I sometimes give them nicknames XD
NO WAY! I wanna be a vet too. Is there anything you wanted to specialize in? And what's your major?

Please be a large animal vet. There are not nearly enough of them. >.< And I see you have chickens so you understand the pain. XD
o.o A lawyer sounds amazing, but difficult and expensive and hard to do.

you know horses and how to ride? That's amazing. I just love horses. I've been riding for about six or seven years at this point and I just love horses so much. They're so full of personality

Oh my gosh. o.e I have one, but he's kind of useless. XD Like, my bottle baby goat was sick and not eating. So I had him come out TWICE, and he was like "Ah, it's nothing." So I made him do a, uh, test to see if there were any parasites or coccidia. He was like "Well it probably won't even show up with anything." And then later he called to say "Yeah, it's coccidia. I don't know how to treat it or have the medicine for it so good luck." I about cried because I was so frustrated because they don't sell the proper goat coccidia medicine in farm stores, and I didn't know what to do. >.> And like, it means death. Okay, okay... I am calm. XD
Anyway, I noticed those chickens and kept meaning to say something. I love chickens so much. ;-; They are my favorite kind of livestock... even though in accounting principles, they don't count as livestock. XD Anyway, anyway... Are those Easter Eggers? ;-;

QHs are great. Definitely one of the best breeds. I also like thoroughbreds and saddlebreds and Morgans. Or crosses. Crosses are pretty great too. We had a draft cross at one point and he was just so amazing And I've never worked with one but Fresians are just beautiful

Awww, that sucks ;w; Poor little goat. Coccidia medicine shouldn't be too hard to get with how common it tends to be. It's easily treatable with the medicine, but you need the medicine to treat it ahh Is the goat doing better or anything though? ;w;
Chickens are my favorite animal honestly I have a nice sized flock right now and they have some of the sassiest personalities I've ever seen in chickens xD They are! ;w; i have a few Easter Eggers along with all my other big babies

She was so freaking large oh my god, but she was just gorgeous. Fresians ah<3 My cousin once worked with a QH/Arabian cross. He had that jug head going on and he just looked so derpy

Waffles... you are lucky we weren't friends at the time. XD I was so peeved.
Everyone was giving me horrible advice and she almost died. Finally I was just like "I am DONE. Here's what's happening." XD
The problem is that the FDA(?) passed laws prohibiting the sale of sulfadimethoxine, which is what you use to treat coccidia in goats. Corid is still available, which is great for rabbits, cows, etc. However, Corid kills EVERYTHING in the gut, which is bad for goats. Not for other species for some reason, though...? XD I guess Corid kills thiamine, which ironically a goat needs to help fight off disease. But it can be remedied with a Vitamin B shot and it's this whole roundabout deal. >.> Anyway, I got a hold of sulfa from our breeder, and she survived... although it was a really long process and I spent a good week getting up every four hours to force feed her with a syringe because she wouldn't take a bottle. And I was working and had school full-time so I was exhausted. XD Like, she literally forgot HOW to take a bottle. >.> I had to re-teach it to her. But she's ten months old, alive, and happy. XD With her sister. =3
Chickens are in my top three favorite animals, right next to dogs and goats. XD Sassy chickens are the best, though. XD I love Easter Eggers! ;-; I have a few of them and they are the best.

Morgans are great. I used to ride saddleseat so I was working with a lot of saddlebreds and Morgans and they're both great breeds. Morgans are just so beautiful and every one I've met has had a great personality I want a Fresian someday but idk if I'll be able to... I'm not extremely picky about breed as long as it can do what I want to do (which is jumping right now and likely jumping in the future but I'd also like to try western) I'm honestly not huge on Arabians. Maybe because I've only worked with one and he, uh, wasn't exactly great...

It still feels weird to be Waffles now I don't blame you Blaze. That sounds extremely irritating, annoying, and frustrating. But I'm glad she's alive

Dang, I'm glad she's alive. I bet she's your pride and joy after all that work and time you've put into her. She's a fighter it seems<3
I've also got some RIRs, Leghorn/RIR crosses, Polish, Silkie mixes, a black Orpington, and just mutt chickens in general xD
That sucks with the Arabian. I've never really messed with them, only that once when my cousin was working with one. I would love to have a Fresian one day as well, though knowing me I'd just end up with some good ol' QHs

Honestly I'll probably try to get a thoroughbred. They're great. I'm also a big fan of big horses. But yeah my favorite horses that I've personally worked with have been QHs and thoroughbreds. And a couple crosses

It was the worst. But her and her sister love us more than food now and follow us around like puppies, so I guess it was worth it. XD And she's great with being handled. XD
Leghorns are... crazy. XD I have a couple of those left. Silkies are so fluffy. <3 I'd like to get a few for the broody nature. XD And Polish are just funny looking to me. And I love black Orps! <3 I'm jealous. I've got Silver-Laced Wynadottes, Black Links, Buff Orps, Leghorns, Isa Browns, Barred Rocks, Easter Eggers, RIR, and... I swear I'm missing a breed somewhere? XD And then a trio of happy ducks. I want more Orps. Orps are my favorite and I think I'm going to aim for breeding them. XD Although I've got a really gorgeous Barred Rock/Buff Orpington rooster. He is huge.

I think I'd like to have a retired Thoroughbred one day. Just to let them relax and chill, ya know?
I'd say it was worth it ;D
My Leghorns are interesting little ladies. They always fly up on my shoulder when I go into the pen. I had Silver-laced Wyandottes at one point :'D I've been meaning to get some more, or maybe golden-laced ones. Orps are so friendly and fluffy-fat<3 I'd totally go for breeding them He sounds adorable! My rooster right now is a little Polish boy named Feliks. I also ended up with two Easter Egger roosters, but they know who's boss so they don't fight or step out of line xD

Golden-laced are better looking, in my opinion. XD Orps really are. <3 I took my rooster to the fair and held him for kids and they kept poking him in the face and he was so cool about it. XD But I also loved Barred Rocks because they are also relaxed and friendly. A Polish rooster. That is adorable. XD I'm imagining a little tiny rockstar ruling all those ladies. My main rooster was living happily with his sons until a couple months ago when everything ended badly. Now his sons live with the ladies and he is a grouchy, retired old man that spends his days alone in the goat pen. XD I tried giving him a few hens to keep him company and he was a jerk and attacked them so he lives alone in his grouchy old age.
