SugarFoot taking the plunge!!
We get irrigation water every 18 days. The girls love their pool party!! They are so much fun to watch when they play in the irrigation ditch!
They run back and forth bucking and kicking up their heels!
Laying and rolling in the water then diving back in for another dip in the water.
They will sometimes lay in the water for 15 to 30 minutes.
Oh, what fun it is on pool party day!!
I set up my chair and just watch them play.
Summer Fun!!
Muffet says move it!! Its my turn!!
Hey.. Stop pushing me!! I'm gonna tell Mama Peggy on you!!
Muffet taking the plunge!
Hey!! Who's that alpaca in the water looking at me??

Calfie with her nose in the beer box
This bottle fed calf..named Calfie doesn't think that she is a calf. She thinks that she is a dog, an alpaca, and a cat. Jenny the dog and her 4 month old pup Junnie, give Calfie a face washing and ear cleaning when calfie is laying down. Calfie just closes her eyes and the dogs on each side of her... lick her ears and face and eyes all clean. The cat even gets in on it too... by laying on top of her and kneading (massaging) her back.What a spoiled but LOVED calf. Calfie read more...

But..my Grandson looked at me with the biggest grin on his face.. read more...
