Le you don’t need big animals to be a real farmer. I grew up on a poultry and citrus farm. You do look and act like a farmer to me ever since you took charge of a real farm. Don’t let anyone get you down. Keep doing what you do best. I’m proud of you.
@cashk100 LE, I am proud of you also!! Listen to Cash, that's all you have to do when some naughty person wants to take a slam at you!! You are a Great Farmer!! Thanks Cash, you couldn't of worded that any better!!! 🤗❤️👍🙋🏻♀️
@@vickiegundrum5509but the pastures need large animal to be maintained. Le is a good man. Step by step he will understand and he already begins to care about his fears. This is a big property and need cows for the grazings pastures. LE you’re on the good way. Thanks Megan to help him 🤞🏼🧡😊
LE, there is absolutely nothing wrong with having a fear of horses. And it isn't something easy to overcome. You work so well with the animals and have no reason to have any regrets about not working with the horses. Keep doing what you do!@
There’s a couple of people who troll the TH-cam channels to make an attempt at belittling the content creators and their subscribers. I’m in awe of what you all do and will continue to watch all these farm channels. It’s a lot of work and I admire your perseverance ❤❤❤❤
I liked this video. Thanks for telling about your history with horses. And Megan looks so lovely. And I want to tell you that I was so excited when you became the caretakers of the Sanctuary. You have exceeded my hopes and expectations.
We love you and Meg and everyone is different in different ways if truth be known even a horse person can see if the horse may be having a bad day or whatever so always good to as your dad says keep your head on a swivel xx England 🏴
Awww, Donkey Dan... I’ve never seen him so affectionate for that length of time. I bet he wanted his jaw and chin scratched, too! LE it takes time, but learn all you can about the names of tools, machinery, implements you use on the farm. You will get better at repairing and keeping the farm safe. You and Megan will find your farm/homesteading passions in time. God Bless.
LE, I hear your concerns about large animals. There is one thing you should check, though. Just check that all your what ifs don't become too much of a habit that it stops you from doing things. I understand these feelings absolutely they are real. Someone said to acknowledge your feelings and put them in my pocket. I tried this a few times on myself and my grandson. Well, it freed us both up a lot. It sort of helped us not think of the fear so much but concentrate on what we are doing and enjoy the moment more. Awareness without fear felt good.
I completely understand your concern about the horses or large animals. I was working for a man who asked me to spray antibiotics on his recently cut horse, as I did the horse bit me on my side. I had severe bruising and broken skin and that was through my clothes. I am reluctant to get close to a horse.
LE, we all recognize that you and your Dad are very different people, especially when it comes to the bigs. It's all good. You have always shown love to Ima Jean and Danny, and that will definitely work for us. I am wondering if you and Megan have made any future plans for the other pastures where the horses used to roam?
I totally agree with you LE… why be in the right if your hurt for life or dead… it don’t mean anything to be innocent but hurt… I would keep my guard up too… I have a fear of bugs too… and because of what happened to your family members, you have that guard up… don’t listen to the P-pats that are not walking in your shoes, they safely on the internet, you are out there doing it… You do you and ignore them… God bless and keep y’all safe!
OK. L.E., BUT your beloved football games are just as dangerous.. just go with your own and gut feelings.. it's your life.. MEGAN has a fear level then you do.. NO SHAME IN THAT.. You might find yourself interacting with all the donkeys ,and not realizing what you have done.. Are you good with the alpacas, I know okie Dokie is sweet now... but sometimes not so much Annie and ERNIE... ONE DAY AT A TIME . OH MY.. HOW ABOUT miniature ponies like gigi has and uncle dan..
LE, it pays to be cautious. You seem to have a very healthy respect for the larger animals. It’s much better to be cautious than sorry. I worry about your dad around the longhorns…
It's not silly of you LE, you are so right to be cautious. It's always Better to be safe than sorry. People make fun of me when I'm afraid to do things but I look at my fear as keeping me safe, that's the purpose of fear. It's to keep us safe, not foolish. AMEN❣ And if i was to hav cattle they would have to be hornless like pawpaw's moses. AMEN keep your fears LE & Meg, its to keep u safe! Bless your hearts ❤❤❣
Megan and LE, youll can get solar powered electric net fencing, for letting the goats out in the back pastures. They use them at Coghill, and at Random Major farms. The come in rolls of hundreds of yaeds,the stakes are attached, and it can be set up in minutes, or pulled up and moved after they have cleared 1area n the back pastures. If storms are coming and flooding is predicted, just pull up and roll up the net fencing , until the water goes down. You will surely bring them back to the little pasture at night, so they will not be in danger from predators. All you will have to move around with you are several bucket of water and a moveable water trough to keep water out there. Once they clear 1area, you just pull up the fence, move it to the next area and bring the goats out to the area so they can eat the forage plants every day.
