4/24/24

Saverine is still standing out by herself more and more. I did notice the chickens going out into the horse pasture this morning. They do not usually go out that way. I guess they have decided they like it over there. 

The donkeys were trying to eat with the cows. I wish they would not do that. Those cows can get aggressive. Not only that, but they have their own food. 



I met a lady looking for a rooster. I do hope she decides to come get the Rojo look alike. I hope that works out. I do need one less rooster and she needs a rooster, so that would be a great thing. We will see what happens. 


The sheep are just so cute. I cannot get over it. They are the best things and make you happy just looking at them. 


I had a very long day, so I did not have much time with the animals this evening, but they were all doing fine.

The donkeys were having a good time in the nice day up on the dirt mound. They make me smile every time I see it. 


It looks like Annabeth is trying to dig out of the chicken coop. I do not know why she would want to do that. 


The goats got some fresh water and the chickens were drinking it. They were all lined up in a row. It was an interesting thing to see. 


It was a warmer day today. The animals were feeling it. They were all doing well though. 


The sheep of course were excited and dancing around to get to their feed. They will run around in circles around me to try to get me to go faster. 


Ernestine is not a happy chicken. She is staying in the crate. She actually does hurt when she pecks me. She wants to be left alone. 


It was looking like it was about to rain. It never did rain, but I did see a beautiful rainbow behind Chief while he was eating. It was a pleasant surprise. I am pretty sure I needed to see that rainbow.

4/22/24

I took the day off today so I could relax and get some quiet time. I needed it. It felt good to get the laundry and the house cleaned after a trip. 
I did look outside and Jeb was laid down like he does. He continues to freak me out with that. Jeb does not care about how it looks. 


I did watch a hen in the middle of the cacti plant. She was laying eggs in the middle of the cacti. It does hurt to pick up those eggs from the cacti plant. I am sure that is the plan they have. 


Bubba was happy I was home so he could sit on my lap. He was happy about all that attention. 


The donkeys all came in to see me at the water trough today. 


The goats and the sheep were enjoying the sunshine. 



I caught May eating the sheep feed this afternoon. I had to laugh about that. She normally eats with the other chickens. 


It looked like Willow and Jasper switched places to eat today. That was interesting. 


The pigs are all doing well. They get excited about the food. The one thing they do not get excited about is Willow and Mattie irritating them. The pigs might get used to it at some point. 




Alex looked so pleasant sitting in the sunshine. 


Jasper actually let me get close to him and did not jump and run away. It did not last long, but that is progress. 


The donkeys and cows were all being nice and sharing the hay bale.

Ronnie and I got home in the early morning hours. That is a long trip to do in such a short time. I know the house cats were all happy we were home. I did sleep in and Ursula cuddled with me until I had to get up. 




All the animals were looking good. 




The coop chickens were eating well and happy to see me. 


The sheep were so excited to see me they were almost dancing. It could have been me, or it could be the food I had in my hand. 


I saw Onyx out in the pasture hunting ground squirrels. I am pretty sure she has not caught one. 



You know, as. I looked out into the pasture, I realized I had not seen Chloe lately. I have no idea where she could be. I do wonder if she is sitting on eggs somewhere. At least that is my hope for where she is. 
Chief is having difficulty with his R front leg today. He is limping. I know he does that when the weather changes. Hopefully he is better tomorrow. 


Chief allowed Spots to eat with him tonight. I do not know what the deal is. Chief never wants to share his foot. He did let Spots though. What is that about? 


I did get to see all the donkeys and goats in the pasture today. It is good to see them all out there.




Bacon Bit really gave me a scare. I could not find her and when I looked in the shelter, there she was and she was giving me her goofy grin. She is really acting better toward me. 


Pork Chop allowed me to pet him tonight. If you only knew how excited it made me for him to allow me to pet him. He does not usually do that. 


The pigs are all doing fine. 



I saw the chickens all up on the table in the front of the house. They are so funny. Each of the hens were following Rojo. 



The dogs were happy to see us. Their routine was restored. 


I saw each of the barn cats also, so I knew they were fine.
