Earlier this month, Sean helped me take care of some friends' animals. Our friends were gone for a week, so I visited their homestead twice a day to feed, water and take care of their animals. Mick and Sean helped on the evening runs, and Sean went with me almost every morning.

He pulled the hay cart all by himself, and he even helped throw the hay in to the llamas and horses. But what Sean was really good at, was feeding horse candy to each of the 4 horses and the 5 llamas. The llamas really liked that!! The horses were pretty eager to see us too. Somehow or another they suffered through having to be fed AND getting treats!

It was fun to go over there every day and feed the variety of animals they have there! There were several types of hens too, and several times, I opened the hen house door to find that they'd tipped their whole waterer over!!!! They were cackling like mad to get some more water! Well, I think it was a front. "THOSE CHICKENS WAZ OORGANIZED". They were planning their escape and testing me by tipping over their waterer to see how long I'd take to refill it. They couldn't fool me. I'd seen "Chicken Run". They weren't going to escape while I was there!!!
