It's a zoo

Today was free admission at the Knoxville Zoo so everyone from McBee went. It was crazy busy but we had a lot of fun, and a lot of garbage food but we won't talk about that. The youngest McBee was my favorite because every single animal was his favorite. Which led me to contemplate my favorite animals at the farm.

I talk about Big Pig aka Bacon a lot so you know how I feel about him. In truth he is hilarious to watch but he's not very interactive. I like the calves and enjoy bottle feeding them but they get a little demanding and whine like toddlers. The ducks are just kind of meh. They yell at me when I come in their pen but it's fun to watch them quack around. I never see the rabbits at all so I have no opinion on them at all.

I love the big cows. Their sad eyes make them look much deeper than they probably are. It doesn't hurt that Lucy is obsessed with cows, they are clearly her favorite. The baby chicks are squawky and adorable, who doesn't love a baby chick? I think we have a hundred right now. The big chickens are awesome. They refuse to stay put though and show up in the most random of places. They always appear very busy. The colts live across from me temporarily and Lucy loves to feed them. Monday was the first time they have come to me and taken the hay out of my hand so that melted my heart. Big fan of the colts. You know I love the cats and dogs, they are in my house enough at least.

That leaves... the goats! I am nuts for the goats. I really adore them. They just wander around doing goaty things and you never know where one will pop up. Are you sensing a trend, I love the animals who wander about the most. That's not the only thing though, they are just hilarious. Some of them look like the classic story book goats. Some can leap a fence in a single bound. Some are super sweet and love my baby. I just love them.

Speaking of which, I made kris track one down at midnight last night. It kept crying over and over so I was sure it was either hurt or in labor. Nope, just couldn't get where it wanted to be. He was thrilled to go hunting for a goat using only my iPhone flashlight.
