More New Animals!?

Howdy and yes, it's true! I have 6 new members of the family to share with you all!!!! Yes, my daddy got cow fever. I did too! (It's really kind of contagious.) I've been wanting some new cows and we finally got some!!!

Meet the cows!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 

Meet, Honey!!! She's soooooooo sweet. I fell for her right away.
She has a timid, sweet personality. :)
 

This is Beanie, she's super sweet too. She's not as friendly,
 but is a good milker and has a great, no nonsense, personality.
 

 
And last but not least, No name................Yeah, we haven't thought of a name for her.
We've been calling her Blackie, so original isn't it? :) She is the most curious cow I've ever seen! She's  a little on the bossy side with other cows, but not with us. She likes to be next to you, as long as you don't touch her, she likes you.  She's been a lot of fun so far!
 
 
1 Donkey, 2 Donkey....
 
That's right, we didn't get just one donkey, but two!!!! They are so sweet too!
Aren't they cute!?!They are great! They will walk up to you and rub their heads on you. We take them for walks too!
The closest one is Benny and the farther one is Lolly! I must say Benny is my favorite......
Shhhhhhh, don't tell Lolly that!! :)
 Also, I found out that Benny is the boss! It's really funny to watch him boss Stardust around. :)
 
 
 Fleece was white as snow.

So, five down one last little animal to introduce to you.
 
This is Penelope. She is a rescue, runt lamb. She is  a week old and still is too weak to stand.
Even though she's small and weak, she eats a TON and is loud when she's hungry! :)


Yes, she's wearing a diaper, it's the easiest way to have a lamb in the house. Plus, it makes her waaayyy cuter!! :)
 
 
 You know, when you have a little lamb, this happens...


 
 

 
There's nothing cuter then a dressed up lamb!! :)
 
We found out thought that she has a bum back leg, a wheeze, can't really stand, maybe some brain damage and she's blind. So, she is a special lamb, a very needy, loveable, little girl. She is really sweet though. When I play the piano she falls asleep, but when I stop, she cries. We all love her a lot. :)

So, I've been thinking a lot, and that could just be dangerous. :) But, I was thinking we need something to spice up this blog, maybe more story time with Grace?? Maybe? Hmmmmmmm, I wonder what I could tell about........
 
 
Our unusual house guest.
****************************
 
My alarm goes off at 4 a.m. , I roll over and slowly get out of bed. "This is the pits." I thought to myself as I blindly walked down the steps. Turning into the kitchen, I glance at the counter. I looked a little harder. "Ugh, where is that bottle! The lamb needs to be fed, so I can sleep for a couple of hours!" I complained to myself. I stumble into the living room, to where Kaity was on the couch. Spying the bottle on the floor next to the lambs basket, I walk over. Kaity stirred , I froze, I didn't want to wake her. I bent down to grab the bottle when Kaity stopped me. "I fed the lamb already, go to bed."   After thanking her 5 times, I walk gratefully up to my bed. I just got settled and started to fall asleep, when I heard a noise by my bed. "It's probably just a mouse." I thought to myself. Then I heard it again. "Man! It sounds like a huge mouse." By this time I put the covers over my head, just in case. Then it happened. I felt this huge thing run across me, I flung my blankets and heard it hit the floor. I was wide awake, I sat in my bed dazed, then I heard it running around my room. I flip on my lamp and there in the middle of my room was a weasel. It looked at me and then ran out of my room then back in. I was stunned. "You got to be kidding me!" I exclaimed. "A weasel!!??" Then it ran back into my room. Becca heard me call for daddy, so she got out of her room and asked if I was ok. I told her to shut her door because there was a weasel running around.  We were talking about it when mom came out.
 
Let's take a moment to see what just happened here. I called for dad to save me and mom comes out. Thanks daddy.
 
Anyways, she told us to go back to bed, she thought I was crazy and told me so in the morning.  She was kidding, but only partly. Daddy was giving me a hard time too, until he went down to the basement. "I believe her."  He called up the stairs. "Why is that?" Mom asked.  "Because I'm watching it."  I knew I wasn't crazy! So, yes we have an unwelcomed house guest, that wanted to share my bed.  How do I feel about weasels you ask?? I don't like them at all!!!
 
 
 
I don't know why we have crazy things happen at our house, but hey! It's something to write about!! :)
 
 
Thanks for reading
God Bless!

This is the day that the Lord hath made. I will rejoice and be glad in it.
