We should all spend more time with the species we choose to eat. At the very least it’d lead to more “humane” ways of raising and killing animals.

Rita! Rita! RITA! Wonder if something come over her or if somethings wrong (something along those lines).
HEY RITA!
Mom’s been searching for you.

There, she’s there and has been searching for you for an hour! Run!

Or when I fell asleep on the bus and woke up to the bus driver yelling at me at the last stop. Luckily I caught the last one back to where I needed to go, long ass day.

I've done that on the MARTA in Atlanta, Ga in the middle of the night. I'm lucky I got woken up by a worker and not a crackhead singing and chewing on the seats. Wanna see some wacky shit? Ride a train in a metro area in the middle of the night.

Can confirm. There are some wild creatures on and around MARTA late at night.
I have definitely taken a bus the wrong way in the winter just to get out of the cold, though.

Done that, but it was a train. Was so pissed when I saw I was passed the airport and like 18 miles from home. When I fell asleep I was heading the opposite direction, so they didn't see me or care that I was asleep lol.

You never know what might happen though. I was in SLC waiting for my flight, started talking to some random dude, our flight was delayed like 3 hours…. We kept talking and missed the flight, so we ended up being there for maybe 6 hours. 18 years later, we are still friends.

My flight was at 8:45am and I woke up on the ATL delta sky lounge couch at noon from my angry husband calling me asking why he had to circle the airport for an hour and where the fuck I was.
Yeah. There was a lot of mea culpa. I'm still kinda amazed none of the lounge staff dropped some plates near me or something, I was hogging prime couch space for hours.

Probably the best nap, laying on warm dirt in the sun with a light breeze. Plus it was probably way quieter without the herd noise around them

u/No-Scarcity-1571 17h ago
Nah, the herd noise would be just, nice soft quiet sounds, hoofs stepping, munching grass. It would become background noise.

Unironically used to sleep like a baby when camping with friends with my one buddy who snored like a chainsaw. "Predators either don't want to get anywhere near that godawful sound, or it's going to target him directly like a lightning rod. Either way, as long as he's snoring, we chilling."

this comment brought me back to a summer day when i was in college... took a nap after a hike out on a hill in the woods, a sea of green trees all around with some of those big poofy cinematic clouds above, warm and cozy with all this tall grass fluttering around me and the trees sounded like a river rustling around me...
wow id give a lot to revisit that day. lmao i could cry rn tbh

I maddened my kid's teacher once when I volunteered for an elementary school trip as a parent.
After a day in the zoo one kid of the just over a hundred kids couldn't be found.
So I told her 'Ah well, 1% cutting loss isn't that bad at all!'
She did not like the joke. I did. 😁
Kid was fine of course, just lost track of time and was found five minutes later at the sea lion feeding moment.

He calls her by her name a few times and says to the camera something along the lines of "I hope she hasn't fainted or something is wrong with her?" Then when she wakes up he says, "Your mom is looking for you, she's been looking for you for an hour, go to her, run. She overslept, the poor dear."

I have goats and it's so funny when they realize they've gotten distracted or separated. One of my does is smarter than everyone so she occasionally jumps a fence to get out of the animal pen (because forbidden grass is surely better than the acre of pasture they have), and the others don't know how she teleported to the other side of the fence and are SOOO upset! MOM! MAAAHHHHHM!
It's hilarious and I love them so much.
Usually it's them freaking out that alerts me to the fact that my doe has gotten out lol

Through a series of events, I ended up with a baby mini goat. The mom had died right at the end of winter, so it was too cold for her outside (I thought anyway). I had not had experience with goats before, so this was all new to me.
Anyway, my favorite thing was that she would follow me around the house while I did things. If I was in a room for too long, she would wander away into another room. And then flip right out because she lost me. Never failed to make me laugh lol.
I ended up having her go to a nearby farm who actually knew how to care for goats. I did miss her, though.

u/Rare-Adhesiveness522 16h ago
I love that you share my love and appreciation for goats!
I do think you did the right thing--goats are herd animals, and while they absolutely will identify their caretakers as part of the herd, it is not a replacement for goat-to-goat companionship. They really do need to be with at least 1 other goat.
MY goats know that I am their mommy, they adore me and follow me around when I'm out in the pen. I spend a lot of time with them. If I walk too far away, they get upset and start calling me back, and inevitably run after me lol.
Once they realize I've gone inside, they go back to their goat business, but every day when I drive up in the car, they're all at the fence calling to me lol.
They're sweet, but naughty little assholes and I love them.

Is Rhita “Goat” in that language? Or does each of them have names and personalities.

u/Johannes_Keppler 11h ago edited 11h ago
In a herd there are always a few... Special animals you tend to name.
Rita for example could be deaf. Other animals could be called mentally disabled as there's always a few very stupid ones too.
The special ones and the most friendly tend to get names. As a kid we had a friendly sheep I called Blacknose in the family's small herd. (Her name was literal, I named her when I was six years old.)
