I missed my two fur babies while I was away, but they were safe at home with hubby. Fortunately, everywhere I went, pets were available to cuddle, play with and walk. My granddaughter has a menagerie of animals at her place. Here’s a few pictures of the pets I spent time with.
She even has goats to play with.
I got to walk my friend’s granddogs too.
But I was very happy to come home to my two girls.

awe! How awesome that you got to spend so much time with the animals! That is great!

I’ve always thought that I’d love to have a goat in my family!

Goats make greta pets if you have the outdoor space for them. Fortuantely my granddaughter has enough space for three of them.

A wonderful menagerie! We always miss our kitties while we’re gone and after they get over being offended with us, it’s a happy reunion. 🙂

We had cats in Vancouver and when ever we went away, they would give us the cold shoulder at first when we returned. xo

How fun to have so many animals to play with. Your family is surely an animal lover. I bet you were happy to go back to your two girls. Have a wonderful weekend, Darlene.
October 16, 2021 at 7:36 am
Thanks, Miriam. We are a very animal loving family to be sure. Have a great weekend yourself.

Wow! You didn’t want for animal company during your visit. What fun!!

That’s a lot of fuzzy lovin going on around there. You are so lucky to have so much available to you. I would think the goats would be the most entertaining but there is nothing like coming home to your own furry family. I love petting neighbors and family member’s pets since I can’t have any myself. A real day brightener. Glad your trip went well and you are safe at home again.

Thank you so much. If you can’t have pets, the next best thing is to love on other people’s. Some of our friends like to pet and play with our dogs to get their pet fix in. Of course, our dogs love the attention!

I’d call this a Pet Paradise! How wonderful. I’ll have to share this with my friend Diane, the one with the five pups that I helped to move. And I love those goats.
October 16, 2021 at 5:19 pm
It was pet heaven for me. Diane will understand. I hope her pets have settled into their new home. Goats are the best!!

When I come home after being around another dog, my pooch looks at me like, “Just who have you been petting?”
October 16, 2021 at 5:18 pm
Oh yes. They know when we´ve been cheating on them. I had a 13 hour flight between so I don´t think my girls noticed, although I think they detected the goat smell on my jeans. 😉
October 16, 2021 at 5:24 pm
How lovely all those pets and those goats are delightful 🙂
October 16, 2021 at 5:29 pm
Thanks, carol. The goats are so cute and fun, until Bean peed on my foot!
October 16, 2021 at 5:48 pm
I think it did. I arrived back in Spain safe and sound and didn’t get sick. So all good!!
October 16, 2021 at 8:03 pm
Beautiful pictures for animals. Got is owne. I like animals.you love to pets.
October 17, 2021 at 1:26 am
Love this post. I agree with everything. Your dogs are darling. My daughter lives in a condo, not appropriate for a dog, so dogsits to get her puppy fix. She gets pretty booked!
October 17, 2021 at 3:26 am
Dog sitting is a good way to get your doggie fix! Good for her. Glad you enjoyed the post.
October 17, 2021 at 1:30 am
All the photos remind me of the sentiment, “Pets are people too!” 😀
October 17, 2021 at 3:27 am
They certainly are and they are an important part of the family.
October 17, 2021 at 5:25 am
Hi Darlene, what a lovely post about pets. I’ve seen goats at farms we’ve visited and people do become very attached to them. Your daughter certainly has her hands full with so many pets and animals.
October 17, 2021 at 5:31 am
She loves animals and is in her glory. She actually runs a boarding kennel for dogs. So there are usually lots of dogs around besides her three. Another example of someone following her dreams. I’m so proud of her.
October 17, 2021 at 8:53 am
Love the assortment of “pets”!! How cool….I love animals and could hug all of them!! The goats were super cool!! Thanks for sharing!!
October 17, 2021 at 10:03 pm
Me too. I love them all but those goats are pretty cool.
October 18, 2021 at 3:45 am
I truly didn’t expect them as I was going through the captures! I had a big smile on my face with all the dogs and cats and then the goats really widened my grin!!
October 17, 2021 at 11:46 am
Hi, Darlene – I’m glad that you are home safe and sound. I bet Dot and Lia are very glad of this as well!
October 17, 2021 at 10:01 pm
My girls were so happy to see me. When they picked me up at the airport, Lia´s tale wagged so hard and fast it hit Dot in the face as she tried to get to me. Too funny.
October 17, 2021 at 11:46 am
I’ve experienced many animals and the ones that are most unpredictable and entertaining are goats. It’s like they are clowns, sneaky, mischievous clowns that want a laugh and the greener grass on the other side of the fence.
October 17, 2021 at 10:00 pm
Goats are the best. I´m glad my granddaughter has the space for them.
October 17, 2021 at 2:58 pm
Lovely post, Darlene. And the two previous. I’m glad you had such a good trip home to Canada.
October 18, 2021 at 1:09 am
You were indeed surrounded by a menagerie of animals, I’m sure you enjoyed them all.
October 18, 2021 at 2:53 am
They were so much fun to be around and kept me from missing my two, too much. We are a family of animal lovers.
October 18, 2021 at 3:21 am
A menagerie indeed! How wonderful to spend time with them. How long were you away?
October 18, 2021 at 7:23 pm
Love this!!! Oh they are all so gorgeous. Great pics! Especially love the one of Lexi with her pillow, it so captures the activity! And goats wow how absolutely amazing. As a huge animal lover totally relate to each and every photo. So heartwarming thanks for sharing!

