Why Do We Have a Donkey?

WHEN YOUR DAY SEEMS OUT OF BALANCE 

AND SO MANY THINGS GO WRONG...

WHEN PEOPLE FIGHT AROUND YOU

AND THE DAY DRAGS ON AND ON...

WHEN PARENTS ACT LIKE CHILDREN

 AND EVERYTHING GOES 

W~O~N~K~Y

GO OUT INTO THE PASTURE

AND WRAP YOUR ARMS 

AROUND YOUR

 D~O~N~K~E~Y!

HIS GENTLE BREATH ENFOLDS YOU

HE WATCHES WITH THOSE EYES

HE DOES NOT HAVE HIS PH.D

BUT HE IS -OH-SO WISE!

          

HIS HEAD RESTS ON YOUR SHOULDER 

YOU HOLD HIM VERY TIGHT 

HE PUTS YOUR WORLD IN BALANCE 

AND MAKES IT SEEM ALRIGHT 

YOUR <3 TEARS<3 

THEY SOON STOP FLOWING

THE STRESS AND TENSION LIFTED....

YOU ARE QUIETLY AT  PEACE...

                                                                                                                                                                             

SO WHEN YOU NEED A RESPITE

FROM THE TURMOIL IN YOUR DAY

THE VERY BEST THERAPY EVER 

IS OUT THERE--- EATING HAY!

Adventure!

“The one who follows the crowd will usually get no 

 further than the crowd. The one who walks alone, 

 is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been."

~ Albert Einstein

It is in the compelling zest of high adventure

 and of victory, and in creative action,

 that man finds his supreme joys.

A Pet's Prayer

My People are so precious, Lord; I know you think so, too....
And I believe You put me here to love them just for You!

They take such gentle care of me, and have such tender hearts...
Please use me, Lord, to comfort them, whenever teardrops start.

They face a lot of battles as they live and work each day...
They need me, Lord, to make them smile and show them how to play!

The world is full of people, but sometimes friends are few....
Please let my love and loyalty remind them, Lord, of You.

And when my final moment comes, Lord, tell them as we part...
I was a made-to-order gift, from Your great, loving heart!

The Crazy Goat Lady is that SPECIAL!

Alien Goats?

Alien goats have invaded at

 Gillis Hill Farm...

The LaManchas are here!

The extraterrestrial goat, Phantom, 

visits one of the goats in the barn

collecting  information  for  the  alien  herd  

 in the goat ship 

hovering  over  the  barn on the farm. 

Who is this strange white goat in the barn with me?

 And, where did he come from?  

<3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<3

No, they are not alien goats, they are LaMancha goats, loving,
 sweet-tempered, and very gentle dairy goats.  So, where are the LaMancha's ears?   LaMancha's are noted for their apparent lack of, or much reduced, 

external ears called gopher or elf ears.  

Diva,  a  female  extraterrestrial goat

 decides to try the earth goats food. 

<3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<3 

Diva has gopher ears.  

Phantom looks on as Queen to be Kate is being milked

on an unusual contraption called a milking stand.

Strange for Phantom, because

where he comes from, does in milk levitate as they are

 being milked.  Phantom is happy he is not an earth goat!

Earth goats are so Old Fashion!  

Beam me up Capricornus!  

<3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<3

LaMancha goats are also known for their

high milk production, and the comparatively

high   butterfat   content   in   their   milk.
