You let him out? Let him out. Come on, Topper. Come on, buddy. Come on, Top.
What you doing, Pookie? Pookie. Pookie says she is more interested in grass than me this morning.
I don't blame you. Trying to get that last little bit because they're showing some
enough cold weather possibly coming next week. Early December. Yeah. I say show enough cold
for us. I mean like in the 20s, 25-ish. Something like that for the low. I don't know what the high
was though. Yeah. I don't know what the high was. That's a little ways off, so we can't go by that,
can we, girl? Oh, goodness. What's going on, y'all? Jason, Holly, of course, Pocket over there,
aka Miss Pook. I hope you guys are having a wonderful, wonderful day today.
I hope today ends up being wonderful. I'll tell you what, right off the bat,
it is beautiful. There is not a cloud in the sky this morning. Well, maybe a few back yonder, but
where I'm standing, I mean, it is just gorgeous. Fall, got fall weather finally. Beautiful, beautiful,
beautiful. We do have a, we do have something I hope ends up being fun today and goes well
with Pocket. And yeah, let's go. Let's go see if, go see how this works out. Holly, you leading the
way? You leading the way? You don't have a toy there, do you? You don't have a toy in your mouth,
do you? Can I see it? Can we throw it? You ready? So we're going to try something because we want
Pocket to kind of get used to the animals over here. And we do let her out in this area,
as you guys have seen, and we got her out here now. Just open up the gate so she can come over
here. Of course, the cows, I don't, where are the cows? Oh, they're way over yonder.
Way, way over there on the backside of the pasture over there. But generally the cows have been
hanging out over here and that's usually the first place she goes to is over to the cows and smells
and checks the cows out. And vice versa, the cows come and smell and check her out as well. Of course,
the goats and the donkeys, they all see her through here and Jessie's still a little unsure of Pocket.
Not quite for sure why. Jessie's usually the, one of the most curious animals here on the farm.
Oh, this is the closest we've ever seen them right here. This is the closest we've ever seen
them right here now. So bringing Pocket out here every day looks like it's working because
Jessie and Honey, nope. Honey is, look at there. What one of these does, the other one does.
Yeah. So if Jessie acts like she gets spooked, Honey takes off too. Yep. What are they about?
15 foot from Pocket? 20? Yeah, this is by far the closest the donkeys have gotten to
to Pocket right here. Your name's Holly.
Your name's Holly. She said it can be, Pookie. It can be. Yeah. Jessie, you sure are close to Honey.
You think she's going to protect you if anything happens? Maybe. Is that your BFF?
Miss Honey? Yeah. She's slowly inching over there to you, which is good. I like her being slow
because Jessie hasn't moved yet. Yeah, introducing them slowly is definitely the best way to do it.
Yeah. Because Jessie's already doing better than what she has been. Way better. Honey too.
I think if it was just Honey over there, I think Honey would... Honey would stand here. She would
stand there, but Jessie's the leader. And so she does what Jessie does. She said, I'm in this grass
and I'm not coming up. And this is her first time out this morning. Peaches is in the grass too.
Peaches is doing a little rooting. I don't know what she's got down there,
but I hear some chomping. Do you? Y'all still scared of her? She's not going to get y'all.
I promise you. She will not get you. Donkeys aren't scared of Holly at all, are they? Oh, no.
I'm about to need some hay for the cows, don't we? That lasted two weeks, didn't it?
Close to it? Yeah. Peaches, I'm pretty certain that Pocket doesn't want your little
rooting area over there. Pretty certain of it. She said, what do you know? She's headed
right towards it. Oh, here we go. And there they went. Pocket, I don't know what's wrong
with them, baby. I just don't know. Let's see what happens now, though. They're working just
a little bit at a time. Let's see what happens now. That was the closest they've gotten to each
other. Y'all can see Jesse and Honey are right there, which is still closer. Closer than they
have been. Yeah, way closer. Bootsy's come to visit, and, of course, Peaches. Peaches and
Pocket are, I don't want to say they're best friends by all means, because they're not,
because Peaches don't like Pocket to mess with her when she's trying to do something like this
right here. And Pocket's just curious. She's just trying to see what you're doing, Peaches.
Exactly, that's all she's doing. Jesse wants to, don't she? She does. She really does.
Oh, goodness. That was Peaches. That scared you, girl? I don't know what makes her so scared.
