Moe, Larry, and ?????

blp16forever is completely right in saying that they are named after the three stooges. However, there is a fourth. Know who that is?

079
You know who is on the right. That's Moe! The one on the left is...

Bueller...Bueller...Bueller...


082
That's Curly! See the curly face? So fitting!

104
So who is the fourth stooge here? Anyone know? He was only around for a little bit but he was more Stooge than one of the other Stooges.

That's the only hint you get. Good luck!

There's Moe's nose

And we met this one. This is...Larry!

Now you know Moe and Larry. Can you guess the names of the other two? Here's a picture of one of them:

Good luck!

Welcome Alpacas

Our newest additions. Just a couple pictures for now. I'm way too exhausted to make a long post with photos. So for now, be satisfied you got even this much!

022
This is Moe. We have four. No prize, but can you guess the other three alpaca's names?

024
They make a really funny humming sound. This is Moe again. Figured out the others yet?

035
This is a different one. Unnamed to you. I'll let you know the others tomorrow...or at least this one's name.

Have you guessed yet?

Humming with the alpacas,

Our Garden

Our garden has been producing amazing vegetables this year but I didn't take pictures of the vegetables. (Well one, a monster zucchini but I'm waiting for it to get even bigger before posting that!) I took pictures of the flowers. Enjoy! Oh and there's also some new lamb pictures too!

037
Our ram Billy: Whatchu lookin' at?

053
One of our many sunflowers.

058
I hate bees but I love this picture!

060
Ditto.

064
Love the water droplets.

070
Love the color effect!

072
Up close and personal.

097
Can you guess what this is?

089
Billy's newest offspring, though probably not for long. We have at least one more ready to pop.

Drowning in sunflowers,

Rocky

My Rocky. He's such a good boy. He's now a whole of 8 years old and for those who do not know horses, he's still pretty young. In many ways, he reminds me of a little kid. He's extremely well-behaved for as young as he is and still green in a lot of aspects. He truly wants to please though and that is most important.

Rocky was my Valentine's Day gift this last year. I've only had him for five months but it feels like so much longer. We had heard about him from Uncle G, his neighbor was looking to sell him. He'd never ridden Rocky so he had no idea how well-trained or not trained he was. He was very friendly but I was concerned with him being so young and unused for at least a year that he would be very much like a two-year-old (just learning to be under saddle). We ended up riding him around in a halter and saddle no problem. He wasn't scared of anything and plodded along as slowly as he could. His only flaw? He didn't like water. Not a deal breaker for me though and we tested him out for a month. He was great the whole time and I wanted him.

So while I was gone taking care of my mom's pets while she was away, Matt bought him for me and I came home to my big beautiful boy. At the time though, he was rather skinny.

He went from this:

002
So skinny and lacking in all muscle tone.

008
He had the start of a decent butt (something quarter horses are well known for) but it needed a lot of work still!

To this:

040-2
Look at the weight he piled on in no time!

010-3
*Drool* Now THERE is a quarter horse butt!
