Animal Crackers - Oh NO!

Howdy - 

Well once again our "neighbor" ( trying to not call any names in my anger ) once again their workers decided that burning brush when it is over 100 degrees, when everything is dry, dead and with a 20MPH wind is the thing you should be doing one afternoon this week! And the wind was blowing our direction.

I am not sure who was more freaked out - Me - Hubby or the donkeys! The wind did blow the fire across our fence line and about 100 feet onto the back pasture before our fabulous fire department arrived and put it out and wet everything down. It took 3 TRUCKS!

Donkeys were running and bucking and well totally freaking out - Hubby got them all gathered up near the front of their pen, closed them in a smaller area with some feed to try and calm them down. Feed always makes me feel better - 


 

This is the fourth fire they have started in a year and a half. Well Momma here is going to find out who to scream at and find out why they have not been fined and something done! So I think this week I will be on the phone with people to let them know how I feel! 

It is so so so scary to see flames moving across the grass, into the trees on our property. Ok... now onto other things to keep my blood pressure from going up again. 

Oh wait while it is still on the higher side this happened yesterday... 

 

Bad Bad Bad Bubba! Not sure how he got up there - but he did and was trying to jump to the next high piece. Hubby moved as fast as he could to get a chair and get to him to stop him from doing any damage. Sadly... that beautiful antique yellow nappie bowl on the left is no longer with us. Fell to the floor and shattered. That is the first thing I think that any of the kitties have broke. And of course it was Bubba. I was so upset about loosing my nappie bowl. But he is a curious cat and it is part of having them. Bet he better not make a habit of it cuz his he has his first strike now. 

And then his sister Porsche just laying on the window bed snoozing. I think that foot covering her face is to help with the sun, and all the bad activity of her brother.

 
I went out yesterday to check on everyone after all the scary activity of the evening before - Found Miss Juliet "flirting" with Sergio....
 
 
Juliet stop tormenting that poor boy and leave him alone! 
 
As soon as she saw me walking out she moved around the barn to come and see me. But after a few head scratches and attention -


She moved over to Raffie's pen and started her "flirting" with him as well. So much so that the fence panels were pushed over slightly. Have to call Hubby out to stand those back up. 

Juliet... its too hot just give it up! 

It is good to see my fur children hydrating! It is so so hot! And they drink A LOT of water this time of year! 

Hydrate girls! Hydrate! Lacey and Irene have been traveling around together lately. New BFF's I think.

Hope you are all doing well where you are and have better weather there. It is just too hot to do anything out doors at all! 

Have a blessed weekend -

Argh. Some people just never learn. Thoughtless and careless. So dangerous to burn when things are dry. We just had a burn ban lifted here. Surely there is one there this time of year when it is so hot and dry. I hope you get answers. Let know they will be liable for any harm caused to your property and animals. Good Luck. Hope you get some relief from the heat and that Bubba stays off the furniture with glass and pottery.HUGS
