Farm-sitting

Our neighbors, Barb and John Shedler, asked if we would take care of their animals while they are on vacation. Of course we said yes, who on earth would turn down the chance to feed a donkey, 3 pigs and 2 goats two times a day for 4 days?!
 Emmry wants to go see Sammy (the donkey) all the time. She loves taking care of the animals!

She knows exactly what to do.....

First you have to unlatch the gate and undo the buckle because Sammy is so smart she knows how to lift up the latch to get out.


















Give Sammy her food



































Then get the empty bin and go fill it up of hay for the goats and pigs.


































Throw the hay to the goats and pigs.

We like to bring treats for the pigs. This morning we brought watermelon. The piggies loved it!




















































I gave Trey a piece to throw, but he decided he would eat it instead.


















I love living where we do. I love that our neighbors have farm animals and that my kids can experience farm life living in the city.
