Animal Crackers - Round Bales

Howdy -

It's that time of year - We brought in round bales for the ladies pen in the back. There is nothing for them to eat back there now. It is all pretty much dead now. And they eat our square bales way to fast, so round bales as much as they cost are better for the larger group of ladies. All though I do wish they would step away from the buffet for a bit now and then! Sigh... 

They stick those head in and chow down! I finally got Patti to turn and look at me for a photo. She snorted at me then went right back to her hole and started eating again.

Found Chipmunk snorting as well... He was really in a mood! Flirting big time with the girl goats! Who didn't give a care at all that he was working so hard to get their attention. Was really kind of sad... Poor guy. Snorting, Rolling his Lip, Banging his horns on the fence... and then finally giving up and going to lay in the shade. Dumb Girls....

Went to see the Chickens. Our neighbors have LOTS of chickens, and LOTS of Roosters. Who "visit" quite often and make lots of noise. My girls try and ignore them. But you know how hard that can be with obnoxious young boys ... especially for the older ladies like Spec. 

 

We really don't now how old she is.. she was full grown when we got her and we have had her for years now. We love her, she is such a sweet friendly chicken. 

The other chickens are great - but none are sweet as Spec... ;0)

 

Now Hubby and I needed our little cooler this last week. Pulled it out and left it on the kitchen floor. Um..... I think Bubba likes it and decided it was a very soft bed! But then again he will sleep nearly anywhere!

 Hope you enjoyed this week and have another Animal Cracker Smiles!

Animal Crackers - Sitting out with Hubby

Howdy - 

Was sitting out with Hubby while he was working the other day - the three stooges came to see what was going on. They are so curious you know. Teddy bear came up closest first and I said boy come here! What is all over you!!

Oh my Big Guy! Where have you stuck you nose! Heck your entire Face!

Poor Guy has tiny little stickers all over his face!! And neck!! I sat there and picked off as many as I could as long as he would let me. Got about 1/2 of them and then he saw that "Dad" was coming with a bit of hay for the three of them so he said "Thank you" but food was more important than the troubling stickers. And he took off to the feed rack. Lol Funny man! 

I went over to chat with Jorge for a bit. He was being very very vocal. And very loud! So I gave him some attention. And then we chatted some about his very impressive whiskers. He really does have the most impressive whiskers!! hehe

Next I headed over to check on the goats. Only three lady goats now. Penelope and Lizzy were chillin' in the shade of the tree. But then I heard Jackie banging her horns on the hut. And doing some damage as well! I explained that she knocks another roof off before winter she is going to regret it! Yea right... She knows Dad will go in and fix it...

Then a quick look to check on the lady donkeys. Couldn't find Vickie for a bit... Then I saw her white head pop out. She was hiding deep in the shade of the brush to stay cool! 

 

Smart Vickie! I called out to her to get her to come out and see me. Nope she was just fine where she was, especially since I had no snacks for her. Snacks make the world move you know. 

Hope you have your Saturday Animal Crackers Smile! Have a wonderful Weekend -

Animal Crackers - Sweet Face

Howdy - 

Quick Post today - Running Late to get to work. And most everyone was head deep in breakfast. I went out and Cocoa actually let me talk and give her a head rub. That is a nice big plus for to start the day. So sweet. 

 

She must have already been out grazing most of the morning as she was sweaty. But she realized that breakfast was there so she headed over for that! yummy! Valentine didn't want to look up at all for me as you can see! 

I got a pretty photo of Chica - All shiny and clean! She got a bath late the day before. Boy this girl HATES bath time!!

But once done she bounces all over the house, happy and clean. And she sleeps so well!! So pretty! 

I snapped this photo the other day... It always cracks me up to find one of the kitties laying in their window bed watching the donkeys just outside the window.

I sat there for a long while hoping that one of the donkeys would turn around... sometimes they will come up to the window and put their head against the window to look in... it is a total stare down at that point. Really funny to watch. LOL One day I will get that photo!!

This next photo is Bitter Sweet. End of the day last bales to load.

 

A great feeling - The last few bales of hay in the field to gather up for the barn. The last bales of the year. So we now we pray we that we have plenty of hay for the winter all put up and ready. It is a great feeling to see a full barn - 

Sorry a little short this week. October is our busy month, and this year they moved our show up a week so we seem to be a bit more behind than normal. Oh well we work well in a panic right? LOL 

Hope you have an Animal Crackers Smiles! And we pray for all those effected by the Hurricane - People and Animals!
