Unusual Pets - Annie at Arkaba Station Austalia

Filed Under Uncategorized |

Annie at Arkaba Station We have just returned from visiting my parents in Australia for a couple of weeks and I wanted to share with you this photo of me with Annie the sheep. Annie is an unusual pet that we met at Arkaba Station in the Flinders Ranges in South Australia.

Arkaba Station grazes approx 6000 sheep and each year they have lambs that are orphaned that need to be hand reared. Most return to the rest of the sheep within a year but Annie decided that she was going to stay with the Rasheed family as their pet. She roams between the Homestead and their two bed and breakfast cottages and will even sneak into the cottages if you are not careful! She has a bad habit of eating the pot plants around the homestead but she makes a great greeter and walks right up visitors to say hello. The Rasheed’s also have 5 dogs (some working sheep dogs) that roam the property and will also mix with the bed and breakfast guests.

We had a great vacation but it’s back to work tomorrow!
