I Found my Smile

Thank you to everyone that left me such kind and supportive comments. I really appreciate it. I'm feeling better now, and it all started with this:

How can anyone be unhappy when watching animals having fun. Pepper is such a goofy goat.

Then I sat down on an old picnic table in the Wooly's paddock and was immediately greeted by goats. Mud Pie thought my hat might make a wonderful snack.

I was laughing so hard I was almost crying. Goats seem to know the best way to make someone happy.

And they are just so cute!

Latte, my mini mancha doe spent some time with me, too. She is such a sweet little goatie.

Luna, my sweet Angora goat doe is such a beautiful girl and I enjoy watching her just relaxing.

Watching my two beautiful sheep always makes me smile. Blanca, the Churro ewe, and Svetlana, the Karakul ewe are both looking forward to being sheared. They are very close and where one goes, the other is always right there beside.


Nevermind the video and feelings of dizziness, I finally used the video function feature on my camera, so I wasn't sure what I was doing. But this is how I spent my Saturday. The other voice you hear is my son Jax's.



And then, after Baby Doll's farrier was done trimming her feet, I took my folding chair over to Baby Doll's paddock. We were both enjoying the sunshine and each other's company, but I was surprised when my mare walked up behind my chair, stood with her head over my shoulder and rested there for a while.


She was just so loving and gentle. She just just stood there with her cheek next to mine. Sometimes she would lightly lean in to me, or very softly rub her face or chin on me. She let me scratch and stroke her ears, her chin, her jaw, and her lips, too.

I was almost afraid to breathe or move when my mare was relaxing beside me. I didn't want anything to disrupt our special moments together.

It was a great day for some goat, llama, sheep and horse love. There is nothing like a day spent with your critters to bring a smile to your face.

I also went on an impromptu New Mexico road trip on Sunday, but I'll talk about that in another day or two.

So what did you do all weekend?
