Most of the grass in the main pasture has been ate by this time of year. There are smaller, alternate pastures that still have grass in them, and a few cockleburs, which is how some ended up in Beauty’s mane. The chickens, duck, goats, sheep and horse are all in this video. They are getting their winter coat, so they look a bit shaggy!

This video is the third in a series – 30 videos in 30 days – for the NaBloPoMo Video Bloggers Group November challenge. There are two videos today. One is really short and one is longer. Leonardo, the angora buck, decided to attack me this morning while I was filming, so I had to stop and start the video several times while trying to deal with him and remind me I was the “head goat,” LOL!

Leonardo the angora goat is in heat and attacking everyone that he thinks doesn’t belong in the pasture making it very difficult to get good close-up video. Beauty is being stand-offish, as is Johnny the sheep. I have not been able to get away long enough to pick up Johnny’s new mate. I keep hoping though. I feel so sorry for him being a lone ram at mating time.

Pearl

We lost Pearl this summer due to heat stroke. She was such a sweet sheep and she is very missed. She gave birth to her first baby, Jewel, who died shortly after her mama. Jewel was struck by lightening.

sasha

Sasha was a dog I fostered. Her family brought her from New York to Indiana. They dropped her off at the shelter on July 4th. I went out to apply to be a foster mommy in September. Sasha was a good match for Precious Angel I thought because they were both lab mixes. She came home with me, and after some time, adjusted so well that we adopted her. She has been with us over 6 years now.
