Big Critters

I don't know what you will think of these photos. We have pets, some house pets and some farm pets. They give our lives more fun especially when the children are still young. They make them natural playmates. And we have farm pets who think they are house pets. Sometimes, you will think the farm pets are really discriminated because they cannot enter the house, or if they do they are shooed away. On the other hand, the house pets can roam around the property without receiving any reprimand.

Pusa is a local term for cat, this one has the most 'creative' name, Pusa!

They are in military attention!  These are from three generations.

This is a farm pet, grazing around the property.  We have six of them. They have ropes on their heads so they will not go far from where they are left grazing. This is not roped yet because it is still a kid. 

When they were still kids, they enter the house for petting, and even when already old cannot get off the habit

This is a neighbor's farm pet, but its skin looks naturally dirty. And who will allow it to enter a house? It definitely is just relegated as a farm pet. Have you seen a cow inside a house!

  2. Lovely big critters! The trio form a great military team. I have been hoping to 'capture' some goats. Still hoping... As for cow in the house, I'm not sure about my daughter. If she is allowed, she might just let all the animals be in her bedroom.

  3. Cher of Sunray Gardens - thanks for the visit and the kind words.

    One - I laughed with what you said. We have chickens and pigs too. Can you imagine if a pig is inside the house too? My mother once saved a newly born goat from dying because it got wet from too much rain and its mother died, i forgot why. So Mother became surrogate and give its milk through a baby's bottle. It cries like a baby. When it grew up, it always come to the house when hungry even if it is already eating grasses and not milk anymore. It also tag or bite on my mother's skirt always. It was actually funny.

  11. Love your Pusa pics. Absolutely cute!!! I've been to places where they allow chickens and other farm animals into their house. It was fascinating.

  12. Andrea, your post made me smile. We just made a home for an abandoned kitten, and I must say it takes a lot of patience. But she is teaching us well... 4 a.m. she cried loudly to say she had eaten her entire bowl of food. ;)

  17. That tiger cat has the most beautiful green eyes! Your goats are adorable~we have a lot of them roaming around our farm, and they are all pets too! That cow looks awfully skinny. I have had a calf or two in my kitchen when they were born during cold weather, but I certainly wouldn't want a grown one in the house.

  21. It's nice for kids to grow up with animals around them. You were lucky. When I was a kid, we were not allowed pets. My mother said she already took care of six monkeys (she had five children ;-) ). When my honey finally did get a dog for us, it was a beautiful Dobie we adored, but he was not allowed in the house.

    [Yes I was in a boat when I took the bridge shot... but we were moving past it, not through. It was the type of shot I had taken pre-digital days - but with SEVEN bridges - and I wanted it again... yet four is the best I could get. You too find some bright spots in this very wet and dreary day, Andrea!]

  23. Hi Andrea - love your photos, don't want to pick a favourite (... OK, it's the goats).
    In the UK at this time of year, there are cute animal calendars on sale everywhere. These photos are better.

  26. I love the farm pets - the goats are so cute! That's awesome that they love to be pet even as they get older!

  27. I love all the 'big critters'. Oh, Andrea, your farm animals and provincial escapades reminds me so much of my childhood. You are still living out my long gone memories of those carefree days. When I see these pictures, I realise how much I still miss my beloved (but departed) parents and grandparents. Cows do wander into the temple compound where I stayed and I used to help my grandma collect cow dung for her bougainvilleas. My grandma and me even witnessed a cow gave birth to a calf one stormy evening. The pregnant cow went into labour in the temple grounds and luckily the owners came on time to assist. What an unforgetable experience it was for me.

  28. Francisca - I guess your mother had a hard time with the six monkeys that she cannot anymore tolerate even an additional 1 dog! haha. We always had animals when we were young. I remember when my father give our puppy to a friend who wants it so much. Nobody talked to him for 2 weeks. It just changed when he came home one day with another puppy.

    b-a-g -- thanks for your kind words, if only i can make calendars and sell it to UK, maybe i will be very happy!

    Annie - as Carol said maybe it is only in India where a house can be in a house, but maybe that is also a speculation. It is too big for the house. LOL

    Autumn Belle - I guess we all remember with nostalgia our childhood days. Malaysia is already very metropolitan and the old kampung already looking like modern subdivisions now. My friend brought us to her old parents home, and it doesn't look like a province anymore. Maybe if you can come over, i can bring you to the provinces to see your missed childhood pictures. Come!
