Marsupial Babysitter

Why limit selective breeding and domestication to such a narrow range of species? There is a farm down the road from my house, the owners of which have some eclectic tastes in pets. These include; 1 Alpaca, 1 giraffe, and 2 wallabies. I have seen the lady sitting on the front porch with a wallaby in her lap. Obviously they can be tamed and trained.
Now all I need to do is get a farm with 20-foot high fences and a wide selection of kangaroos, and begin breeding selectively for tractability, passive nature, friendliness, loyalty, calm temperment and nurturing, motherly tendencies. (I know these traits can be selected for and can breed true - Example: I had a bunch of pet domesticated rats, some of which got loose and began breeding in my tool shed. Every now and again I see one of their young ones go scuttling past. Several times when I have reacted fast enough, I have reached out and grabbed one as it went by. They'll give me a nip sometimes, and then go all passive. Try that with a wild rat! You'll be able to see through your fingers!)

Envision walking down the street, your kanga-nanny bounding behind you, your one-year old giggling and gurgling from within Kanga's pouch. Surely the "hopper" would soon replace the "stroller" as the accepted form of baby-transport. Plus, your child would have developed immunity to motion sickness and have no fear of falling.
What happens when baby outgrows kanga-mom's pouch? No problem - you still need a diaper bag. After little Timmy outgrows diapers, Kanga can carry your purse. Also, having seen male kangaroos 'box", I believe the kanga-guard breed of loyal guard-roos would be a boon to all those who want protection for their child or for themselves.

We do not reccomend the "seeing-eye kanga", as we are having problems in the training program. We intend to solve these by the development of the autopilot pogo stick so that the visually impaired can keep up with their 'roo.
