BAA BAA and LALA THE LAMBS 

We found Baa Baa and LaLa Baby Girl (pictured above) at an auction in California. We heard from a rescue who was attending an auction to ask if we would take a few lambs or goats as there were some people there buying them and killing them in the parking lot.  What could we say - we said YES!!!! The two lambs were days old and we started bottle feeding them the second we got them in the truck.  It was one of the most rewarding and adorable processes and as a result they follow us around and come to their names.  We obviously had never kept sheep but we absolutely love and cherish and care for these little creatures more than you could ever imagine.   LALA is the queen of Skydog as she is Chris's favorite and she is a little spoilt and drives around in the vehicles with him having the time of her life.  

CHILLI the goat

We saved Chilli from a livestock auction with another sheep we called Grace.  Goats are the most fun EVER.   Tell me you can watch a baby goat hop and jump and skip and not laugh with joy.  They truly are the easiest little animals to keep and take care of - not messy, easy keepers, not really any work at all.  They are just fun.  It has been the biggest joy having him in our lives and to begin he lived in Malibu but came up with all the other animals a few months ago to Oregon and love all the space and other friends he has made.  He live’s in a special pen with the sheep and a few donkeys and they all get along perfectly which is great.  I hope hope hope that people coming to visit spend time with these animals and realize that they are living breathing sentient beings with feelings and friends and think twice about eating so much meat.  I never try and tell anyone never to eat meat or become a vegan but eating LESS meat makes so much difference - especially cows and sheep which are one of the biggest threats on public land to wild horses.  

GRACE THE SHEEP

Grace was picked up with Chilli the goat at a livestock auction in California when we were rescuing a mustang. We actually knew so little about these animals that we thought they were all goats as they were so tiny, then one day we realized that Grace was indeed a baby lamb. And we fell in love. They were the first tiny animals we had ever rescued and we learned a lot from You Tube Videos and our vet about making sure they were well taken care of and what to feed them and how to handle them. We might not have known all we know now but we knew their lives mattered and that we wanted to save them and let them live with kindness and love from the humans they encountered. So Grace is now at Skydog Oregon with all her Sheep and Goat friends and have been joined by LULU the lamb who spends a lot of time in the house with us being spoiled like every good sheep should be.

PLEASE donate to SKYDOG to help us keep providing for these animals and be able to take in more in the future. They deserve their lives and we would love to home more animals in need. They are all available to sponsor for 50 dollars a month and for that you will get more information on the animal you sponsor as well as regular updates on their progress. Thank you x
