🐾 STAFF PET SUNDAY: THE "GUARD GOAT" EDITION! 🐾
We promised you that our Staff Pet Sunday series would include the furry, the scaled, and the feathered—but today, we are adding a little extra hoof to the mix! 🐐✨
We are heading home with our ER Technician, Chani, to meet a very unique family member who keeps life incredibly entertaining when she isn't working hard at the clinic.
Meet Nosferatu Baphomet!
*Age & Birthday: He will be 3 years old on the 4th of July! Ironically, despite his patriotic birthday, he is actually terrified of fireworks. 🎆
*The Name: "Nosferatu Baphomet" translates to "Vampire King Devil"—and he completely lives up to his favorite household nickname, Naughty! He also answers to Nos or Feratu.
*Best Qualities: He is a certified "Guard Goat," a professional Baa-er, an expert headbutter, and a "professional cud chewer". 🛡️📣
*Funny Quirks: He has some pretty unique indoor habits. He is completely potty-pad trained to live inside the house! He also has some unusual culinary tastes... specifically, he eats drywall! 🧱😂
*Sunday Vibe & Sunday Rescue: You can usually find him laying in the sun. However, he absolutely hates the rain. If a downpour starts while he's outside, his mommy has to physically sprint out into the storm to save him! ☀️🌦️
From Cat Bed to 85lbs!Chani bottle-raised Feratu from the time he was just 2 weeks old, back when he was small enough to curl up and sleep in a cat bed. Today, he is a healthy 85lb boy! He is also legally registered with the city as an official Emotional Support Animal (ESA), which allows him to live his best indoor life with Chani.
Don't let the "Vampire King Devil" name fool you—at the end of the day, he is a total sweetheart who loves nothing more than napping and cuddling with his mommy.
Who knew our ER crew had an 85lb indoor guard goat on duty?! Do any of your pets have an unusual fear like fireworks, or a funny habit of stealing another animal's bed? Tell us your stories in the comments! 👇