LE, keep working on overcoming your fears. Learn the dos and don’ts for being around the larger animals and trust Megan to teach you. Yes, accidents can happen, but try not to live your life in fear of the animals you care for. You miss out on so much joy.
I am so happy the horses went to LHL's . I bet the donkeys are glad Rita's not there anymore. She is a spitfire, to say the least. They can relax now. I don't think the donkeys will or want to hurt you, LE. It's been a while since you've been with them. You'll relax. It seems like they really missed you guys. They want loving. You're doing an amazing job. Both of you are. Don't let what people say get to you. Not every animal is for every person. You're not Lester, you're LE. Hold your head high. You're doing an amazing job. You both are. And you're building a beautiful farm. Take your time and bring the animals you and Meg want to raise. I, for one, am enjoying watching your farm blossom. There is so much beauty there. 😊❤
Your smart& know what can happen with the big's so you give them the space they & you need, you adventurer in when you feel safe, its actually very smart Thanks for sharing the experience Stay safe 🙏✌️🐐🐴🐮
LE, being conscious and uncomfortable is nothing to be ashamed of. My Grandpa used to say “better to be aware and cautious than unconscious “. . Having been kicked a number of times (nothing serious but I do have knee issues). Accidents happen. You and Megan are doing great. It takes time even when you have been around animals all your life.
Actually, LE, you might like Little Gary. The Piney Woods cattle are very gentle, even described as docile. You might enjoy having your own herd of non-scary cows. Thanks for spot lighting the donkeys today!
Beverly, ivy & indi will be going to LHL too in the near future, but Dan & Ima will be staying at the sanctuary. Lester & Jami said so on their live today.
I love the idea of you guys taking Gary, maybe Ruby and Dani could also come and keep him company. They are smaller and super friendly so that would be a great way build up to being comfortable with some bigs. You and Megan are doing great at running the Sanctuary.
Hi guy's, I do hope you start to biuld the sanctuary back up. There's not a lot af animals left at ISS. Most of the rescues are now living at LHL. It will be interesting to see how you build the sanctuary up and make it more interesting. Cats and chickens are sweet but they don't make for gripping content. Good luck with your new plans to make the sanctuary great once more. 🏴
Possibly change the name since LE will only take “small” animals. Maybe be a “small animal rescue”. I am just checking in out of curiosity because (in my opinion) the content variety is no longer at Ima Survivor. I am not interested in spending my time looking at chickens, cats and ducks. Good luck to you though. Your dad Lester worked hard to create the sanctuary and you’re blessed to have this opportunity. I wish you and Megan all the best.
LE this is your and Megan place now. Rescue your passion. That what makes the farms all special. I can’t wait to see what you and Megan rescue and see how you grow ima survivor sanctuary. You will bring lots of blessings to babies who need you and Megan.
LE, just face facts You are a city farmer :) You like the farm life as long as it is cat's, dogs,chickens, and little animals... you have a huge fear.. everyone has a fear that for them is LARGE ... so just take care of what you feel safe in doing and hopefully Megan will handle the few larger animals that are there if not ... I'm sure your dad will take care of them... What you do with upkeep and feeding those you feel safe feeding... just do what you do and megan will hopefully fill in the rest...
Those donkeys sure do love Megan she definitely an animal person and they know it. I love how they love her all the animals do.There is nothing wrong with being cautious of the animals, that is really smart. We love you and Megan, for who you are. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.❤❤
Haha cows and horses always hold some danger no getting out of that. I understand though I had some experiences on the farm as well However, maybe the minis will help you work your way through it you will do an absolutely awesome job with the donkies
Hi LE, lovely to see that the donkeys will be there for a while. They will be an asset to the very back pastures once all the fencing is cleared of debris. I like the idea of being able to take the little herd of goats for a forage once or twice a week when the babies are a bit older. You or Megan or both could watch them for an hour or so whilst doing a live like a Q and A time. Perhaps a picnic lunch with the littles. Who knows you are the creative ones. ❤ Just could be me but when you are speaking to Megan I miss much of her input as she's not close enough to the microphone 😢 It got a little better today when you were closer to each other or she spoke louder. I am not trying to be nasty here, just letting you know in case others are having the same problem. Lovely video with the donkeys. LE you are you and don't change to be someone else ❤
LE, congratulations for working on your fears, though everyone is different. There is nothing questionable about you manhood. You are a great man. You are patient, kind, laid back, strong, great at sports, and extremely understanding. You never seem to judge others. You're very spiritual, and live your spiritual beliefs. It's obvious, you and Meg love each other. You belong together. You complete each other. Speaking of littles, when the time is right, you are going to be an outstanding father. ( No rush)😊 Please know that you and Meg are loved, respected, and cherished. Stay blessed.
