  25. Shalice says:

    It’s actually a baby angora goat(: That’s why the hair is so curly…It turns into something like this when it grows up!

  27. Illise says:

    that expression is so cute

  28. pyrit says:

    It’s a wolf, in sheep’s clothing.
    Which would be a woolf.

  29. Ruth says:

    What a precious sleeping angel, curls and all !

  30. BabyOpossum says:

    It looks like little goat-pants is giving him/herself a little head-tilt and “Aaahn.”

  31. Vicki says:

    Awh man! Thanks for the new desktop! X3;;

    Wish I could just rub my face in that floofy back. But then I’d prolly sneeze. But IT’D BE WORTH IT!

  32. SquirrelTV says:

    curly, soft, and cute… oh my!

  33. hon glad says:

    Curly coated cutie.

  34. Subhangi says:

    Love the curly coat!

  35. Helena says:

    thats sooo cute x]
    i want it!

  36. Starlinguk says:

    Right, that’s it.

    *stomps off to Google the difference between goats and sheep*

    Goats don’t have a woolly coat, they have hairy coats. Which gives widdoo lambkins above 1 point in the sheep department.

    Sheep say baa, goats say maa. Right, not much use, that one.

    Goats have their tail up, sheep have theirs down. That doesn’t help either.

    Sheep graze, goats eat laundry. Nope.

    Goats are smart, sheep are stupid. Somebody give the bebeh an IQ test.

    Hmm, basically, the only thing I can find that’s actually visible on this picture is the wool/hair thing!

    From my own experience of living on a sheep farm, I’d say this is a sheep.

  37. Carolinaliz says:

    Makes me want to make a sweater…

  38. Sheepy says:

    See, this just makes me want to take a nap too.

  39. Lucas says:

    Very sneakies!!!!!

    That’s what I want to be when I grow up.

  40. Julie T says:

    Please stop identifying goats as lambs. This is a GOAT (kid). Lambs are much cuter.

  41. skippymom says:

    Meg wants to get our goat. That’s why she insists any curly-haired cloven-hoofed medium-sized farm animal is a sheep.

  42. Guido says:
  43. minerva99 says:

    nope. a goatee-baby (i think that this might be Arno).

    you can see the diff here if you scroll through the pics.

  44. Twodogs says:

    Found this pic of a baby angora goat vs. an ordinary baby goat
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/89692371@N00/515197439

    So could be an angora goatlet or whatever baby goats are called.

  45. debg says:

    It’s an angora goat, producer of mohair.That’s hair, not wool, but it’s especially curly.

  46. skippymom says:

    Kid.

  47. tblue says:

    You always confuse lambs with kids, it seems. Oh, well–both are cute.

  48. Paunchie says:

    where?

  49. Shalice says:

    One of the keys is the ears, peeps:) (Besides the mohair) It’s a baby angora goatie:)

  50. ellie the one and only says:

    It is a goat, END OF STORY

  51. Theo says:

    Really? Can’t wait for the sequel, then…

  52. puddlepeppers says:

    This will absolutely not help to clear things up:
    “Mares eat oats and does eat oats,
    and little lambs eat ivy…
    a kid’ll eat ivy too, wouldn’t you?”

  53. Starlinguk says:

    I’ve seen lambs with ears like that too. Like I said, I used to live on a sheep farm.

    No matter. *googlegoogle*

    Hmm, Shalice could be right, if very young angora kids have curlier hair than older angora kids/goats. I found picture of older ones and their hair is more rastafarian or wavy than curly.

  54. KittyMarthaPoo says:

    This is the reason why I can never eat lamb.

    This little fuzzy guy looks just like my mom’s POODLE! :)

  55. Katrina says:

    or a Bedlington Terrier…itsagooooat. NEEEaahh, not BBBBBBBaaaaaaaa. Very cute anyway.

  56. Kristabelle says:

    Dang, and here I was all ready to type up maresydoatsndozydoats and puddlepeppers beat me to it. :(

    What an adorable little goatlet!!!! Reminds me of ALL of the Nativity Sets that come in little boxes…even though those are suppposed to be lambs…

  57. Kristabelle says:

    P.S. Katrina – wow, I’m impressed! So few people even KNOW about Bedlingtons… but clearly, it doesn’t have little curtain balls (you know those curtains from the 70s that had all the balls hanging off of them?) off his ears…so it can’t be a Bedlington. :mrgreen:

  59. Katrina says:

    Thank you, Laura J.

    My knowledge of Bedlington Terriers comes from being glued to several decade’s worth of Westminster Kennel Club Championships. I craved cute waaaaay back!

    What a wonderful thread this is!

  60. Rachel says:

    Whether goatlet or sheeplet, being borned is HARD WORK.

    He’s just tie tie, that’s all!

  61. Molinchka says:

    I grew up with angora goats. Sometimes if a mother would have twins, since she only had enough milk for one, she’d reject the other. Long story short, I grew up with little kids running around my house with diapers on, they’re little tails wiggling through the holes we’d cut in the butt of the diaper for comfort.

    Also we named them all after 50′s celebrities, the Everly brothers a pair that we raised by hand, and remained sweet their whole little goatie lives.

  62. Haley says:
