Meet the Pets

Panda
Panda is the boss.  Used to roaming forests, he moved to Pinot Lodge with us last year.  Panda is a feisty cat, who ranges from a purring puss to quite savage.  He is tolerated for his mouse hunting abilities and even keeps the feral rabbit population down.
Ollie
Ollie is everyone's friend - he is a 2yo 'Jack Frost'.  Jack Russell crossed with Bichon Friez.   He has a great knack of building children's confidence in dogs as he begs them to like him.  Sometimes the terrier comes out as he barks at the moon, or possums or whatever it is out there at night.
Ginger and Pam love food!
Cass with Holiday
Then there are the horses:  Cass and her foal Holiday, born on New Year's Eve.  Ginger is Didi's pony and Pam was her first pony.
Finally we have 2 Arapawa sheep roaming the paddock.  Handy type of wild sheep that does not need shearing.  They are 2 ewes, so we will get a ram for them soon.
Over the fence there are Angora goats to be seen. Neighbours have alpacas and I can hear a stag roaring in a neighbour's paddock not far away.
