**"Owning Sheep as Pets: Because Who Needs a Normal Pet When You Can Have a Fuzzy Lawnmower?"**

🐑 Tired of owning cute and cuddly pets that actually show affection? Look no further! Sheep are here to grace your life with their aloofness and undeniable charm. Here's what it's *really* like to own sheep as pets:

1. **Emotionless Companions**: Enjoy the company of pets that will never show excitement, love, or anything resembling human emotion. Sheep are masters at keeping a poker face.

2. **Living Lawn Ornaments**: Forget about spending hours mowing your lawn; sheep are natural lawnmowers on hooves! Sit back and watch as they munch their way through your meticulously planned garden.

3. **Cuddles? Nah!**: If you enjoy being rejected by your pets when seeking affection, sheep are the perfect match. They'll look at you with disinterest as you attempt to pet them, wondering why you're disturbing their all-important grazing time.

4. **Walking Fashion Statements**: Embrace the stylish look of hay and grass stuck to your clothes after every interaction with your sheep. Who needs a lint roller when you have fluffy, fuzzy friends?

5. **Escape Artists Extraordinaire**: Prepare for the excitement of playing "Catch the Sheep" as your woolly companions repeatedly attempt to outsmart you by escaping from their enclosures.

6. **Endless Wool, Anyone?**: Enjoy the never-ending supply of wool, even if you have no idea what to do with it. Knitting a sweater, anyone?

7. **Baaa-rilliant Conversations**: Revel in the stimulating conversations with your sheep, where they express their opinions through a variety of impressive "baa" sounds.

*Disclaimer: Owning sheep as pets may lead to an abundance of grassy lawns, limited emotional connection, and a newfound appreciation for the simple joys of non-responsive companions. Be prepared for a unique, woolly journey with these fluffy, four-legged characters! 🐑🌾*

Baxter Black…
Will be missed

We’re saddened to hear about the passing of Cowboy Poet, Baxter Black. Baxter made his mark in the world with his humor, humility, and honest assessment of life – may his legacy last a long time. He will be missed!

In your honor below is your last piece written…

Baxter Black's final column: A horse matters

Posted Wednesday, January 5, 2022.

By Baxter Black

I like living someplace where a horse matters.
There is just some country where horseback is the only way to get the job done. Places where the four-wheeler is a poor second, not to mention a noisy, track-leaving unnatural conveyance. Besides, it’s hard to throw a rope from.
Helicopters can spot and scare, if that’s what you need, but it’s helpless when you have to doctor a calf. It is a great feeling to be pushing a cow out of a mesquite thicket, packing a dude down the Grand Canyon or tracking a mountain lion on a high ridge, knowing you’re on the perfect tool for the job. You look at a horse different when he’s on the payroll.
I like being a person to whom a horse matters.
It puts me in such good company, Robert E. Lee, Teddy Roosevelt, Rudyard Kipling, Ray Hunt, Queen Elizabeth, Jerry Diaz, Casey Tibbs, cowboys, Mongols, Gauchos, teamsters, Lipazzaners and vaqueros of all kinds. Granted being a horse person doesn’t make me easier to get along with, better at spelling or richer. It simply gives me a direct connection to one of the most ancient, mutually beneficial interspecies relationships on the planet.

Winston Churchill said, “There is something about the outside of a horse, that is good for the inside of a man.”

I like being there when a horse matters.
When you can’t do the job alone; a cow in the bog, a race against time, a boulder to move, a detour to take, a mountain to cross, a crevice to leap, a war to win, a sweetheart to impress, or...when you’ve gone too far to walk back.

Shakespeare’s King Richard III said when fate hung in the balance, “A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!”

I’ve also come to believe that you either are a horse person or you aren’t. Many who are, never know it because they never have the chance. It’s a primitive acceptance, often mutual. A lack of fear. You see it in some children when they are first introduced to the horse. It always gives me a sense of wonder to be there and help them make their acquaintance. I believe the horse can sense the child’s innate trust. It is the beginning of a natural bond.

I count myself very lucky that I get to be a part of the wonderful world of horse sweat, soft noses, close calls and twilight on the trail.

I like living a life where a horse matters.

We are incredibly heartbroken to share that PSGR's Founder & Director, Barbara, passed away over the weekend after suffering a sudden cardiac arrest last week.

Barbara founded PSGR over 20 years ago and had since dedicated her life to the rescue, care and finding forever homes for countless goats and other farm animals. She not only changed the lives of so many animals but of so many people as well.

Barbara made it very clear that she wanted the rescue to continue in the event of her passing and she set it up so it could do just that. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, with a Board of Directors who has worked together for years, PSGR will continue her legacy of saving and placing goats into forever homes in the years to come.

Our priority right now is caring for the nearly 180 animals that we have saved who currently call PSGR home and finding forever homes for our adoptable goats & sheep so that we can continue to save lives.

Barbara's footprint will forever be cemented on the world of rescue and especially of goats. We are honored to continue her legacy ❤️
