Thankfully Zach had the good instincts to scurry on up to the porch to avoid getting trampled. Grandma ran off to the barn in search of sheep food (it's like cookies to these guys), and I ran to get my camera. Yes, I am oh so helpful that way. Then there was Louie, doing what farm dogs LOVE to do, NEED to do.
Louie ran his little paws off trying to herd those rascals back into the pasture. Ok, I actually don't think he was necessarily aiming for the pasture, he was just enjoying the art and sport of real herding (as opposed to just chasing the sheep in circles around the pasture.) And the part that sent us all into hysterics was my dad, chasing after the dog, waving his arms and yelling, trying to get him to stop. Good times. One minute we're planting banana trees and the next it's a full on rodeo show. Never a dull moment here on the farm.

LOL sneaky mule! They do look so pleased with themselves running free though, don't they? hehehe
That's hilarious! I would have totally been like you and headed for my camera. :) I'm sure Zach enjoyed the show (from the safety of the porch, of course). Good times!
hahaha and I... well, I got my camera! lol I am loving these posts Cindy, it looks and sounds like heaven. Planting banana trees!!! *sigh*
LOL, great photos. Just one thing...judging by the ears, I think Gurly is the one on the far end in the top photo, with her behind facing the camera?
Then it occurred to me that you meant the photo under the caption. Duh.
cute story and wonderful photos, especially the middle one, wow!
i *LOVE* that you went to get your camera. a woman after my own heart!!!!
Your photos are utterly stunning! So beautiful! It looks like a paradise. We had a cow stampede once when about 100 cows knocked the fence to come and graze in my flower garden. It only takes one rebel to get it started. :) It was pretty wild.
I can't believe you were able to capture these amazing photos in such a spontaneous, "frantic" moment.