So pleased you loved these pictures, Peta Lexi has been in our family for 11 years, my granddaughter’s first dog. She loves her pillow and sucks on it while she sleeps sometimes. Spending time with my granddaughter is so much fun as she always has a lot of animals around and now she has goats to play with! How lucky am I. Not surprised you are a huge animal lover like me. xo
October 18, 2021 at 10:34 pm
Awww… adorable!
October 18, 2021 at 10:52 pm
So many wonderful furry friends, Darlene – bet you got all kinds of snuggles and cuddles. And I love the name Motorhead for a cat, lol.
October 18, 2021 at 11:07 pm
That is such a cool name and he is one cool cat too. Yes, lots of snuggles as well as fun with the goats too.
October 19, 2021 at 3:35 am
How wonderful to have lots of adorable pets on your visit – they all look so friendly!
October 19, 2021 at 4:38 am
They are all very friendly and well behaved. My granddaughter is very good at training her pets.
October 19, 2021 at 8:03 am
Glad you’re back home with your hubby and babies. They are adorable. Can’t believe one sleeps with a pillow. Mine would have chewed it up! Fun pictures of animals on your trip — loved the goats!
October 19, 2021 at 8:12 am
I had a great time with family, friends and pets but I am glad to be home. The goats were a real treat.
October 20, 2021 at 12:13 am
Darlene, you sure were surrounded by some awesome pets. You looked like you had a great time visiting your granddaughter. The pets (and your granddaughter) must have kept you from being lonely for your pets (and your husband). ❤
October 20, 2021 at 2:14 am
They were all so awesome and kept me in pet heaven until I got back home! Thanks, Carol.
October 21, 2021 at 10:13 pm
Oh my gosh, Darlene. I’m sitting here on (my) Thursday morning smiling ear to ear. I love animals. I love the smiles they bring to us. I love the cuddles. I love your post. 🙂
October 21, 2021 at 10:17 pm
Just another thing we have in common my friend, the love of animals. So pleased you enjoyed the post. Each one of these pets gave me lots of smiles.
October 22, 2021 at 4:55 am
Dog hugs are a salve for my soul. I love the photos you post of your two cuties on Instagram and FB. 🙂
October 23, 2021 at 4:33 am
I love all your pets! They are so cute. Thank you for sharing them with us!
October 23, 2021 at 4:52 am
We tend to be a pet loving family so every where I went, there were pets to love. Thanks Wanda.
October 28, 2021 at 2:19 am
What lovely animals you have, I love dogs and goats.
October 28, 2021 at 2:23 am
I have the last two dogs. All the others belong to my family and friends. I love them all.
October 28, 2021 at 3:02 am
I suppose the nice thing is they are like grandkids then, when you have had enough you can give them back. Sorry couldn’t resist 🙂

It looks like the love of animals runs in the family Darlene. What fun to have so many to visit and cuddle, Including the goats! I bet your two special pups were very happy on your return.
October 30, 2021 at 5:26 pm
Thanks, Sue. We certainly are a family of pet lovers. Lia was so happy to see me she wagged her tail so hard it hit Dot in the face as she tried to get to me too. It was so great to be back home with them. xo
November 11, 2021 at 4:56 am
Wonderful photos of all these darling creatures! I love goats…so adorable!
November 19, 2021 at 9:58 am

November 19, 2021 at 6:25 pm
Thanks! I know, I was careful not to show my girls about my Canadian pets. xo

So many fun animals! And goats!!! My fav! I have had a great time at the beach but ready to go home to my kitties!
October 16, 2021 at 7:32 am
Your kitties will be so happy to see you. I thought of you when I met the goats as I know you love them. xo
