We're screwed...simple as that!
Snuggles got to go with us to the local feed store yesterday evening...and boy was she the belle of the ball! I mean we even had country boys (older ones too) "oooohing and awwwwwing"
over her and giving her scratches! I had to chase her around the store too...quick little thing! I was talking to one of the ladies there who raises sheep and she gave me a lot of helpful advise as well.
Well...when we put her to bed last night...she baaaa'd and baaaaa'd for company! She did eventually settle down though. This morning, however, she would NOT take her bottle UNTIL I got her on her puppy pad on the couch...covered her with blankets, and snuggled next to her! After she ate, she dozed off on the couch while I got ready for work! Talk about spoilt!
We know full well the consequences of these actions. We've got an LGD who will "check out" the house every chance she gets...and the goats are right behind her! (We did have to cut off all of their deck access!) Fortunately, I'm not a 'neat freak'...but the cats DO get a little frazzled! We've had chickens in the house...in our living room no less! (Boy did the neighbors at the old place LOVE that!
*sarcasm*)

Haha that's funny about not taking the bottles until she got into her snuggle position. My bottle baby Lottie slept in the dog bed next to my bed every night for at least 2 months

Oh Bridgemoof - I had to regale you all with this little tidbit -
So I'm out doing the feeding chores this afternoon while my 8 year old daughter is inside with Snuggles. I had told her to 'watch' Snuggles as she didn't have her diaper on. So, after feeding/watering everyone nad trying to start a fire in the woodstove (LOOOOONG story), I come upstairs to a child MESMERIZED by her new Tinkerbell movie and NO SNUGGLES! Where is Snuggles? She doesn't know! So w're going through the upstairs of the house - i have the stairs blocked off. Well...we found her...eventually, IN OUR BEDROOM, on the floor all curled up sleeping! Oh boy...she's discovered the warm, dark cave that is our bedroom! She's all upset with me for removing her from it!

Ok...so I'll have to post the photo later...once I get it downloaded...but the cuteness gets even MORE insane!
One of our cats was 'given' to us by our good friends. He's an Egyptian Mau (all fancy!) and was a 'single child'...but alas...the wife became allergic and he needed a furry-friendly home. Anyway...Onorus is a LOVE WHORE...and VERY jealous to boot! He's still somewhat bullish with our other cats if he feels he's beeing slighted in the attention arena. Well...along comes Snuggles...WTH he says! He would growl and snarl at her...then go and try and beat up our other cats to get rid of his frustration (until Larry would 'remind' him who the boss is). Anyways...Onorus realized Lambda-Lou is getting all the cuddles...so he decides to catch more flies with sugar! Now...he rubs up all over her...if she's on my left lap...he's on my right lap! In fact, at one point last night, he was curled up ON her...keeping her warm! Then my daughter brought out one of our angora baby bunnies to play on the couch with us. Well Snuggles just HAD to 'taste'...I mean check out this little furry ball of fun! So Snuggles was licking Astra! So here I am...lamb on one leg...Onorus on the other...Oh yeah...Prince Charming (dd's cat) snuggled ON TOP of Snuggles (under blanket) and Astra hopping on all of us! Talk about DISGUSTINGLY cute! I did manage to get a shot of Onorus and Snuggles cuddling...again...I'll post it later.
So...I have an LGD who thinks she's a goat, goats who think they're dogs, a cat who thinks he's a lion, and a lamb who thinks she's a cat! (Let's not forget the rabbits who think they're cats....a cat who thinks he's a rabbit...do I really need to go on?!)
As I type...Snuggles is at home...in a diaper and her sweater...hobbling around the house - or curled up next to one of the rabbit cages. She'll probably get her diaper off...and my husband won't think to look before he steps and track her business EVERYWHERE! lol THIS is why they're so cute!
I think I've gone from being in "big trouble"...to SOL! lol

Soon it'll be time for you and your husband to build yourself a little chicken coop to live in and let the animals have the house!
