Dog/Animal Treats

Got the dog's favorite cookies made. I used organic whole wheat flour, pureed green beans, pumpkin, oats, farm fresh eggs, coconut oil, and peanut butter. My potbellied pigs also enjoy these cookies. Going to test them out on the horses today:). 

Farm Life

Farm life is NEVER boring... From broken water mains, to harrowing pastures, to vaccuming stalls, to messing with chicken vents..... Never a dull moment:).

Awesome Roo

I have the most awesome roo in the world. He is so gentle with the ladies and always goes and picks mill worms for them, dropping them at their feet before ever helping himself.

Chickadee is Coming Home

We thought our chicken had a prolapsed vent. Thankfully, took her to a wonderful vet who said she had an abcess. He popped the pouch, emptied it, gave her a "stay suture", steroid shot, and an antibiotic. He was the ONLY vet I called that would see a damn chicken. Other vets who said they see birds, REFUSE to see chickens which is annoying as hell. So, they only want to see birds that do nothing but sit in a cage and look pretty as opposed to a bird that actually has a job? I called 5 vets who supposedly see birds, and NONE would see her:(. So, we drove 2 hours to see one who would. 

Poor Coon

I felt bad, and let the bastard go, but now wish I would have shot him. Next time..........

Shart

"Shart"... Well, I can say it's something you never want to experience away from home. If this is what getting older looks like, you can keep it:). What happened to aging gracefully????

"Fox in the Hen House"

We had a red fox chasing our guineas and chickens yesterday in the middle of the day. Then, we had a fox/potbelly pig "stare-down." The fox came up to our dog gate and stood nose to nose staring at our potbelly pig, Amelia. Scary.... Put out a live trap hoping the trap the bastard. He'll keep coming back for sure. I am afraid for my ducks. Gotta get this obviously brave sob.

Old Friends

Had a super visit with one of my oldest friends this weekend. We haven't seen one another in over 15 years (living on opposite coasts, etc...). We laughed and talked like no time had gone by at all. It's wonderful to have "true" forever friends.
