An ingenious solution, to a nonexistent problem.........

I think @BehindBlueI's really wants a miniature giraffe. The struggle is real!

You could dye/spraypaint a miniature poodle, or a goat, and with some clever work with the shears…

Hmmm. Starting to wonder about you having goats now..... You didn't serve in Iraq or the Stan, did you?

We've got all these egghead scientists, engineers, biologists, etc. How come nobody has figured out how to bonzai a giraffe so you can have one as a house pet? Tell me that wouldn't make someone a trillionaire overnight.

They screwed us on jetpacks. I at least want a damned minature giraffe.

It really should not be that hard, just DNA/gene splice with miniature horses and keep getting them smaller. kinda like they did with dogs breeding over thousands of years they do quickly with technology. Just need someone to fund it…

Remember this one, that started the whole mini giraffe craze??

That is some of the worst cultural appropriation I have ever seen.

Oh Mr. Biden, Mr. Biden...I've got another great way for you to spend some more of our tax money.

Buy a baby llama or alpaca, smallish for a while, long neck, available for not much dough, eats grass and grain, knows when to drink. Can saddle and ride one when they get larger. Will carry large loads without complaining.

At my age a goldfish makes too much noise. I won’t be contributing to the trillion dollar idea. No more pets for me!

If only it was good for the environment. I mean like, smaller giraffe farts, smaller carbon footprint or less eco damage. They would bust the annual budget to make them......

You have to have a moon roof.

See they are real!

Should see the neck infection on a giraffe

I believe that would be called a "sore throat".

UAE and KSA. They had a lot of goats too. So does South Texas as it turns out.

But no goats at Rancho Alamo.

Does anyone else think the stress of BBI, s promotion might be affecting his mind?

LOL. I'm thinking a long week and a little bourbon.

We have a concrete giraffe about 3 feet tall that is in our upstairs loft....which I can only imagine is due to me doing something that made my wife mad when we were moving in.

With miniature giraffes (MG's) comes government regulation. I can see it now, ATF&E will become ATF&E&MG (miniature giraffes). You'll have to pass an "instant" background check to purchase. If your MG dealer doesn't get an immediate response, you'll have to wait 3 business days to go pick up your MG. Some MG stores will require that they walk with you through the store to the parking lot and place the MG in your vehicle so customers won't be alarmed. Some states won't allow you to take your MG out of your house without a permit and will only issue permits upon proof of need. Some states will have height and weight restrictions and different definitions of "miniature", as well as, "giraffe". There will be activists who will demonstrate to get the MG's off the streets. Some municipalities will have MG buy back programs.

Though with a miniature giraffe, the coffee might still be warm all the way down.
That, alone, should be enough reason.

You and a giraffe both have only 7 neck vertebrae