I would love to see Lil Gary at ISS. I just worry about him so much at the J & L. At ISS someone is there more consistently. Once he is fixed he will be no threat to Moses and Billy in the other pastures. It would be wonderful if there was another rescue steer that could be his companion.
LE are doing fine and you’re starting out and you’re a good farmer and if you’re cautious that’s OK you’re not gonna get hurt as easy as somebody else would if they was not cautious you’re doing a great job. Don’t listen to people when they have negative comments.😊
Oh LE don’t let the haters get you. Your feelings are real. Just try and stop living the what if life.we can do that with everything we do. Including finding someone to love. ❤️🇨🇦🙏🇨🇦❤️
I have never been afraid of donkeys but I am horses. Every time I tried to ride one I got bucked off...l am kinda afraid of chickens and geese too...😅😅...love the stories and video.....❤😊
💙 I don't like being near animals that can push me around. Meal time is a dangerous time if you feed them all together. If we take risks & we get hurt it's that persons own fault for taking the risk instead of doing something a safer way right? AMEN?!
It is the same way in Ohio, pedestrians only has the right-a-way in a crosswalk when the light is red & traffic is stopped. Every State has different laws.
Im so excited for u guys' future LE. U and Megan are doing a great job! I love Danny Boy so much. He had the sweetest eyes and face. I just want to kiss him! Also maybe yall want some smaller cows like a couple mini Highland cows! Im so in love with them and plan on having some on my future homestead.
You definitely need your head on a swivel around big animals. You are 💯 You are also being subjected to toxic masculinity/ and traditional male roles and expectations. It is not surprising considering a lot of your audience really. Expansion is great if you can help more animals. 😊❤
Maybe you could try to seal off the pasture and try to get grass growing ? The donkeys are sweet. You’re ok LE. Everyone is different. You are not your Dad.
Le you & Megan are absolutely amazing at what you do for iss & all the beautiful animals 💗 so what if you're unsure been around the bigs knobody should have a go everyone's unsure about things in life you are not you're dad or mum you are you & we love you for it why anyone feels the need to pull someone apart because they are a little afraid of something honestly they need to give there heads a wobble it's not fun or clever it shows them as mean & cruel I'd rather be labelled as afraid of something but certainly not the uglyness of nasty comments please take it from me you & Megan are absaloutly amazing to all the baby's & too each other also , I've not thought once omg le's taken over it's going to go to sh@* & it's far from the truth I'm super proud of you both, I've watched from Maggie run so it's been a long time I watch everyone on the hill off the hill lhl & now j&l ranch, I love it & love all youse thank you for posting you are worth you're wait I'm gold such a beautiful caring young man as well as beautiful Megan you're future is going to be amazing 😍❤💙
We are all different each person has there own ochillies heel yours horses mine spiders it doesn’t define us keep doing l e you are awesome amazing man
You two getting Little Gary would be so awesome! He could live there so peacefully with y’all maybe with a gal pal or a guy pal. You two would be perfect for him! Only if you’re comfortable with it though! ❤❤❤
LE I do not blame you about horses. I am scared of them, I had a bad experience once when I was about 9 yrs old. Horses are beautiful, but at a distance.
Would you ever concider rescue mini horses or mini donkeys like your pawpaw and uncle dan have some time in the future? Also that side pasture could be good for the alpacas Annie Ernie and Okie
Hey LE, I understand what You mean by not trusting people will do the right thing. I trust no one! I had a Nephew who got killed by just trusting people who will do the right thing. His Traffic light turned green, and he just knew the traffic would stop, but it didn't. A young girl ran her Traffic Light and killed my Nephew instantly! He was riding his motorcycle❗️ That happened 4 years ago. As always, when the traffic light turns green for me, I make sure the traffic has STOPED. Love You Two, Please Take Care! Nancy
I am also extra cautious about red lights, not because of anything that has happened to me or mine, but just because. I always joke that I stop at green lights, because my brother runs red lights. 😂 In no way is that true, but it usually gets a laugh.
