I like animals.  That’s no secret here.  All walks, and all sorts.  From Aardvarks to Zebras.    And…in fact, when I go to fairs, I spend a good part of my leisure time there, walking through the animal barns and visiting with all the little creatures.  Well… some aren’t so little.  But I think they are cool.  All of them… pretty much.  Horses, cows, pigs, rabbits, you name it.  My favorites, I think.. are goats, sheep, and chickens.  I don’t know why.  I just like them the most.

We don’t raise any farm animals.  I think I would like it… and not like it.  They are a ton of work.  And… any animal that lives here would have to be my pet.  The latter could be especially problematic.

But animals… have personalities all their own.

Chickens have moxie.  Just they way they walk around and bob their little heads.  Plus…  it takes a mighty brave beast to lay an egg.

But sheep and goats seem really sweet to me.  They are so expressive.  I’ve heard some people say they aren’t so bright.   I wouldn’t know by what standards one would use.  Just because we humans don’t understand them.  So… I am going with the notion that there are brilliant goats and sheep… within their own ranks.  Just like we have smart humans… and those who aren’t so bright.

Anyway… I often wonder what and how they think.   Like take these two here.  They seemed to be communicating back and forth, and almost commiserating with one another.  I hung out with them for a long time.

I learned a lot about sheep that day.

Both of these were scratching from time to time.  I think they had fleece.

They aren’t camera shy either.  In fact… a LOT of sheep post their videos on Ewe Tube.

And the reason sheep are so healthy is because they drink well water.

Well water.

Alright… this is getting Baaaaaaaaaaaaad.  I better quit.  When this is no longer causing sheer delight… I should cut it short.

So I end on redemption.  Here are some good quotes.

It is never too late to be what you might have been.
