BuckyBoo? WetherBoo?
Almost a year ago now, Sunshine had her very first litter of kids. Sadly, I had gone out earlier in the day and had returned to find three kids that had expired, all crowded into the hay rack where she had given birth. Sunshine was inconsolable, bleating in distress. By some miracle, I heard the soft answering bleats of another, very chilled but live, buckling. Sunshine spent every ounce of maternal energy that she would have spent on four kids on that little singleton. I christened him "BuckyBoo," a placeholder name that I tend to give when the probability is that the kid will be sold or otherwise no longer in my herd after a time. I didn't want to give him a "good" name, lest I get attached.

Elf Owl: The Tiniest Owl in the World
When we think of owls, we often imagine large, majestic birds with wide wingspans and piercing eyes. However, the world of owls is diverse, and some species are much smaller than expected. The elf owl (Micrathene whitneyi) holds the title of the smallest owl in the world, standing at just 5 to 6 inches (13 to 15 cm) tall and weighing about 1.4 ounces (40 grams)—roughly the size of a sparrow. Despite its small stature, this little raptor is a skilled predator and plays a vital role in its ecosystem.

Puppy Love
In the beginning he was just a teeny tiny ball of black fluff. He was nervous and would shake until we picked him up and cuddled him close. We were more than happy to accommodate him. He was the most adorable snuggly thing imaginable. He'd jump about so excited when we brought out the leash and took him for walks. At first, he'd tug and he'd pull then he'd lag behind. Sometimes he'd slip right out of his collar. But we gently taught him to walk right by our side. Soon he learned to stay with us, even without a leash. Though he'd tucker out halfway home and I'd have to carry him back.
