TGIF memes and “Let the weekend begin” messages mean nothing to people working on Saturdays. Attending meetings and battling deadlines over the weekend often has us obsessing over existential questions like What’s the meaning of life? and What is my greater purpose? At other times, we fantasize about off-beat jobs where we can be around adorable balls of fluff aka baby animals.
And this video of a man adorably hugging baby goats on a farm makes a great case for a career switch. Take a look.

The snippet was first uploaded by ‘Foy Farm’ in March 2019 and went viral after ‘The Pet Collective’ (which curates the best pet videos) shared it on TikTok. The ‘About’ section of Foy Farm’s YouTube channel reveals,
“We are located in New Braunfels, TX. Our animals include Gypsy Horses, Clydesdales Horses, Goats, Pigs, Donkeys, Alpacas, Bunnies, Miniature Scottish Highlanders, Sheep… The reason for all of these animals? Pure joy. Every animal that we have ever had is still with us… We couldn’t imagine life without them.”
Watching all this cuteness has Twitter collectively saying, “Be still, my beating heart!”

While most people were busy offering their services as “Assistant baby goat hugger”, some noticed that the white alpaca didn’t get one.
