Overheard on the farm today...

"Hey Tom"


"Hey Tom! Hows it hangin?
"Do you smell that?"
"It smells like them people are cooking up a big ol meal today."
"I sure wish they would have been thoughtful enough to invite us."

"Tom! It's not just a meal!
This is a holiday that people celebrate and get together to give thanks for everything in their lives that bring them joy."
"You know... Things like family, friends, good-health and all that jazz."
"The people make lots of food,
Things like Mashed potatoes, Green bean casserole, stuffing, pie"
"I've been told that they always have a turkey as the guest of honor."

"What?!? They have a turkey as guest of honor, but they didn't invite us??"
"We've been on this farm for years!"
"I'm Hurt.. Betrayed... And down-right offended!"

..."wait a  minute...
Where is Tom?"

"T-O-M!  where are you?"

"Hey Toms, You arent gonna believe what I just heard!"
"You know the evil gray barn cat named Ash?"
"Well, he told me that the people ATE Tom!!"


"What?? They ATE him?"
"On a Holiday?"
"Those people!"
"I knew we couldn't trust em!"
"Run  for the hills!!!"

"Heh heh heh... stupid birds!"

Don't Ask Me How I Know This...

But, if your barn cat has a littler of kittens on your porch,
And they are all girls except for one adorable male,
And you don't want any more girl cats around because you don't want more kittens around,
You fall in love with and decide to keep the lone cuddly, loving, sweet boy kitten,

It will be the first animal on your farm that you run over with your own truck.

Call the S.P.C.A. Cause I am THAT bad of a dog owner.

This is Guss.
The Pug puppy with an un-healthy obsession with dirty panties.
The Pug puppy who refuses to grasp the concept of going potty outside.
The Pug puppy who has learned to dig under the fence and head for the hills and run from us for an hour while we try to coax him back into his yard.
The super-cuddly, super-loving, super-ditsy Pug puppy.
Isn't he cute?

One of his amusing traits is his constant look of worry.
The poor thing looks like he needs a good dose of anti-anxiety medication!
I always wondered why he seems so full of worry.

Today I understand why.

In an attempt to keep him in his yard I bought him a shock collar.
Yes, I know it seems mean..... But not nearly as mean as letting him run away and get hit by a car!
I bought the shock collar that also has a vibrate function in the remote control, so I don't have to shock him every time me tries to dig under the fence, I can just buzz him.

The collar was working great!
I only had to shock him 2 times before he learned that digging = unpleasant feeling.
And the shock wasn't really painful for him... he didn't yipe, he just jumped and stopped digging. perfect!
I was pleased.

Tonight, Guss was in his crate sleeping for the night like a good little Pug.
I was watching the Pilot for the new TV show Glee... (it's WONDERFUL by the way!)
I got a little too "into" one of the wonderful '80's songs the kids on the show were singing and kinda busted-a-move in my chair.

Well... when I did, I kinda sorta shifted and sat on the shock collar's remote control.
A few second later, one of the boys came running out of the room where Guss was in his crate yelling...
"Mom!! Somethings wrong with Guss!!! He's trying to get out of his crate!!"

...Um... Yeah... I was shocking the poor sleeping, minding his own business, puppy!!

Thank goodness I bought the really really weak collar!!
He's sleeping in my bed tonight.

It's the least I can do.....
.... Before I go to hell.

Introducing..... JERKY!

Today is an exciting day!

I have spent the past three days obsessively checking one of my cows butts.
I know, I know, that sounded weird.

But, you see, The smarter than your average cow, Hershey, managed to escape her pasture on Halloween last year and decided to "frolic" with our neighbors Bull.

Um, yeah.... I swear I didn't raise her that way!
So, in classic After-School Special style, she found herself young, unwed and pregnant.

It took some time, and it took a lot of love, but we came to embrace the life growing inside of her.
We HAD to be there for her!
I mean... That Dead-Beat Bovine next door never even gave her another look!

After months and months of waiting.....

Let me introduce...

"Jerky"


Ain't he cute?

Here is the proud Momma with her new
"bundle of bull"


Hershey is being a very good Momma.

And we happen to think he is adorable!

Well... everyone thinks he's adorable except his Aunt Paris...


I think we may have made a bad decision letting her witness her sister giving birth...

She has been hiding in the bushes for three hours!
Oh well....
Maybe she'll remember that when she gets in the mood to "frolic".

He may always look incredibaly worried...

He may have an unhealthy obsession with dirty underwear...

He may refuse to be house-trained, even though he's 6 months old...


But Guss sure is cute!

Gone to the dogs...


Thats whats happened 'round our farm this week.

They are slowly taking over!
There is Guss The Pug Puppy.
Who, while he is the cutest thing on Earth, serves no real purpose on the farm.
He's here for pure entertainment.

Otis the Boston Terrier.
He has taken it upon himself to rid our farm of flies.
I swear he looks possessed when he see's a fly!
He freezes and waits for it to land...
Then POUNCE!!

Oh yeah.... He'll retrieve anything you decide to throw with EXTREME excitement!

Otis is the dog that proved me wrong when I said I didn't like little dogs.
Now I love em!

Two weeks ago, Sampson joined the flock.

Literally! He's a Great Pyrenees and will live in the hen house/yard with the poultry.
Yep! This soon to be HUGE, polar bear like, white dog will grow up thinking he is a bird.
Great Pyrenees are wonderful Livestock guardians.
Protecting the poultry is his job.

This is Cecile.
Cecile is one of our Great Danes, she was born right here on the farm.

Cecile has had a problem.
Cecile doesn't like being alone.
With Sampson the Chicken-Dog living in the hen house.
And Guss and Otis warming feet in our beds.
When Arlo, our other Great Dane died last month, Cecile became depressed.
Cecile became VERY depressed.
She would not eat.
She would not play.
She was mourning.

Nothing we tried could lift her up out of her dark place.
She went from a sweet happy-go-lucky dog to a withering bag of bones.
It was heartbreaking to see.

*Sigh* This is Anna.
Anna came to our house yesterday.
She is half Australian Shepard & half Lab.

Even at her tender 8 week old age, Anna has a job!
Anna is an anti-depressant.
Anna lives with Cecile now.

Cecile ate her first full meal right after Anna moved in!
And our sweet bouncy Great Dane is Back!
Thanks Anna!

Have you ever tried to take a picture of a bouncing 120lb Great Dane?

If not.. prepare for spazzed-out, fuzzy, blobs.
Will try to get some of the Happy Girl pictures today.

Move over John & Kate plus 8...


What would you think if you got a phone call from the US Government at 5:03am on a Wednesday Morning?
Lots of things ran through my head...

Did I mess up our taxes??
Do I have a traffic ticket I forgot about??
Is someone I know in jail??
Did someone report me for ripping that tag off my mattress??
I was at a loss...


Luckily, it was just the Postmaster from the Post Office, telling me I had a package... .
A very noisy package.
Would I please come get it?...
Right NOW?!
Otis the Boston Terrier was intrigued.
He was suspicious of the noisy box.
He inspected it the second we brought it into the house.

It was the chicks and ducks!
The cute day-old baby chicks and ducklings are here!
Yippee!!

Is there anything cuter than the first baby chicks and ducklings of the season?
I think not!


Guss the Pug puppy has never seen day-old chicks and ducklings..
He thought they looked tasty.
hmmm we'll have to work on that.

More pics soon and I'll introduce you to the three other new critters that have joined out crew this week too!

Yep... that's 63 new additions to our family this week alone!

Busy & interesting times folks....
