Okay! Good to know! And Thanks a lot! :) just glad to share my birds with people who like to see them as much as I do! With bio security you don't get to show off too much.. without risk.. even shows are sketchy.. this is my first year.. I might just avoid them..

That is so terrifying. I wish I could unread that!!!

Lol, leave it to Sandy!

So I am going through the pictures thinking "oh wow nice birds, and aaawwwwh baby goat and then AAAAH drop the phone! Drop the phone! Actually I didn't know spiders could be so..... pretty... did I just say that. You have awesome birds and if some day I'm in your area, I am just going to keep on driving, maybe even hit the gas a little extra, hahaha!

Made me think, did you guys here about all the poisonous snakes that were stolen from a home? They must have known what they were after otherwise the news would have been, "group of burglars found dead in home".
Hahaha!! They are so cute and fuzzy! Mine only get to 7 inches.. just little guys.. goliath bird eater tarantula gets up to 12 inches leg span! Just think of all those poor people that have to shake out their boots to check for snakes and spiders... I sure love Canada! I'll take the cold!!
Wait. I live in Canada and ALWAYS check shoes and boots for spiders and if I have doubts the central vac nozzle gets shoved down just for extra reassurance.

Ever heard of someone leaving their vehicle on the side of the QEW and walking away because a MASSIVE HUGE FAT FUZZY SPIDER WITH CLAWS that picked a fight with me while it was walking across the dash board? No? Well now you have. Josh came - thankfully he was close by, it was exceptionally hot out that day. Killed it and I was able to carry on.
It was hairy! And claws! Like a crab looking thing that shuffles sideways. Omg. Nightmares coming my way tonight.
Now my truck has EO of peppermint in it. On cotton balls. No spiders.

Kathy, you have to get your goat story/experience and put it here.
He needs to understand why you say no goats. Ever. That story was so funny yet enough to deter me from ever having goats !!

I have 2 of our 3 goats in the house wearing diapers....because the mom wouldn't take them, and it's too cold outside! At a few days old they start doing back flips off of anything and everything!!

Yeah in my experience sheep are little angels! Although I do only have shetland sheep.. and goats are little stunt man/demolition team/ escape artist/ jump your garden fence and eat every thing there is to possibly eat! If you like chasing animals from one end of the field to the other.. goats are for you!

Lol. Absolutely correct rooster rick.
The trick, i found, is to get a bucket and throw a handful of cow corn in, go to the middle of the property, shake the bucket like mad and run for the goat pen. Magically they would appear 99% of the time. That 1% though......one day they had managed to get into the hay mow, second story of the barn accessible by what we thought was ladder only.....they were enough to drive me insane!!!

Interesting article, I guess we all need a reminder sometime that in nature everything has it's place and an important role to play (accept mosquitoes)
I am not really bothered by spiders, although I do prefer that they live outside ;) but my first encounter with a wolf spider was a bit startling, one of the poultry pens consists of a large wooden frame about 6 feet high, and one day a bit of a thing hanging over the edge sort of looked like a tarantula leg, so the joker that I am, I poked at it and said... it's not a spider is it??
and a head and half a body of what looked like a striped baby tarantula came over the edge and said ;" it sure is" ...at least that's what I heard as I booted it out of there ;)
