The "Zoo"

As a special birthday treat for Jude, we visited a nearby petting zoo/animal refuge.  We followed the "zoo" signs up a narrow switchback road.  A local family runs it and visited with us while we played with the animals.  They have a rescued bear, wolf, llama, and camel.  Additionally they have Australian deer, geese, pigs, rabbits, peacocks, sheep, a horse, a donkey, emus, plus a few I forgot.  Most of these are in one giant pen and are very friendly, especially one little piggy that wouldn't leave our ankles.  It was an immersion petting zoo experience like none we've had before, and lots of fun.

This is the little pig Artur that likes people (and milk) more than other piggies.

Artur especially loved Max.  

A 10-day-old goat that let us love on her.
