Awe!
Sweet animal story ping.
“.......human Sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.......”
I saw this tonight while reading a link from another unrelated thread. It really is something how being bonded to another being is so important... you can’t help but feel the “heartache” that dumb goat was going through... but it’s not just projecting our own loneliness onto animals... it was a real thing. We have all suffered the grief of separation and death.
I’m glad they are back together, but I really have to wonder about the people/person who made the decision to split them up in the first place. Animals bond very strongly, especially under traumatic circumstances.
My sister & BIL had two horses that were long time companions. One died of old age and the other lay down to die. Got her to a vet, expensive recovery, and then boarded her w/ other horses. The others kicked & bit her constantly, and she again got down & died. Hooray for goat-burro love...the agape kind, of course.
What a sweet story.
They didn’t get the burro’s goat.
They got the goat’s burro.
Somehow there is a new figure of speech in here.
Man & Goat go for a ride.
