Pets
Belle
2/22/02 Miniature Jacob Sheep
Belle is a member of a very rare breed of sheep. She stands only 24 inches tall. Belle is the source of a great deal of mischief here at Willowvale. She is a terrible tease, who will incite the horses in to a frenzy chasing after her, and then slip out of one of her holes while they are not looking. She and Little Annie are best buddies, and she thinks that I am her mom. She jumps up, and tries to sit in your lap just like a dog, and, like the peacocks, truly believes that she is supposed to be living in the house.
Chloe
15 year old Burmese Cat
Chloe is the animal we have had the longest, and she definitely feels superior. At the same time, she is a spooky wimp, who hides in closets and on people's shoulders. Despite this, we still love her, and wouldn't trade her for anything.
Junebug
15 year old Tabby Cat
Junebug is my kitty, and the kindest one in the world. She as cuddly fur, an excellant purr, and a very plaintive howl. Junebug is also a champion mouser, and on a good summer day, will often bring in three or four rodents. Unfortunately, once the mice have gone to sleep in winter, she tends to visit her attentions upon the birds that flock to our feeders, but I guess that's just genetic selection at work.
