This Is What Happens When Paint Girl Leaves Town

When I was at the Pony Cousin Stampede, I talked to my OH a couple times. One of those times he told me he had turned Chance and Brandy out together again. I trust his judgment and knew that he would keep a close eye on things. When I arrived home, my OH gave me his camera to look at all the picture's he took. Now I am very proud of my OH taking an interest in his new camera. When he bought it, I didn't think he would use it very much. But he is and even though he still has a lot to learn about taking pictures (me too, of course!) I am happy he is trying and that I have picture's of my girls hanging out together. So all of the picture's in this post are taken by my OH!



When my OH got home from work the first day we were gone, he let the goats out into my sister's boy's pasture. There were some weeds growing out of control and we all know how goats are such great weed eaters! They went right to work.



When he opened up the gates to Brandy and Chance's pastures, Brandy ventured up to Chance's pasture to check it out. She obviously found some food while she was visiting.



While Brandy was in Chance's pasture, Chance went to Brandy's pasture to snoop around.



I think Chance felt right at home here.



Don't try this at home!



Brandy eventually made it back to her pasture and shared a drink with Sadie.



The girls ended up sharing their first hay together.



Apparently Chance thought Brandy was her mom and decided she would try to nurse.



New best friends.....................



Just in case a goat gets out of control, Bailey stands guard on goat patrol, he will know what to do.



The horses did just fine together overnight. He had to separate them the next day to have everything ready for when my sister and I got home. Thank you OH for taking picture's of my girls day together!

Awwww! Love seeing Chance and Brandy sharing special moments together.
Your OH is really good with the camera for a beginner. He used the Rule of Thirds for many of his photos and made them very interesting to look at, too.
How sweet and thoughtful of him to take photos for you.

Love the photos and the fact that the girls got along so well. I bet Chance is happy to have Brandy to hang out with. You sure are trusting of your OH. He did super well!

Chance probably really loves being in a little herd of two. They look so good together--the dark and the light. Those goats are the cutest things I have ever seen. I just want to hug them. Have you had them since they were little babies? How cute is that?

very nice. My hubby would do the chores but I'm pretty sure no picure taking would be involved so you're guy gets a star for the day.

Chance was just checking to see if there was anything on tap...LMAO.

How nice of your OH to go the little extra mile with the crew AND to take pics. Whatttaaaa guy.;)

I bet it felt good to get home!

Tell OH "nice pics" :)

Awwwww I'm so happy they are getting along! And your OH (what does that stand for anyway? I've heard of DH which is dear hubby, but never OH) took some really awesome pictures!! I love the one of the goat chewing on her leg. Mine do that all the time lol. :)

achieve1dream~ OH stands for other half. We've been together for 15 years and aren't married, so he goes by the other half title!

That's great that they are getting along so well! When I first brought Piper home at 10 months old, she used to try to nurse on our 11 year old mare...I wish I had a pic of that but never did get one!

Awwww! How cute is all that! I love that your OH took pics for you! The boyfriend has talked about getting a camera, but I really don't think he'd use it much. lol
