luc While making stopover at our favorite organic farm, the last thing I expected was a charging animal. Full. Speed. Ahead. Making a blur of a beeline straight toward me as fast as possible and screaming. Loudly! I just wanted to take a few photos and pick up a few items; you know, have a peaceful visit.

As a city girl growing up in my beloved concrete metropolises, I had no idea what this animal had in mind except to attack. Yup, grew up on lots o’ television too. All I could think of was the title, “WHEN FARM ANIMALS ATTACK” brought to you LIVE from National Geographic’s Special Edition in France.

I looked around for signs of human life outside. But there was none. Except me. Where WERE they? Did this mad rocket on hooves kill everyone?? I stepped way back from the fence.

Of course, I WAS scared and started yelling, “What are you doing!!? Slow down you nutty beast!!” No response. Always remember: name-calling will get you nowhere. He kept charging….until he got to the fence.

Why didn’t anyone tell me beforehand????! This is Luc. He’s a baby, a very big baby, almost two month’s old. Luc’s mummy decided she wanted nothing to do with him after his extremely traumatic and difficult birth. So since birth, Luc gets a few bottles a day and I guess he thought I was there to feed him. He was so baaaaadly disappointed.

He is so cute! What great photos, too. I love the last one–he looks like he’s saying, “ha ha! fooled you!” I just want to give him a hug!

how cute is he! I’ve had an Irish setter jump out of her pen and chase me down the street! :)

That’s such a cute story! He looks so sweet with his head sticking out of the fence like that.

Due to my recent obsession with Irish sheep, I have to say that this post was extremely satisfying, and Luc is a hell of a cute fellow!

you’re good at stories! I liked the build-up of the suspense, your writing style and your humor!
I’m hoping to be back to check out your website more often…