She's going to come back for another round here, isn't she? She's definitely doing better. Way
better. Uh-oh, Pocket's got her head up. Jesse, you're a character. I'm proud of Jesse. I am, too.
Pocket could care less. Yep. What'd you think there, Aunt Jesse?
So, this actually wasn't our big plan today. It just turned out that way, because Jesse was
really, really, really curious this morning. But we would like to, and we're thinking,
Topper. We would like to bring one of the goats in here, and we think it's probably going to be
Topper, because he's so laid back. But if Tip were to come in here, I think it would be fine, too.
Tip's laid back, as well. Or if both of them came in here, I think it would be okay, don't you?
I think everybody's fine, except for Bootsy. She's the kind of dominant of the crew, and
Semi tries to take charge of the situation. And I think Tip, if Tip and Top were to come in here,
they could hold their own, too, if she wanted to push somebody around.
And look who's coming. Of course, Bootsy's the one that's going to come. Boots.
We don't want to see what you'll do. We don't. We try to keep this drama free.
You're a sweet girl. Let's see if we can get over here. Peach has got her nice little
hole built there, don't she? Yes, she said, bring me.
They're going to hold up on that, Jessie. Not quite yet. Come here. Y'all two are the last
two we need to put in there with her right now. Come here. You all right. What you think?
What you think about her? She's a sweet girl. Yeah, she's a sweet girl.
Are you sure? Tip. Look at him. He knows his name. Skipper Tipper. Come on, boy. Come on, buddy. Come
here. I bet if I got a little food. Oh, they all come in. Tip would come. Come here, Top.
Come here, buddy. Look here. We've got somebody we want you to meet. Come here. Come on, Top.
Come on, buddy. Come on. Come on. I found a piece of grass, mama. Hang on.
Come on. Come on, Top. We'll bring you right back. We'll bring you back.
Here comes Big Top right here. Let him out. Let him out. Come on, Topper.
Come on, buddy. Come on, Top. What you doing, big man?
What you doing, big man? Hey, buddy. Hey, buddy.
Oh, she's coming to him. Come here, Topper. Come here, buddy. He said, why did Peaches dig this
hole? When he sees her, he's going to jump. It's just instinct. Yeah. You're okay. You're okay. I
promise you. Look at his hair. She knows he's in here. She doesn't care. Yeah, she knows and she's
just this. Look behind you. Other way. There you go. Jesse's going to make sure nothing happens.
Jesse said, I know what they did to you, Topper. They're going to referee. She's going to be the
referee. I know what they did. You going to let Tip in? Yeah, let Tip in. He might show her more
interest. We're going to let Big Tip in and see what happens. Yeah. You did good, though. She's
not showing much interest, is she? Not much at all.
I'll knock my camera over. Come here, Tip. What you think?
Huh?
Oh, goodness. Tip's a lot more confident than Topper is. He is. He really is.
She said, that tickles, Daddy. Tickles. I was rubbing her on her side and it's a spot that
gets her and she shows her teeth every time. Yeah, the goats are. These two, anyways,
showing no interest. Really? They don't care. They don't. I reckon what Big Joe would do. Oh,
my goodness. We don't want to go there, Jackson. I reckon he'd quarter. If we do,
I'm not bringing him over here. I'll let you have that. Let me know when you get finished.
Oh, goodness. Oh, goodness. You know, I almost wish Tip would live with her. Yeah, I know.
It's so aggravating at feeding time. It'd be easy to separate him to feed, him and Pocket.
You know, it wouldn't be a bad idea, really. I would be. Oh, goodness. I hate to put Tip in
with the boys because he's just, he's small. Boys feeding Moe and Joe. Right. And Topper,
he's no trouble. I mean, it won't hurt to try it, you know. Tip, he honestly will not care.
Look how thick her winter coat is already, y'all. That's when it came in, how thick it is.
Come summertime, she's going to be slick. What's she doing with your mouth? She likes
me to scratch her right there. Oh, yeah. Look at her. Look at her teeth. That feels good,
don't it, girl? That's about where I had her, I think. Right there? Is that your spot? Right
there. Is that good or bad? Watch her. And what she'll do is, I noticed this yesterday. She leans
So, if I scratch right here, she's going to move until I get to that spot. See? Oh,
your mouth. It's so funny. Right there. Oh, I got to video her teeth.
Goodness, girl. Oh, goodness, girl. Yeah, I noticed yesterday when I was doing that,
she kept moving until I hit it. Tip, do your mouth like that.
