Meet Polly, an adorable rescue goat who is blind and suffers from severe anxiety.
Her owner Leanne Lauricella rescued the baby goat and says Polly suffers from neurological problems.
Leanne said the baby goat would often run around and cry if she couldn't find her.
Her owner purchased the costume from a store for Halloween, not expecting it to have such a profound effect on her.
The duck costume helped Polly the goat go from anxious and stressed to all zen and chill.
Theres something about that duck costume that calms her.
As soon as I put it on her, she just instantly got calm. She goes into a little trance. She just closes her eyes and shes out.

As long as they don’t confuse Eid al-Adha with Halloween it should all be cool.
No, dog is a good meal, too...
Aw come on guys, my wife loves ducks and thought a goat dressed in a duck costume was too cute.
I think it’s hilarious-looking, and a funny idea to boot. Doesn’t harm anyone to put a ridiculous costume on a crippled goat, especially if it makes the goat and the owner feel good.

I love my 13 lb weighted blanket, I sleep with it every night I also bough a 6 lb blanket for my grand son. He loves his too.
Apparently it’s that she was obtained from an animal rescue shelter.
Of course, when people are suffering almost any animal that doesn’t think of people as food can serve as a welcome distraction from the pain.
I have my therapy rooster to get me through the Obama administration. Since being subject to hearing a Chicken Little leftwing cock’s sickly crowing all the time, the best solution I’ve found is to drown it out with a louder, closer Barred Rock cock and a flock of hens.
A friend of mine crochets the blankets to be used for children with anxiety. The blankets are SO heavy.
Two legged and four legged creatures like warm fuzzy cuddly blankets, robes and duck costumes.
I can’t really criticize. Whenever I’m stressed out, dressing up like a duck always calms me down. Unfortunately, my next door neighbor always dresses like a rabbit, so we often end up having one of those duck season/rabbit season arguments.
Works for people with anxiety too.

love that little guy. He is having fun.....
So I guess the subliminal message here is a transexual one.
Just like they like to say there are gay animals, there are now going to be claims that some animals “know” they are “actually” a different species.
So the anxiety comes from its know its a duck in a goats body.
Ergo, wanting to be a different gender or what not, is perfectly “natural”.
Weighted blankets are great. I wish I knew how to sew because they are expensive.
I think it is just the sensation of the outfit might maker her feel secure.
I owned a farm and livestock was raised to sustain us but you’re an ass.
Sound hot. Is it?
You most certainly misunderstood the intent of my comment.
I hope so. And if I did, I apologize. When animals become pets, they become family.
Not really. In the summer I aim a fan at my feet and I’m completely comfortable. In the winter I pile a super heavy blanket on top of the weighted blanket.
