When we arrived we started with a cat.He is called Hercules and is the biggest softest creature ever. He arrived here as a wild kitten and has now been tamed beyond all recognition. His demands for fuss are unrelenting as is his ability to melt the hearts of anyone he meets.
Then came Basil and Parsley. They are the goats, brother and sister. Basil arrived with an elastic band around his unmentionables. The band and everything else has since dropped off! Am still convinced I will come across the small package somewhere in the garden one day. Parsley is just plain silly and believes with all her heart that every time you go near her she will be murdered. I have to confess to coming quite close to such an act when she sent me 10 feet in the air as her chain wrapped round my ankles and she made a run for it!
Jack and Ryan, they are our Kune Kune pigs. What can I say, they eat and they sleep. Jack is the pushy one and sometimes bites Ryan's ear in his daily battle for more food. He also lies down in the food so that Ryan can't get at it.
Reo, John and Sid. These are sheep, white lamb and black lamb. All orphans and either their Mum died or she rejected them so as a soft touch and to prevent the local farmer from killing them we have given them a home.
Chickens too. No names though because I really can't tell thedifference.
Thats all of us here at the Lodge
We have heard from people who stay with you they love the warm atmosphere and the comfort. Your animals are really entertaining. When we are lucky enough to be able to spend time with you guys we love it - you are lots of fun to be with! AND yes we are your neighbours!
