Today was a good day in animal land. The sun finally came out for the afternoon and I must say the farm pets enjoyed it thoroughly. In this picture the mother goat is nearly asleep. The goats are so fair weather that they won't go out of the barn for water when the wind blows, let along when it's snowing. The chickens love the goats for some reason and the goats don't seem to mind the chicken ladies too much either.
The donkey boys like the sun to shine too! They were caught several times throughout the day laying down and just soaking it all in. That is, when the mother goat isn't chasing them and stomping her feet in their direction. Funniest thing I have ever seen as that darn goat is afraid of her own shadow but acts very tough when the donkeys are around. You should see a pygmy goat put the sneak on a pair of miniature donkeys. It's almost sad. It really seems to empower her, nutty goat.
What adorable photos of your animals Heather! Your donkey photo especially is stellar! Your world is so full with all these sweet critters. ;>))
ReplyDeleteI bet they all enjoyed that sunny day! Those are some cute photos.
ReplyDeleteSunshine! And your animals always look so healthy and happy.
ReplyDeleteThey are all so sweet and I neede to go somewhere to get warm.
ReplyDeleteWhat personalities!
ReplyDeleteOh too cute!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of fun there with all those cute animals :)
ReplyDeleteHi Heather! Such uplifting pictures! They put me in a good mood. Thank you!
ReplyDeletegosh I love your farm animals! Goats & Chickens Horrah!
ReplyDeleteHi Heather, My pigmy goat also wont go out in the snow. We put water in the barn for him and the mini. For me there is a downside to having animals in the winter ... the horse poop is frozen solid in the pasture and I can't shovel it up. It will be a lot of shoveling come the spring thaw! However, I would still like to have lots more farm animals like you! Pamela x
ReplyDeleteGo figure. I think you're all crazy for the snow, but it does make pretty pictures.
ReplyDeleteeverybody looks healthy and happy, and the good news is that winter is at least half way over!
ReplyDeleteHi Heather~~ Your animal antics are most entertaining. They've got such personality, don't they? It's always fun to read your posts.
ReplyDeleteThe sun shines to the west of you too. Fancy that. I was wondering if the clouds would ever clear.
HI Heather,
ReplyDeleteThe animals seem to take winter in stride, unlike us humans. Sometimes I wish I did not know how long winter really iS!
Cute pics
Oh, I just love those chickens and donkeys and goats! What a wonderful place you have.
ReplyDeleteCute goats, Heather. My kiddos don't seem to want to go outside much lately, either. I keep prodding them in that direction to burn off the excess energy that otherwise goes into squabbling amongst themselves. You probably don't have that problem with your goats, though!
ReplyDeleteI guess that's why we have animals, so entertaining!
ReplyDeleteLove your pics of the goat asleep, the fat hens and the donkey boys. They're all adorable!
Great pictures I wish I had enough land to have animals.
