We Live In a Zoo - Our Belgium Animal Adventure

I have mentioned before that the team house we live in is on the property of a very interesting and entertaining Belgium family.  Included in their extended family is a horse, two donkeys, two dogs, sheep with new born little lambs, chicken, fish, ducks and a variety of birds.  Never a dull moment around here.
Egor the ladies man.  Due to his fondness of running after the ladies and causing havoc at every opportunity he gets he has to stay in the shed for the most part.  We make a point of treating him with some sugar cubes or apples every now and again.

Brother Love.  The two donkeys brothers Suzarre and Bill.  These donkeys are definitely not meant for pulling a donkey car.  They are a lot more like pets and come running from across the field when they see us coming.  A typical sibling fight erupts when the one is given more attention than the other. 

Mary Had a Little Lamb(s).  Soon after we arrived here in Belgium the sheep had two little lambs.  If you can handle the evil stare from the dad you can get close enough to touch the little guys.

Chicken dance.  Not sure what type of chicken this is but it looks a bit more like a cross between a chicken and a sheep.  This is just one of the many chickens that gives us the typical farmstyle wakeup call in the mornings.

Birds of a feather flock together.

We found Nemo. 

He looks a bit like a bouncer protecting the entrance to the family’s house.

Make love to the camera…  Fragile (yes she is named after “fragile” due to her size and breakability) is the little dog with no personality but sure does like the camera with this model look and pout.
