scenes from the petting zoo

You may remember that last year my mom got chickens for Mother's Day. This spring, my parents also got a new goat, Coco. (The much-loved goat Tater died last year.) Coco has been feeling lonely and shy in her pen, but you know how it is: A solution usually presents itself in a rather handy form. Specifically, in this case, in the form of Lil Debbie, a pot-bellied pig. Now Coco and Debbie are BFFs, and nobody has to be lonely anymore, and all is right at the farm. Except maybe with the chickens; those suckers will peck your hand right off if you're not careful.
