It’s called “Silver Dreams” by DeeDee and Tom.  It’s the kind of place that could bring out the animal in me, but that would likely go unnoticed, since there are so many others already in residence.

That was my invite, to come visit this animal kingdom.  Set on a beautiful piece of the county, it’s easy to understand the “Dreams” part of the name.  “Silver” has to do with the three horses in the northwest pasture.  Their breed hails from Peru, which in addition to these noble beasts, is know for its silver.  The palomino's name is Oro, the red (chestnut) colored one is Fabio, and the strawberry roan is Dream.

Peru is also home to llamas, but not to the trio of Mulligan, Knight and Wizard.  They hang out in the area between the horses and the Belted Galloway cattle, (aka “oreo” cows   : )      The head llama is Mulligan.  With his lush white neck, he’s the one that looks most like a child’s oversized stuffed critter.  The black one is Knight, and the brown one’s name is Wizard.

Keeping guard over the place is a cadre of cute cats.  The majestic “ragdoll” is named Sunny, and his temperament is like sunshine on a chilly day.

The names of the other cats and all the cattle I can’t begin to recall, but Tom and DeeDee love and care for them all.  It was a delight to shoot such fabulous furry friends.  I'm a better...animal for having met them.
