Friday, October 30th was overcast but warm. I had been invited to bring to our county’s Halloween celebration some animals for the children to enjoy and offer pony rides.

I’m sure you’ve read about my Bichon Frisé, Mouse. I got her because Murphy had been gone for a few months and I was ready (and needing), a sweet little house dog that had eyes for me only. I chose to get a Bichon because they are small but sturdy (about 12 lbs max), non-shedding…

Through Carol from Wolf Creek Farms we were able to acquire 2 beautiful gelded males from a friend of hers, Val Carmichael of Agape Lland Llamas The big one (and I mean BIG!), is called…

After perusing my posts, I realized that I didn’t post anything about our second Llama, Little “D”. We purchased this beautiful white gelded Llama from my friend Carol Wolf. Little D was raised with Stormy… they came from the same farm. We thought that Stormy needed a companion of his sort, and he did because…

There is a field, with two horses in it. From a distance, each horse looks like any other horse. But if you stop your car, or are walking by, you will notice something quite amazing. Looking into the eyes of one horse will disclose that he is blind. His owner has chosen not to have…
