Tinkerbelle and Cinderella are Here

Tinkerbelle and Cinderella are here now. I was so excited to get them here. Tinkerbelle is sweet and loves to be petted. Cinderella runs for her life when we come around. For fainting goats, they don’t faint much. Cinderella does seize up some but does not fall over. I have to be honest, I’m okay with that. I don’t want them to be scared and faint all the time. I’m sure I’m the only one on the planet that would say that. I did put them in with the sheep and then we cut the fence so the goats were able to join in and there was more room. Well, that did not work too well. I knew better. The new goats need to get used to the others before all that happens. We put the girls in the pen where the little goats were to keep them comfortable and get used to their new environment. They seem better after that. They are precious. 

Where’s the Cat??

Ronnie asked me, Where is the cat?? He had not seen him in a few days. I laughed and asked him if he was worried about Yeller. He said he wasn’t worried about the cat. I think he was though. Luckily I knew where Yeller was and was able to point him out. He hangs out in the same place most of the time so it’s easy to find him. 

Slowly

Yeller is warming up slowly. It’s taking less time than I thought it would. He is still skittish but he is doing better. He isn’t running away like he was, at least not as fast. He is progressing slowly. It helps that the other cats love me and Yeller watches me petting them every night. I have to remember he has only been here for three weeks and it takes time. He is doing so much better than I thought he would at this point considering how feral he was. I know deep down he just wants love like we all do. 

So Hot

It has been unbearably hot. I hate it for the animals, but we do what we can. These pigs keep digging their mud holes deeper and deeper. I come home in the evening and they have made a whole new mud hole or they have been in the water so much there is only mud left. They are staying as cool as they can in this west Texas heat. We fill up those mud holes twice a day for them. 

Chief and Jeb

Chief and Jeb have a bond. I am glad they did end up bonding. We did get Chief for Jeb to have a friend. I came home one evening and Chief was laying down. I am sure it was because it was hot and he was waiting on food. When I saw him on the ground, Jeb was nudging him and trying to get him up. Chief was fine and he did get up without a problem. I am happy they have each other. 

So Worried

When this kitten showed up, I was worried the cats were going to disappear again. I know they all disappeared when Athena and Onyx showed up. I have been upset about that. They finally came back. Earl came back for a while and is gone again. I was more worried about Peanut Butter with this new kitten. I’m not sure what the difference is in this situation and the situation with the other two kittens, but Peanut Butter and Jelly both continue to come home every night. I go out around the same time every night to make sure they are there. I don’t have to worry about anymore. 

What’s the Commotion?

I went outside and saw the dogs and the sheep looking at something. They were not looking away at all. What’s the Commotion?? I walk over toward the area they were all looking. I get past the gate and I see Yeller up on top of the fence. The goats are watching him, the sheep are watching him and the dogs are watching him balancing on the fence. He was so cute up on that fence. He saw me and started trying to run away but I was able to catch him and get him back down on the ground. It was a funny sight.
