Bill

I finally got all the hair off of Bill. I know he is hot right now. He seems like he is still liking being in the pen on his own though, so I am going to leave him that way. If he continues to act like he is super hot, I may have to move him back over there where there is a fan, but I am not sure if he is going to be okay with that or not. There is something about Prada that he is scared of. I wish I knew what that was. For not, I am going to leave it alone. 

Hot

It is certainly hot out. The chickens were making themselves at home in all the water around the property. They were playing in the water and the mud to stay cool. These animals know what to do when they are hot. Their instincts are right every single time. 

Cinderella

I saw Cinderella eating the hair off of Tinkerbelle. Ted used to do that to Bill. It is so weird. I had not seen her ever do that before, but I saw it today. I need to get them another mineral block. That should fix it. It seems like it is from a mineral deficiency, so I will get on that. It is a weird thing to see. 

Alex

Alex allowed me to pet on him and love on him. He does not allow that too often, but today he just stood there for a long time and allowed me to pet him. He is doing much better. I am glad about that. As I was petting on him, I was helping shed his hair. It is already in the upper 90s now, so I know that will be helpful for him. 

Onyx is in Trouble

I caught Onyx over across the street. That terrifies me. Every time they start crossing the road, they disappear or get hit by a car. I started yelling at her to come home. She did come home before I left and it was like she was apologizing. She came over and rolled over and wanted me to pet her belly. I have not seen her across the street again. She needs to stay home. Onyx is going to be in big trouble if she goes back over there. 

The Stray

I had not seen, or smelled Banana in a long time. Ursula ran out of the house and she went over in the bushes. When I went to go get her, I did not see Banana, but I startled him and he ran out and under the storage building. I guess he is still here. I am glad he is doing okay. He needs to stay here. He actually has it made here even if he does not realize it. Later I went out and saw Banana in Yeller's old hiding spot on a tree stump. He was hiding. I was watching him and took some photos of him. Banana looks just like Yeller. He did end up getting startled and he was running off. He did not run very far, just under the storage building. He may never leave the property anymore. I saw him hanging out with Yeller a couple of days later. I hope he stays. He is safe here, as long as he knows where to hide when there is danger. 

Wild Day

I got home late, so did Ronnie. I ran in to change clothes while he started feeding. I heard him yelling. I finished changing clothes and ran out the side door. Ronnie was standing there. All the animals were looking to one particular area, which is where Ronnie was looking. I glanced over and whatever they were all looking at, I did not see it. I looked back at Ronnie and said what is going on. He said, do you not see that, so I looked back over to my right at the water trough the donkeys drink out of and still did not get it, but then did a double take and figured out what they were all looking out. There was a huge bull drinking out of our water trough. Our steers were calling to him. So, he went over to interact with them. It did not take long and the bull started going back toward his home. Ronnie went to the neighbor's house and they figured out who the bull belonged to and the bull did get home. The cows were upset and still calling for him. I guess they had not seen another one of their own so close in a while. It was such a wild day. That bull was huge.