LE, I have an idea on what you and Megan can do with the far back pastures now that the horses(BIGS) have been taken to LHL. You have alluded that you have a fear of horses. What about ponies? They're horses, but just smaller than larger horses and bigger than miniature horses. Your dad had alluded that if the far back pastures aren't put to use with animals, they will go back to a state of decay(neglect) with grass growing high if they're not maintained. Also, your dad said said that the goats cannot be put in those far back pastures because the fencing is not goat fencing. Plus, you and Megan will still have Donkey Dan and ImaJean as Beverly, Indie and Ivy will be moved to LHL. I'm sure your dad will be okay if you bring in new rescues such as ponies for the far back pastures that need to be worked on. So whatever approach you take on, I'm sure many of your viewers will support you. Because let's face it LE, if the Sanctuary is going to focus on smaller rescues such as cats, chickens, rabbits, roosters or other feathered livestock, that's going to be a turnoff to some. Don't get me wrong. I love cats, but I will not watch if it's going to constantly feaature these kinds of creatures. Just saying and sharing. And good luck and God bless. All the best, have a pleasant day and stay warm.
Le i remember seeing the video of the horses kicking his legs while you were there i think it was buckees after being startled that was a frightening moment i didnt see the one with dixie so everyone should understand your fears of big animals not all farms have cows nd horses etc but at the same time you always need to be cautious of all animals ni matter what and you and megan are still learning the ropes nd doing a brilliant job with everything you turn your hands to nd your dad nd jamie are so proud of you everyone learns something new each day no matter how long you've being doing farming or whatever job we do stay safe all of you ❤
LE maybe you could go visit Kourtney and meet her herd to help you feel better around horses. I love horses but i respect they are huge and can be deadly. There are majestic creatures.
Awwww that makes me sad. The horses would love you. Ive been kicked and bit etc by horses but i still never shied from them. The horses can sense how someone feels about them and will act on that , the same as a dog.
I have worked the overnight shift for over 40 years. Even raising 4 kids basically on my own. I worked when they were sleeping, I slept while they were in school, I got up when they got home, and fed and bathed them and put them to bed, then I showered and went to work. Thats what worked for me. There is nothing wrong with being the "night shift " people on the hill.
I’ve always been leery of horses too and actually feel anxious just watching videos of them🤷♀️ but I love cows and have no qualms walking with them (no bulls) but def no way in the world would I hang with longhorns… I love them and can watch all day but from my house only…😝
Beverly and Ivy still have to get moved to LHL yet. Your dad said he's leaving just Dan and Ima at ISS. I think letting Jakes cows over to help keep your pastures kept would help y'all out.
Animals know if you are afraid of them or are anxious around them. That will change their behavior, so you are wise to avoid situations that make you uncomfortable and just be a small animal person. We're all different and have special gifts. We appreciate your gifts as a kind, caring, faith filled individual,LE. Blessings. ❤😊
Well, most people have a fear of something. I love horses and always have. LE is scared of them and that's his fear. My mama was absolutely terrified of cats. I never could have one but, I got married young a d always had cats. She couldn't get over it.
And I think it’s the best idea to bring Uncle Garry there I think he would be great there and he doesn’t have to worry about the competition over there so yes I agree with you all on everything stay blessed sweets xo beautiful babies too by the way xo
Le you don’t need big animals to be a real farmer. I grew up on a poultry and citrus farm. You do look and act like a farmer to me ever since you took charge of a real farm. Don’t let anyone get you down. Keep doing what you do best. I’m proud of you.
@cashk100 LE, I am proud of you also!! Listen to Cash, that's all you have to do when some naughty person wants to take a slam at you!!
You are a Great Farmer!! Thanks Cash, you couldn't of worded that any better!!! 🤗❤️👍🙋🏻♀️
Exactly ❤❤❤❤
You are doing great LE. You do not have to have large animals to be a farmer. 😊
@@vickiegundrum5509but the pastures need large animal to be maintained. Le is a good man. Step by step he will

Megan you made many good points about people comparing or expecting LE to be like his dad. A nice walk and talk LE.
