Lost

I lost something. Can you tell what it is?

Here's a clue. Penny still has hers in this picture, but the it looks like it's killing her, so the human rescued her.

Helen also outgrew hers, so the human had to take it.

Scarlet lost hers too. Maggie is another one that the human removed it from. Heather has never had one. (Poor Heather)

Did you guess what it was?

My collar! I lost it when I was fighting with everyone right after the human let me out from my weight-gaining diet. The human says we're starting to look like a bunch of strays with everyone outgrowing their collars and going naked. Hmmph. I'm no stray.

A Different Kind of Coat

It's turned cold again. Someone has a down coat.

I wonder if it's as warm as our thick fur coats.

I doubt it! Litha looks awfully warm.

Neat Feet

Over the weekend, the human and her boy came out to the barnyard. We always worry when The Boy shows up because it seems like somebody is getting a shot, or moved or...

feet trimmed! They locked most of us up north, so we couldn't go out to pasture.

Most of us take it like nannies and just stand there (when The Boy straddles us and won't let us walk away).

Some of us (Pebbles, Scarlet) act like it's torture, and make the human get corn to catch them. How silly!

Stormy is the worst--she's got a thing against The Boy. For some reason she seems to think he's a monster. Weird. Don't know why. Anyhow, all of us girls got our hooves trimmed.

I heard The Boy asking the human about our boys. Imagine, not wanting to give their feet proper care.

Just because they have bad personal hygiene habits.

Can't believe it, but they did take care of their feet too!

Happy?

Is it just me, or does Muffin look happy to be out of the pen and back with her girls?

She better not let them nurse and get run down, or the human will lock her back in!

Stingy

This is Djali. He's not very jolly anymore. In fact, he's become known as the "Not-so-Djali-Llama."

What could make him put his ears back like that.

Bekka came too close to him when she walked past. Does it look like she's interested in his hay? I don't think so!

His ears signal the all clear, and he can go back to burying his face in the hay.

Stingy llama.

Freedom!

I'm out again! Yeah! The human decided we were all looking and feeling good enough to join the rest of the herd--Muffin, Bambi and me. She even put water in a bucket just for me.

I thought about jumping up on the picnic table, but I might have to run around some more first. It's been quite a while since I jumped up there.

I will say, I did have to check out Joe's fantastic story about hay being everywhere. I checked in the barn, and I did find hay.

And that door is open! I even found hay there, just like Joe said.

There really was hay in the love shack, too.

It feels so good to be out, and I am feeling my Cheerios. That silly human isn't fast enough to focus on me! I'm a wild woman tonight! Ye Haw!

Oh, the mineral block on the other side of the fence always tastes better!

We went out to pasture. I don't know why Muffin was hanging out with me. Oh, maybe because it was that, "we're going to try to beat you up because you were in a different pen for a few weeks" attitude that Annie had.

Finally, we decided to go out to pasture with everyone else.

Maaaaaa

Make them quit, Ma.

They keep calling me Butterball Bambi.

This is not what a mother wants to hear from her baby.
