Kentucky Animals

Nelly and Copper playing tug of war. All the rest are pictures from Jane's farm. She likes animals, but they're more like pets than livestock.

Here are some chickens. I took all these pictures at Gen's request. Normally I don't venture beyond the house. Barnyard animals freak me out. I trace it back to a bad petting zoo experience as a child.

These chickens have feathered feet. They're pretty cool looking.

This is Jane with Gen the Goat. He's a pygmy goat, smaller than our dog. She now has 4, 2 boys (Gen and Gruff) and 2 girls (Pamie and Annie). Jane only gives her animals people names and she either really likes you or really hates you if you get an animal named after you.

I think this is Ed. There's an Ed and a Fred. He got a little too close for my comfort.

This is Julie the cow. Some people might be offended to have a cow named after them, but Jane told me that it's because Julie has pretty hair like me. So I suppose I'm flattered.

Here's a peacock.

This is Big Ben, the farm dog. Jane's other dogs are inside-outside, but Ben is only outside. He takes care of the other animals. He and Jane are dance partners.
