Sometimes, when we’re lucky, we get a lot of milk from our two goat ladies Allis and Esmeralda,

…and no one is more pleased than the sons and daughters of Sheba!

Goat milk stands very high on Eden guard dog menu, and even though the youngsters can’t smell it through the jar, they know that white stuff is creamy and delicious!

Ecco (Miss Uku) will gladly assist me in opening the jar, but despite her worthy efforts, the milk remains where it is.

Ronja (Miss Hudu) tries a different tactic, hoping that by sitting as prettily as she can, this will speed things up and get the milk quickly out of the jar and into the bowls where they belong. After all, this trick has been known to work before!

There are few things in the world of the Sheba Seven (both the Four at the office and the Three at the Ark) as good as goat milk.

Sandy - who’s been given it as a treat after all those water therapy sessions we’ve done (!) - LOVES it and guards it well!

The girls - who have been picky eaters but whose appetite is improving (much thanks to goat milk!) - get theirs with their morning meal,

…which is the best way of ensuring empty food bowls!

Only when the jar is empty, does Ecco work on her charms.”Could we have some more? Please…?”

Sandy guards his empty bowl well!

200910-dscn5263

..then cuddles up and does his version of “Could you please give us some more? Please…?” …I would if I had any!

In either case, the jar goes back empty!