I am glad you can go into the pasture with the donkeys ! L.E. I think caution is always I good idea.
💖Carole
I think you are very sensible about the possible dangers of working around large animals. ❤
OK. L.E.,
BUT your beloved football games are just as dangerous.. just go with your own and gut feelings.. it's your life.. MEGAN has a fear level then you do.. NO SHAME IN THAT..
You might find yourself interacting with all the donkeys ,and not realizing what you have done..
Are you good with the alpacas, I know okie Dokie is sweet now... but sometimes not so much Annie and ERNIE...

donkeys today!
Wow it weird not seeing the training ring and not seeing a horse, but im glad to see indy and the donkeys but they look lonely
Beverly, ivy & indi will be going to LHL too in the near future, but Dan & Ima will be staying at the sanctuary. Lester & Jami said so on their live today.
I love the idea of you guys taking Gary, maybe Ruby and Dani could also come and keep him company. They are smaller and super friendly so that would be a great way build up to being comfortable with some bigs. You and Megan are doing great at running the Sanctuary.
Lester doesnt want any heifers at ISS so as not to encourage Paws Paws bulls to break any fences ... he only wants steers to maintain the grass !!!
Hi guy's, I do hope you start to biuld the sanctuary back up. There's not a lot af animals left at ISS. Most of the rescues are now living at LHL.
It will be interesting to see how you build the sanctuary up and make it more interesting. Cats and chickens are sweet but they don't make for gripping content. Good luck with your new plans to make the sanctuary great once more. 🏴
Plus like Lester was talking about how they will handle the upkeep of the back pasture with no bigs
I’m so curious also to see the direction LE and Meg take ISS. 💕
Possibly change the name since LE will only take “small” animals. Maybe be a “small animal rescue”. I am just checking in out of curiosity because (in my opinion) the content variety is no longer at Ima Survivor. I am not interested in spending my time looking at chickens, cats and ducks.

You have to do you...and you both are doing great
The Donkeys want loving today.
Donkey Dan seems to want more loving
LE and Megan have the animals you want at IMA SURVIVOR
Good farm habits to set yourself up for success like wearing steel toe boots in back pasture will help you.
Those donkeys sure do love Megan she definitely an animal person and they know it. I love how they love her all the animals do.There is nothing wrong with being cautious of the animals, that is really smart. We love you and Megan, for who you are. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.❤❤

You both are going to make great parents. You are both pretty shy in large social situations. Night owls rule!
LE Cautious is OK. being relaxed around the animals is huge and put some boots on you’re doing a good job.
Hi LE, lovely to see that the donkeys will be there for a while. They will be an asset to the very back pastures once all the fencing is cleared of debris.
I like the idea of being able to take the little herd of goats for a forage once or twice a week when the babies are a bit older.
You or Megan or both could watch them for an hour or so whilst doing a live like a Q and A time.
Perhaps a picnic lunch with the littles.
Who knows you are the creative ones. ❤
Just could be me but when you are speaking to Megan I miss much of her input as she's not close enough to the microphone 😢
It got a little better today when you were closer to each other or she spoke louder. I am not trying to be nasty here, just letting you know in case others are having the same problem.

( No rush)😊 Please know that you and Meg are loved, respected, and cherished. Stay blessed.
You just continue to do you and ISS will continue to be in good hands!!❤❤❤
Just be you, we love you how you are.
Little Gary would appreciate a couple rescue steers.
I would love to see Lil Gary at ISS. I just worry about him so much at the J & L. At ISS someone is there more consistently. Once he is fixed he will be no threat to Moses and Billy in the other pastures. It would be wonderful if there was another rescue steer that could be his companion.
LE are doing fine and you’re starting out and you’re a good farmer and if you’re cautious that’s OK you’re not gonna get hurt as easy as somebody else would if they was not cautious you’re doing a great job. Don’t listen to people when they have negative comments.😊
Excited about all the changes! Look at more alpacas or emu to help maintain pasture.
I’m the same as Le. I’ve never really jived with horses ever! You are and have been a farmer.
Oh LE don’t let the haters get you. Your feelings are real. Just try and stop living the what if life.we can do that with everything we do. Including finding someone to love. ❤️🇨🇦🙏🇨🇦❤️
I have never been afraid of donkeys but I am horses. Every time I tried to ride one I got bucked off...l am kinda afraid of chickens and geese too...😅😅...love the stories and video.....❤😊
Don’t worry what people say,your safety is more important than,you know if you feel safe or not,good on you.
