As we have established previously, testosterone makes boys, men and bulls think they’re invincible,er, stupid. But how does it affect our billy goat? Well, he just has plans for world domination. You can see it in his eyes, his thoughts, his long beard. He’s scheming, I tell you. Certain he can intimidate the human folk [...]
What’re you doin’? Scratch, Scratch, Scratch… Is it good, Jake? Earth to Jake! Jake! Come in, Jake! Is that the spot? It must have been good, eh Jake? Hey Buddy! Glad you got your back scratched!
Who’s the baddest billy goat of all? If you were to ask Goatie-Goat, he’d say it was him, of course. He’s certainly trying to show this two year old who’s in charge around these parts. And she’s not sure she’s going to have it. Any of it! Maybe letting her think like she can push [...]
Goat kids that is. I know y’all have waited a really, really, really long time to see these adorable babies. I managed to catch them a few days ago when they were in the corral, hanging out with our feeder steers. In case any of you are wondering, the feeder steers are those that we [...]
I don’t give my dog(s) enough love on this blog. As I typed that, the cowboy says, “Whatever!” I do love my little, now-one-eyed, Papillon named Higgins. And I’m pretty sure, that furry little bugger loves me too! Let’s don’t talk about how many times I had to back up to get these shots. He [...]
Here are my picks for this week’s Macro Challenge- these are some previously unpublished photos taken from home. Since it’s been raining nearly non-stop for going on three weeks now, I’m really homesick. I came here to ride, and can’t do that; at least at home while I’d be in the same boat (which by [...]
Quatro! This adorable miniature donkey has been keeping my old horse, Zero, company during the months that I am not in Texas. Since horses are herd animals and are very social they don’t really like to be by themselves. Quatro and Zero are best buds! Hey there, little buddy! You’re not my buddy! Henceforth, I [...]
As part of our on-going discussion about the horse industry, I feel it is important to discuss the differences in animal rights v. animal welfare. From the Animal Welfare Council Website: Animal Welfare, as defined by the American Veterinary Medical Association, is a human responsibility that encompasses all aspects of animal well-being, including proper housing, [...]
and More! There’s some chicken photos thrown in just for fun. I wanted everyone to see the egg I found a couple days ago, (and I got another one yesterday! that makes 5 egss total. The first three were ruined b/c they laid them during the blizzard when their house was snowed in), and just [...]
Winter is officially here. We awoke to a world of white on Thursday morning. Not only was it white, but it was windy (though not as windy as it had been) and Old Man Winter was still tossing snow flurries our way. Did I mention yet that it was a bit chilly? About 13 degrees (but [...]
