    Definitely not something that would interest me but I had to share this with pet lovers.

    Caramont farm in Virginia is looking for volunteers to cuddle with baby goats and feed them.

    If this sort of thing would have interested you . . . all the slots are full. Maybe next time :)

    Well I'm no big fan of goats but if this would be done with other animals then it would sound ok. I wouldn't mind volunteering at a place that takes care of dogs for example, too bad there are none around the area where I live.

    Yeh, it's not really something that I'd be too interested about doing either to be honest!

    While I'm not really an animal lover apart from the usual cats and dogs, I don't wish them any harm but doubt I'd be signing up to give them a cuddle!

    I grew up on a farm and raised goats. Baby goats are adorable, and I wouldn't mind having some snuggle time with them. :p

    It's not something which really grabs me but it does sound kind of cute to do. Hope the people taking part have a great time doing it.

    Yeah the babies are cute. I remember we had a few in the back yard, and they still try to headbutt you the little guys.

    This is a feel-good news. :) I guess for animal lovers out there especially the goat loving ones, they really wouldn't mind cuddling with baby goats. I remember a story I've read before about animals which were down with some diseases but they were cared for with love every time they were given medications and it made their recovery faster than the animals who were just casually treated without the vet's caring pat on the animal's heads.

    Well, if I am ever in Virginia and low on cash, I know that I always have options! That is why one should never worry about the economy. If one job industry takes a hit or disappears, there are always other jobs being created in areas you could have never imagined!!