Do your mouth like that. I will never.
Top got him some water in his beard soaking wet. See it? He didn't go mess with the camera?
Of course. No, he didn't mess with the camera. I can't believe it.
Pocket, you know we got a scratching post. We do, we do. Have you even found the scratching
post, Pocket? Surely, she's seen the scratching post. Her, her mama tried to show it to her when
they first came. She even rubbed herself on it, trying to show Pocket. Hey, Bramble.
You see the goats are all over here. They're really, neither one of them is kind of paying
attention to the other one. What you say, Bram? All right, y'all, Capri won't see him now. Capri
is very, I mean, Capri is fearless. Absolutely fearless. Come on. Everybody cleared out, didn't
they? All she does is just, she likes to put her nose on Peaches. Yeah, and Peaches acts like she's
trying to kill her. Mm-hmm. Look, there's Bo in there with her. Bo's right in there with Capri.
Sneaking her head around the corner there. Here comes Bo again. Y'all can see Pocket is just,
she's not showing them much interest at all. Pocket's food's gone. If anything, it's just
like some, just some on the side, and there's nothing in there that can hurt the goats.
I must say, I figure Pocket would be more interested in the goats than she is,
honestly. And the goats don't care about her? Not really. I'll tell you what let's do. What's that?
Jessie and Honey are over there. Okay. Do you want to shut the gate and see what everybody else does?
So what Brooke's saying is, is Jessie and Honey are in that pasture over there, and she's going
to close this gate right here, where we don't have to worry about Jessie and Honey, right there.
And the goats and all can come visit. Here comes Pocket. Here comes Pocket.
No big deal to Pocket. No. Come here, baby. Pocket is truly fearless. She is. I mean,
that's what I should say. More so, she's comfortable. Very comfortable. Pocket might
get to Zooming. She might. Jessie said, now wait a minute. Here comes Jessie. You're in my area now.
Uh-oh, Parris. Boy, Parris walked right up to her, didn't she? He sure did. I mean, walked right up to her.
Is she running? She's got a little trot going, don't she? Boy, she got over in that open area and said
she's gonna, she's gonna let it fly, aren't you, girl? Hmm? Well, y'all, she got to running
something over yonder. I think because it's a big open area, and she could just
let her hair back and go. But she let us know that she wanted to come back over here, so we let her
back over here. And I must say, that went really well. That went really, really, really well. So,
I don't see any issues with her and the other animals except the donkeys. And
that, that was, uh, that was really good. That was really good and fun. Yeah, lots of fun.
Look out, look out.
You want me to put some shavings out? You gonna help me?
Now, now, thanks, girl. Thanks, girl. I gotta go. I gotta go put some straw in Gus Loretta's
hut. Yeah, I would take you with me. Yeah, I would take you with me, but I better not, right?
I better not. I must say, I am quite proud of you. I am. I'm quite proud of you of
being Pocket's companion over here. I am. I am. Me and Mama, we're gonna talk about it.
And, uh, we may add, we may add a goat or two over here. Yeah.
Yeah. But you're doing good, girl. You're doing real good. Yes, you are.
I see you. I see you. Those two lovebirds, they out there snoozing, aren't they?
They are. Oh, Gus heard me. Here he comes. Here he comes. I got him a pumpkin too.
You ain't gonna tell your bride. You're not gonna wake your bride up. I can't believe that.
You're not gonna let your better half know I'm over here. I mean, come on, Gus.
Here she comes. Never mind. I see her. She's coming now. I wasn't gonna let Gus have all this pumpkin.
No, I was not gonna let you have it all.
There y'all go. Have at it. I gotta go get your straw put in now.
And they will situate this like they want it, kind of like Peaches does,
except they're not as good as Peaches, but they'll get it fixed like they like it. They sure will.
Y'all look at these two right here. Oh, stinking stunt. You can't court me, brother.
Not at all. Not at all. You can go find somebody else to court, like Moe, but I'm not. I'm not
having it, sir. All right, girl. Got you and Gus fixed up over there. Got y'all's bed ready. Now,
it's gonna be up to Gus now to make it up, okay? I want him to make it like you like it now.
I'll have a talk with him about that, okay? But you enjoy that pumpkin. Got y'all ready
for cooler weather. And in the meantime, y'all be good. Right, girl? That's right. Oh, my goodness.
