Several months back, I wrote about a pack of stray dogs that killed our cat Pearl. Well, we’ve lost another cat, Tom, to another pack of dogs…only this time it was our own.

This is the first summer that I haven’t been working and Jett has not been in school or daycare. I was a little worried that Jett and I would drive each other crazy so I’ve been trying to keep our summer days busy.

This is my attempt to document my life on 7 acres in southwest georgia with my husband, 5-year-old son, 7 cats, 8 goats, 14 chickens (unless the rooster croaks after its run-in with Buster the dog yesterday) and, yes, 1 dog. Petunia, the pig in the header used to live with us, but she [...]
