Lessons on Day #1 of caring for Mary's animals
Lesson #1 - Most important lesson of the day! Feed emus first. It's difficult to get the feed into goat feeder while hungry emu's have their head in the feed bucket. They are also not opposed to grabbing it out of your hand, which doesn't feel so good when they get your finger instead. They didn't seem to mind in the least.
Lesson #2 - apparently a certain goat is "too good" to eat out of the goat feeder. It tastes better when you get on your hind feet and eat out of the emu feeder. And one of them fainted when I walked up. I guess I'm scary.
Lesson #3 - I can outrun the security sprinkler for the deer.
(hopefully Mary did not set up the time lapse camera) I remembered on the way over to feed the animals, but forgot on the way back. Scared the crud outta me though.
Lesson #4 - There is no hiding from Jack, the guard donkey. Although it is quite funny to hear him braying when we parked. Diana did look perturbed when I poured too many oats in her bucket and had to pull some back out. She got her nose in there quickly to try to stop me. Gotta remember to bring some carrots tomorrow.
