VOA常速英语:山羊：冉冉升起的派对明星

These mild dwarfs are ready to partying. True Los Angeles party animals, they’re set to entertain. Posing for selfies, offering free hugs and even back massages, these cute animals seem at home, mixing with people and relaxing in the California sun. So cute and little! Oh my god! I love them! So they’re always fun, always entertaining. First I was like, what are you gonna do with goats for two hours, but they are so entertaining. That’s like oh I wish we have them for longer. Scout Raskin started her goat business called Party Goats LA in 2017. For 99 dollars an hour, she brings him miniature pets to any party or event.

The goats really exceeded my expectations. I thought they will be fun, but I didn’t realize how fun they would be. They brought me so much joy that I thought maybe other people in Los Angeles would want to hang out with baby goats, too. Raskin was right, and very soon what started as a hobby turned into a profitable business. Raskin left her job and dedicated herself to the bleating partygoers. They visit up to eight parties a day. These goats are really social animals. They love to be around people. They also can recognize human emotions, so they actually respond really positively to happy human emotions and positive human emotions. Raskin says the dwarf goats are not difficult to take care of. They’re easily tamed and are generally happy along with animals, and people love having kids not only at parties but also at yoga classes.
They’re trained to jump on your back for added core strength. They also will use their front hocks to test your balance if you’re doing like a standing post. Baby goats are fittingly gifts of the homes of people with cancer. Raskin explains, their positivity helps sick patients cheer up and for many it’s easy to see why.
