Farm Fresh BlogThursday, August 05 2010
Despite the fact that Other Half accuses me of turning every animal on the farm into a pet, there is someone who is a softer touch than me. (I KNOW! Can you even believe it?!!) That someone regularly comes over to bring farm fresh eggs to the dogs . . .
My mother lives in a small house in my front pasture. There she raises a few chickens and keeps a watch on the farm while I'm at work. And from there . . . she spoils my critters even worse than I do. (The dogs already expect an egg EVERY day! But hey! With all those dogs around, she is the safest Grandma in the County!) Today it came to my attention that Ancient Arabian Stallion has the perfect gig worked out. He goes to the handicapped ramp of her back deck and paws the boards. She comes out and feeds him an apple. What a little beast! Today I witnessed this exchange from my side of the fence. Stallion came to her back gate and announced that he wished to be allowed access to her back yard. And this is what I saw . . .
"Don't forget ME, Grandma! Don't forget ME!!!"
(P.S. My mother will never forgive me for posting pictures of her in a nightgown on the internet!) Comments:
BWAHAHAHA!Every morning, when I released my 2 little goaties (a Fainter and a Pygmy)they would hitail it down to my mother's house. They would go up on her back porch and she would give them stale bakery or something similiar. If she had nothing, they would politely leave the porch and browse on her precious berry bushes.
She objected. I TOLD her to stop feeding them, but she wouldn't listen....LOL.....I TOLD her to turn the hose on them, but she said that was too mean.....LOL....

That's too funny! Occasionally I will "run outside" in my nightgown for "just a quick minute" to get something or close a gate while everyone is on the other side, etc. Invariably, it is at that precise moment that everyone decides to drive by on their way to work. Sigh.

On seeing these photos, I am reminded of why some species eat their young!
