I saw Athena first thing in the morning. 

I did something that shocked even me. I walked out to let the chicks out and saw something that did not belong. Poor Yeller was locked in with the chicks all night. He was a little traumatized, but he was fine. I felt horrible about it though. 

Onyx was out and about without any problems, too.

Ned was able to eat out of my hand. He was so gentle. With a donkey, you just never know. Pedro ate out of my hand also. Of course, the goats had to get some corn as well. 

I guess Yeller had had enough of Athena's bullying. He ran her right up the fence pole and stayed under it to see if she came down or not. It was quite the drama. Once you have had enough, you do what is necessary to make whatever it is stop. That is what happened here. 

I got to love on the donkeys. They are such a blessing to me. 

The Gidget look a like is just that, a look a like. She wants nothing to do with me at all. 

The moon is finally full. It was such a beautiful sight. Nothing too crazy went on with the full moon. That is a good thing. It was a gorgeous evening. 

Athena had to stay on top of that pole for a long time. I would almost feel bad for her, but she is mean. Onyx wanted no part in any of it. 

Before I went inside for the night, I made sure to find Yeller and love on him. I know sometimes it can be draining to deal with things you must deal with. I know that is more for us humans than the cat.

It was cooler this morning. I went on the hunt for Yeller. He was in the crate in the shop where he stays in the winter when it is cooler weather. Athena and Onyx were in the shop also. Yeller did come out to join them. 

One of chicks did not get into the coop soon enough I guess and was left out. She was fine, but she did not sleep with the rest of them. 

Onyx was very close to the road. I gave her a talking to, but she did not care. She stayed where she was. 

The cats were all home when I got home. That means Onyx did stay home. Sometimes people will listen to you and sometimes they will not. 

The chicks have found the shop. We have to nip that in the bud quickly. They are doing well though and they know where home is. Now if they would just start laying some eggs, that would be great. 

May got out of the shop. I have not seen that in such a long time. I was so happy to see her out and walking. I know she is feeling better now. 

The moon is almost full. I do wonder if we will see some craziness with the full moon. 

The pigs were so cute today waiting on me to give them the food they were wanting. 

The moon is so pretty out here. I know I say that often, but it is still true. 

Alex looks like he is getting an eye infection now. I am going to need to watch that on him now, too. 

Chief allowed me to pet on him. 

Yeller was up on top of the barn. Ronnie had to get me to come over there to make sure it was Yeller on top of that barn. It was. He is such a pretty cat. 

Ursula got out, again, this is getting to be a lot. She came face to face with Athena. Athena is not the friendliest animal, so I was not sure how that would play out. I went over and made Ursula go inside before anything could happen.

I drove home today. I got to see some pretty trees changing. I did enjoy the drive home this time. It is long, but I was relaxed and ready to go home. 

When I got home, I saw the stray cat who has been hanging around lately. It ran off quickly after that. 

The horses were all lined up eating what was left of that last hay bale. They did get another one. 

Mattie was following me around. Maybe he missed me. 

The moon is starting to look full. 

Athena and Yeller were eating together. Maybe their feud was over. Forgiveness is a great thing. 

Tinkerbelle and Cinderella were excited to see some food. They are doing fine. 

The sheep were ready for food. Ted is looking much better now. He was at the gate waiting for food instead of hiding behind the wall. He is eating better, too. 

Saverine is looking a little better. She had been looking a little skinny, but she is looking good, too. For whatever reason, the horses were all trying to eat all together. 

Alex is still acting questionable. I am not sure what is going on there. 

I thought Gidget was on the fence when I got home, but she wanted nothing to do with me. It was not Gidget. Gidget somehow is one of the ones who ran off and went missing. I am so heartbroken about it. I sure did love her. She was the one on my shoulder and she would come to me without a fight. I sure am going to miss that. 

The chicks are big enough to fly up onto the fence these days. They sure are pretty. They are also using the roost some, not often, but some. 

I saw the donkeys out in the field and in the sunset. That is one of my favorite things this time of year.

I am still in Arkansas for the first of November. I had more family time and more time with some friends. It is good to see them all. Enjoy your people when you get the chance.

Well, I am still in Arkansas seeing my family and friends. I know Ronnie has things under control at home with the animals. Trusting others is a must at times. I am not a big Halloween fan, but Happy Halloween.