No worries LE. The bigs would scare me too.
💙 I don't like being near animals that can push me around. Meal time is a dangerous time if you feed them all together. If we take risks & we get hurt it's that persons own fault for taking the risk instead of doing something a safer way right? AMEN?!
I always thought they have the right away in a crosswalk . I know here in Indiana and Maine they do
It is the same way in Ohio, pedestrians only has the right-a-way in a crosswalk when the light is red & traffic is stopped. Every State has different laws.
Im so excited for u guys' future LE. U and Megan are doing a great job!
I love Danny Boy so much. He had the sweetest eyes and face. I just want to kiss him!
Also maybe yall want some smaller cows like a couple mini Highland cows! Im so in love with them and plan on having some on my future homestead.
You definitely need your head on a swivel around big animals. You are 💯
You are also being subjected to toxic masculinity/ and traditional male roles and expectations. It is not surprising considering a lot of your audience really.
Expansion is great if you can help more animals. 😊❤
Maybe you could try to seal off the pasture and try to get grass growing ? The donkeys are sweet. You’re ok LE. Everyone is different. You are not your Dad.
The pastures will grow once Spring growing starts.
Yeah it is winter
@@judycline4211 I’m talking about the patches and area that have no grass
Donkeys are going to LHL Lester said there only going to be two left at ISS
I love you and Meg together LE you can see the goodness you bring out within each other ❤…
Le you & Megan are absolutely amazing at what you do for iss & all the beautiful animals 💗 so what if you're unsure been around the bigs knobody should have a go everyone's unsure about things in life you are not you're dad or mum you are you & we love you for it why anyone feels the need to pull someone apart because they are a little afraid of something honestly they need to give there heads a wobble it's not fun or clever it shows them as mean & cruel I'd rather be labelled as afraid of something but certainly not the uglyness of nasty comments please take it from me you & Megan are absaloutly amazing to all the baby's & too each other also , I've not thought once omg le's taken over it's going to go to sh@* & it's far from the truth I'm super proud of you both, I've watched from Maggie run so it's been a long time I watch everyone on the hill off the hill lhl & now j&l ranch, I love it & love all youse thank you for posting you are worth you're wait I'm gold such a beautiful caring young man as well as beautiful Megan you're future is going to be amazing 😍❤💙
❤ you and Megan.
Good for you LE keep working on it
They have mini cows that you could get for the back
Bless y'all ❣
Meg is so at ease with the animals.
We love you just the way you are LE, everyone is different. I had a bad experience with a horse when I was 12 or 13 years old.
I agree 💯 with you LE, they are silly😂 Can't wait to see what the future brings. Good luck 😊❤
We are all different each person has there own ochillies heel yours horses mine spiders it doesn’t define us keep doing l e you are awesome amazing man
You were raised by 2 women, I get it.. You've got Megan for the tough stuff. Good team !!! I agree with adios to the horses, especially Rita !!
One of my dil's works, and my son has been home with their boys, it's what works for them, nothing wrong with that.
You two getting Little Gary would be so awesome! He could live there so peacefully with y’all maybe with a gal pal or a guy pal. You two would be perfect for him! Only if you’re comfortable with it though! ❤❤❤
Give Indy a treat too 😮😊!
LE I do not blame you about horses. I am scared of them, I had a bad experience once when I was about 9 yrs old. Horses are beautiful, but at a distance.
Would you ever concider rescue mini horses or mini donkeys like your pawpaw and uncle dan have some time in the future? Also that side pasture could be good for the alpacas Annie Ernie and Okie
Megan that was cute Ima was following you out to LE 😊
Hey LE, I understand what You mean by not trusting people will do the right thing. I trust no one!
I had a Nephew who got killed by just trusting people who will do the right thing. His Traffic light turned green, and he just knew the traffic would stop, but it didn't. A young girl ran her Traffic Light and killed my Nephew instantly! He was riding his motorcycle❗️
That happened 4 years ago. As always, when the traffic light turns green for me, I make sure the traffic has STOPED. Love You Two, Please Take Care! Nancy
I am so sorry for your loss, I to was a victim of a motorcycle accident 👩🦽 it was horrific.
I am also extra cautious about red lights, not because of anything that has happened to me or mine, but just because. I always joke that I stop at green lights, because my brother runs red lights. 😂 In no way is that true, but it usually gets a laugh.
