We headed out to the Swan Valley last night to visit and have dinner with our friends, Laura, Leigh and their daughter, Devon. They live in an area where almost everyone has a horse or two and/or other farm animals. Laura rides horses for a living so no better place but to live amongst them. They have their own horse and pony that are currently housed at the barn she works at until they finish the new fencing. When we arrived, we became quickly acquainted with the furrier members of their family - Barlow, half Jack Russel and half Chi-hua-hua, and Wallace and Bilby, the goats. I am not usually a small dog fan but I fell in love with Barlow. He didn't make a peep the whole time we were there and he showed no bouncy, overly-energetic traits of any other Jack Russel I have met. He was just gorgeous, as the Aussies would say. By the end of the night, he was curled up in my lap. Then we met Wallace and Bilby - a pair of beautiful, very friendly goats. They loved a good pat and they followed you, or should I say, Laura, everywhere. They got them from a petting farm when they were babies - Laura fell in love with them and had to have them. I have to say, I was convinced of their merit as family members by the end of the night. However, they wouldn't fair well in our coyote/wolf inhabited neighbourhood back in Canada. We had a wonderful visit and the kids didn't want to leave. I think being in the country side reminded them of back home. Thank you for sharing your lovely home, Laura, Leigh and Devon!
