Helper Slimes/mini Slimes

[Glitchtisawesomium]

So once again while reading posts late at night, I got a new idea for a mechanic in the game. While reading about how we shouldn't just try and make as much money as possible on the "Richest Rancher" thread, I got the idea about taming slimes. If you could take a specific slime as an individual and do something with it, It could be a helper slime and could follow you around. The slime could be customizable, probably with a bandana like a ranch dog, and would help you gather resources, slimes and fight tarr.
Another Idea I had was to have mini slimes or baby slimes. I'm not sure exactly how they would come about or exist, but when I saw the tiny slimes topic, I couldn't help imagining miniature slimes running around the ranch in large herds before they reached adulthood.
