Pets






Inky Bear, a black (actually he's rather brown) lab mix, is a neighbor's dog. He's very friendly. Nacho, the donkey, belongs to another neighbor. He loves our morning treat of apple or carrot. He is lonely, though, since his horse companion Early Girl left, and needs a friend. We're hoping the owners, who don't live here full-time, will get another donkey or horse to keep him company. My DH tried to get him to smile by tickling his nose . . . oooh, watch that finger!! Angel is my calico cat who is an indoor cat but I walk her on a leash and she is tied out on the line when she wants to go out (when I don't). She doesn't like it too cold, though, and in this picture she was patiently waiting for me to let her in.

New Neighbors



Meet Nacho and Uncle Earl. They are new members of the family of neighbors down the road. Uncle Earl is the (Mustang) horse who is actually a "she" but the owners insist she's Uncle Earl, but with no explanation as to why that name applies. Anyway, Earl has had some problems in the past with people and she needs a lot of patience so that she builds up her trust of people. She's coming along great, though. Nacho, the donkey, is great company for Earl and they seem to get along just fine.
