Visitors

Today Home At Last Sanctuary had three sets of visitor. First was our neighbors and new friends Pat and Chuck with their grandchildren. When you live in the country even someone who lives three miles away is considered a neighbor. Then came Rina and her girls. Soon thereafter our dentisit Dr Ron Wilson and his family came.
Everyone got to meet horses, donkeys, mules, goats and calves up close and personal. Our animals are so sweet and loving that they give warm welcomes. Who can resist a goat snuzzle or a long calf kiss? Even old Jonathan let folks pet him. Dobbin stayed right in their hip pocket and Frankie got jealous when Stuart got brushed. He stood as close as he could so he could have his turn.
We had Frankie and Moon Dancer in the upper turnout but they were very unhappy there, so out they came this morning. Our back yard is jammed with critters, but everyone seems very happy.
In the back yard are Callie and Juan mules, Jenny, Jessie, Jonathan and Dobbin donkeys, Gracie the mini horse, AnnaBelle and Bucky ponies, Maggie mini mule, Sugar and Posey mini hinnies, Stuart, Skittles, Frankie, Moon Dancer, Tess, Amira and Marnie horses. Yep 19. It does get a little hectic at feeding time but each one is so loving and sweet we don't like to be away from them. So are all the others, but I guess 19 is enough (in the back yard anyway).
We walked down to the lower well where Jake, Tucker and Navajo made a special trip over to say Hi. The others were still finishing breakfast. They acknowledged us, but kept on eating.
Going to friends for dinner so we will feed a little early and then have a relaxed evening.
Thank you Christina F for your continued support. Your generosity makes it possible for us to care for the herd.
The dragonflies continue to make the ranch magical as they dart and swoop everywhere. The polywogs are morphing into teeny tiny frogs and occassionally the big ole toad appears. We have lizards by the gazillions and many birds. Even Maven and Cliff Caven Raven have been stomping around the back. Our place is alive, busy and peaceful.
