Re: Re: Critters as therapy- Meg

I hear you Meg. I love to hang out with my farm animals. Listening to the Moos

and chickens & pigs and hugging my milk goats. They really know how to listen

and while they may not understand the words- they " feel " me and respond with

gentle sweetness and affection.

 

Yesterday I was trying to milk my goats and my hands were smarting and I just

asked my wild child Rhapsody to stand still please and that I couldn't chase her

around. She cocked her head, got on the stand and stood stock still for me. It

was eerie!

Hi

Love your approach. Personnally I sew and play with my puppies. Even if I don't

feel like sewing, my dogs always want attention and they will come to me. All

that unconditional love is like a giant hug.

Oh I wished I lived near you.  I so love animals and truly love goats. 

I lived across the street from a farm and they had beautiful goats.  My

children and I had the run of the fields.  I went to visit the goats all the

time, and sit on the hill with them.  I named each one.  When Buffy had her

baby goats, I carried them over to my house, one at a time, so my children could

see them running around the living room.  OMG, they were all so cute and oh so

sweet.  A very fond memory of those times.

 

I am glad your goat knew what you needed and obliged by standing still.  A

great smile comes to my face imagining that scene.  Enjoy!!  Animals are just

so wonderful and so loving.  They love us no matter what.

 

Thanks for sharing your story.

 

Hugs,

 

Barbara
