Rhinebeck: The Animals

Because it is, after all, a *Sheep* and wool festival. The various fiber-bearing animals that come to Rhinebeck put up with a lot during the weekend, so they deserve a post of their own.

Sheep aren't especially interested in humans. I don't blame them. They don't seem to enjoy shearing, so I'll deal with them turning their backs to me whenever I try to take a cute photo of them.

This blurry little dude was getting his diaper changed. Unreal. You should have heard the itty bitty little "baaaaa" that accompanied this photo.

These goats were way more personable than the sheep. And how can you not love that (mo)hair?

Playtime
Wait... that's not a fiber-bearing animal!
That's my boy Milo. He deserves thanks too. He put up with a 9 hour drive (each way!) and he's really not a fan of the car. What a trooper. 
He also got along great with his new friend (Shana's 12 week old Havanese puppy, Rufus) even if Milo did occasionally overwhelm him with his enthusiasm.

Playtime
Yay for Milo! Good job, little bud.
