Raggles update 2

This is another Raggles update. He is out of the garage and running around the yard. He will let us pick him up pet him, he gets wet food, but not by the other cats because Vidalia still hisses at him and starts fights. Raggles comes in the barn and walks around our legs while we are doing chores. In the barn are holes that the bunnies that are out have dug and we thought that the tunnels might go outside. Once when Raggles and I were in the barn this week the door was closed because it was cold out. I went to get him because I had the door open. But when I was go he ran down one of the holes. I waited and then I heard my brother coming up to the barn talking to Raggles so I went out and there was Raggles. So now we know that the tunnels go outside.

Things that run in front of our car

Today I'm going to write about things that run in front of our car. My family and I think that the animals wait for our car to go by them on the road and then run out in front of us. When we got our new car it was a week or so before any thing ran in front of us. We say that it was because they had figure out that it was our car. The most common things are deer. They will walk, or run, across the road as soon as we get to deer areas. Other things that run in front of us are skunks, raccoons, dogs, squirrels, and turkeys. Birds also fly in front of us. I hope when I start driving things don't run in front of me! I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Eeyore Bubby

My goat Eeyore is two years old. He is so cute and cuddly and he will give you kisses. He likes to sit on laps, even though he is too big. His body is gray with a brown line down his back, his head is also gray with white eye brows. Eeyore has his own house in the barn made out of pallets. He is very good at getting out and breaking it. His feeder is an old recycle bin. It's full of hay because he likes to lay in the feeder. He has seizures every once in a while so he has three candies in the morning, three at night, and has a scoop of rabbit food twice a day (I put it on top of his hay so he eats his hay too!) Yesterday night, my Dad and I were bringing in a bale of hay and he stood in his feeder, jumped up on his wall and hopped down on the other side so he was out in the barn. He goes out in the corral almost every day. He actually likes to graze and some days he likes to butt the the fence post. I can go out and talk to him and when I go back in he'll already be butting the post again. We say that he is teaching that post a lesson and it is slow learner.

Eeyore!

It was hard to take his picture because he wouldn't stay still!

Eeyore is my little goat. He is gray, brown, white and very cute. He goes outside almost every day. His house is made of pallets that we nailed together. Some days he is out of his house when we come out in the morning. Last week he broke out of his house twice, the first time he just knocked offthe door, a few days later he just opened it up like a set of double doors! Here is what it looks like from the outside.

And this is how it looks from the inside

Ready to play!

Nikki is a toy fox terrier so she is quit small. A full size tennis ball does not fit in her mouth so we have to get her small ones. We go outside and throw the ball for her and come in when she will not let go of the ball any more. If we don't take the ball from her right away she will sit with it in her mouth just in case we want to play in a minute. This is Nikki with the tennis ball in her mouth.

Puppet hats and masks

On are way to the State fair we were waiting to get in line to park when the people in the car in front of us kept sticking something out the window. We finally figured out that it was a hat. When we started to take a picture they stuck their head out for us to get a good picture.

This is the first one we saw.

Chickens gone catty

Chickens will eat almost anything, and I mean any thing. They will even eat cat food. The chickens are usually in their coop outside in the summer but it has been so wet we let them out so they were not on the mud. Almost every day they come up to the porch to eat and see if there is any cat food. In this picture is Paige, Owlly, Non-speckly, and Whooten.
