MOWING THE DRIVEWAY

The goats don't graze well and like to browse our woods instead, so I opened up a side gate and let the main flock out onto the driveway area to graze it down yesterday.

PUPPY TEETH

Tally is teething so everything is fair game for a good chewing.  She has learned quickly that people, shoes, cats, and our elderly dog aren't, so she improvises around the front yard.

PUPPY LOVE!

 Meet Tally the newest member of our farm family.  She is eight weeks old and about 4 pounds of tri-color Corgi antics.   We had no idea when we pick her out of a litter of nine at four weeks of age just how special she would end up being.  She makes up her own games given just a paper towel tube or binder twine tied to a fence, goes wild at night just before bedtime and has a bladder the size of a small walnut which produes copious amounts of pee on very little water?   Our two 12 pound housecats avoid her like the plague and Pappy(our faithful 14 year old farm dog)keeps his distance and just wags his tail whenever she is out in the yard. 

This is the look we get whenever she wants to insure we will keep her forever.  And we will.
