Others Have Goats

Some people have puppies  Others have goats  Some people have kittens  Others have goats  Some people have small children  Others have goats  Some people have tiger tanks  Others have goats

I figure that goats happened when God decided to mix puppies and deer together.  The result was a species of adorable, devious critters that are nearly as efficient as wrecking balls, can exploit even the tiniest holes in their enclosure, and will happily ingest anything remotely vegetable in origin.  The good news is that all of this makes the excuse "the goat ate my homework" surprisingly plausible. 


For the record, most cats I know would try to eat the string too.

We Have Priorities

Mel works on homework while Pearl and Carmine fight:  You two really should stop trying to kill each other  Pearl: Give me one good reason why  Mel: Bloodstains on the carpet will come out of your deposit  Exchange glances  Pearl: Gosh, Carmine  Your hair looks fabulous today  Carmine: That blouse looks so cute on you, Pearl  Mel: Okay, this is scarier

Ah, one of the joys of apartment living. 

Though given their track record, they're still probably not getting their deposits back.

Prickly

Girl covered in bandages bandaids joyfully hugs a hedgehog
 
Alternate title:  "Cuddle Hazard."  True love knows no prickles. 


Fun fact #1:  A group of hedgehogs is called an array or prickle. 

Fun fact #2:  I just discovered that my home state will allow African Pygmy hedgehogs as pets, but not European hedgehogs.  Weird stuff.