Larger animals are not for everyone Elie. You and Megan are doing great❤
I love your channel L.E. and the way you reason things out. God bless you sweet young man.
LE, I have an idea on what you and Megan can do with the far back pastures now that the horses(BIGS) have been taken to LHL. You have alluded that you have a fear of horses. What about ponies? They're horses, but just smaller than larger horses and bigger than miniature horses. Your dad had alluded that if the far back pastures aren't put to use with animals, they will go back to a state of decay(neglect) with grass growing high if they're not maintained. Also, your dad said said that the goats cannot be put in those far back pastures because the fencing is not goat fencing. Plus, you and Megan will still have Donkey Dan and ImaJean as Beverly, Indie and Ivy will be moved to LHL. I'm sure your dad will be okay if you bring in new rescues such as ponies for the far back pastures that need to be worked on. So whatever approach you take on, I'm sure many of your viewers will support you. Because let's face it LE, if the Sanctuary is going to focus on smaller rescues such as cats, chickens, rabbits, roosters or other feathered livestock, that's going to be a turnoff to some. Don't get me wrong. I love cats, but I will not watch if it's going to constantly feaature these kinds of creatures. Just saying and sharing. And good luck and God bless. All the best, have a pleasant day and stay warm.
You all do you and what makes you happy. Your life and you both do a great job. Everyone has fears ❤
Le i remember seeing the video of the horses kicking his legs while you were there i think it was buckees after being startled that was a frightening moment i didnt see the one with dixie so everyone should understand your fears of big animals not all farms have cows nd horses etc but at the same time you always need to be cautious of all animals ni matter what and you and megan are still learning the ropes nd doing a brilliant job with everything you turn your hands to nd your dad nd jamie are so proud of you everyone learns something new each day no matter how long you've being doing farming or whatever job we do stay safe all of you ❤
LE maybe you could go visit Kourtney and meet her herd to help you feel better around horses. I love horses but i respect they are huge and can be deadly. There are majestic creatures.
Wow you can walk in a pasture , cool I guess ! I love horses 🐎
Awwww that makes me sad. The horses would love you. Ive been kicked and bit etc by horses but i still never shied from them. The horses can sense how someone feels about them and will act on that , the same as a dog.
Not everyone can be comfortable around horses and given what happened to Jamie you can be as concerned as you please! BTW. Go Chiefs!!
Keep going around them you will end up getting use to them
I have worked the overnight shift for over 40 years. Even raising 4 kids basically on my own. I worked when they were sleeping, I slept while they were in school, I got up when they got home, and fed and bathed them and put them to bed, then I showered and went to work. Thats what worked for me. There is nothing wrong with being the "night shift " people on the hill.
Great talking points megan
❤YAY!!! Good video!!! So happy you can go in the big pasture!!!
Need to overcome ur fears and not let those fears run ur life.
We need our own time
LE be yourself ❤... I am also a night owl too... but, as you we alway get my work done 😊
I’ve always been leery of horses too and actually feel anxious just watching videos of them🤷♀️ but I love cows and have no qualms walking with them (no bulls) but def no way in the world would I hang with longhorns… I love them and can watch all day but from my house only…😝
Glad you are back ❤
Donkey Dan is so sweet
Wow, all that empty space now. What is going to happen now? I think yall should keep little Gary (after he is denutted) there with Ima and Dan.
Your so sweet LE and Megan for taking Gary I think Gary lonely maybe the donkey will keep him company
Beverly and Ivy still have to get moved to LHL yet. Your dad said he's leaving just Dan and Ima at ISS. I think letting Jakes cows over to help keep your pastures kept would help y'all out.
And Indie is also gonna get moved over to LHL’s
@@ElfCringle yes,
Animals know if you are afraid of them or are anxious around them. That will change their behavior, so you are wise to avoid situations that make you uncomfortable and just be a small animal person. We're all different and have special gifts. We appreciate your gifts as a kind, caring, faith filled individual,LE. Blessings. ❤😊
Well, most people have a fear of something. I love horses and always have. LE is scared of them and that's his fear. My mama was absolutely terrified of cats. I never could have one but, I got married young a d always had cats. She couldn't get over it.
And I think it’s the best idea to bring Uncle Garry there I think he would be great there and he doesn’t have to worry about the competition over there so yes I agree with you all on everything stay blessed sweets xo beautiful babies too by the way xo
I understand your fear...allow yourself to get to know their personalities...but have a healthy respect for all of them
