The Bar-S Ranch Resorts has five dogs. They are: front, chocolate lab: Hershey, 3yrs old; back left, black/white basenji: Coop 2yrs old; middle, buff cocker spaniel: Sally 1yr old; middle right, blonde Lhasa/yorkie: Phoenix, 12 yrs old; and back right, dark gray Heinz 57: Pepper, the Queen of Shebut, 15 yrs old.
Our ducks, Zoe, Franny, & Lucy (L to R) , live on the Bar-S Ranch Lake. In addition to what they eat out of the lake, they expect to be fed daily by the humans. They will come looking for the daily feeding if they have not received it in a timely manner.
The Bar-S Ranch chickens rule the roost. We have four hens, and a rooster. The two by the fence just joined us recently. The red one by the fence is Penny, and the black & white is Domino. The brown hen is Loiuse, and the other red one is Tee II. The rooster, Rooney, is strutting around on the log.
Max and Sunni, the Bar-S Ranch guard cats guarding their domain, the garage. Max and Sunni were adopted into the Bar-S Ranch family specifically to keep the garage free of pesky pests. And they do a wonderful job.
This is Hershey, a chocolate Lab. We believe he is an English Lab. Hershey also has an adoption story (see Coop's story, below). Hershey showed up on the doorstep of a friend who lives in town. They tried to find Hershey's owners, but with no luck. Our friend has a small yard and two other dogs. They wanted to find a home where Hershey would have lots of room to run and play. We had plenty of room, and Coop needed a playmate and friend. So...Hershey is now part of the Bar-S Ranch family. He is well loved by Ranch residents and guests alike.

An addition in July '09 to the Bar-S Ranch family is a dog named Coop. There is a story behind her name. One day, we were feeding the chickens in the chicken coop and were very surprised to find a stray dog in the hen house. Now this dog was extremely thin and very, very shy. She had been in the chicken coop all night and part of the next day, and was so hungry she was eating chicken feed. We named her Coop. We started leaving food and water out for her. In about three weeks, she started letting us get closer to her and began taking food out of our hand. After about 6 weeks she was following us all over the Ranch. Today she is lively, but very loving. We are so glad she found us and can't imagine our Bar-S Ranch family without her.
This is Coop about a week after she found us.
This is Coop today as she concentrates on whatever has caught her attention.
