Frosty Morning – Frosty Sheep
With all that thick luscious wool, just about nothing bothers them !!!
Siamese Twins?
No, it’s Fzzy Wuzzy and Charcoal showing up for duty on this cold and frosty morning.
On to Horsey Haven
Thank you, I’ll take that !
Ohhh look at those burrs in her mane!!!
Somebody is going to the beauty shop today for a bush and snip!
Always gotta stand on somethin !
Is that sheep streaking ?
Isn’t she lovely?
She’s the elder matriarch of our Angora Goat herd.
The elder patriarch of Horsey Haven
Is somebody reading a map there?
Planning an escape with my RV?
You seriously expect ME to eat sweet feed?
Boyfriend lives at the Life Center. Just on the outside. He’s welcome to come in. He did that for about 15 seconds once a year ago. He bolted out fast. But he loves to hang out and look in the windows. He meows and greets everyone and acts like the wants in. But when the door is offered to him, he bolts.
He got his name, Boyfriend, cus Amiee lived in the Life Center. A stately gray lady, who wanted to go outside. But she wasn’t allowed. She sat on a cat tree in the window on the inside, and Boyfriend came courting on the outside. At first we think Boyfriend had nefarious ideas abut Amiee. But then we caught him and he got a trip to the Speuter Clinic. He still hung out and courted Aimee thru the window.
Several years ago Aimee for a furrever home with our friend Lia far far away in Connecticut. Boyfriend misses Aimee, but now he courts Riley. I’m not sure he’d be as impressed if he met her with out that layer of glass for protection. Riley is …. well … Riley !!!!
Sunshine showed up as little kitten
though old enough to be thoroughly feral. We thought someone had dumped him here, but soon his siblings and mom showed up, and then more. Turned out a bunch of cats had been evicted. Cats that weren’t “fixed”. Cats that had been breeding. Homeless and hungry, they found our barn, some mice and Boyfriend’s food.
We’re trapping and speutering. An unexpected expense this year when money is hard to come buy. It’s costing us about $100 to fully vet the girls, and $75 for the boys.
We’d certainly not turn down the offer to help us get every last one speutered !!!

Sunshine thinks Boyfriend is his Daddy.
But we know better! Even if he has learned to pretend he wants to come inside and loves being a peeping tom !!!
Hey! HOOMAN ! It’s about time for FOOD !
