So a couple days ago I rode over to the spot with my camera thinking that it would be just me and the farm structures. But no, I found out differently once I stepped out of my little truck and starting taking photos.
First came the dogs, one by one
Racing down the road they came
Even a big Saint Bernard that wanted to check out the inside of my truck.
All were friendly, they just hung around me while I took my pictures

When I had almost finished my photos I heard quite a sound coming up the hill in back of the barn. Then rounding the corner came mules -- then horses -- galloping toward a fence section near where I stood. Then they stopped and began looking me over very inquisitively.
Mules taking a watch position in front of the barn.
Horses acted a bit bored with the whole thing.
Now I had four dogs, two mules and two horses all closely around me. I felt like I was at an animal party
As I finished taking photos, I thanked the animals for their hospitality.
Leaving the farm I took one last look at some of the official dog greeters. This was surely a new kind of experience for me.
