do think it's sad that they don't keep the older animals, but for now I'm trying to look past that. They do have two adult pigs, both girls, so I imagine they use those for breeding. Also, a lot of the ducks and geese are adults. The bunnies get fattened up for (I covered my ears) and he said, "Whatever you want to fatten them up for... ) But the babies are cutest, so that's who they take to the parties
