Animal Anarchy

It’s really been a tumultuous few months with the animals. Battles being waged, injuries sustained and sometimes worse.
You know already of the war between the dogs and cats which to my utter dismay the dogs are winning so I won’t go into detail on that. I fear this is an ongoing battle.
We also [...]

A girl and her horse

Posted on November 9, 2008 - Filed Under animals, cats, donkey, goats, horse | Leave a Comment

Ta-da!  Today for the first time, I sat on Beautiful.  I can’t really say I rode her; it was more like a pony ride.  We did put the bridle on and she took it fine.  Although, I would really like to introduce her to a bitless bridle.  Baby steps…must stay focused.  I got up on [...]

Oh my gosh…did you see the full moon the other night?  I don’t know how it looked from your part of the world, but it was big and bright and amazing here.  Not only at night, but in the morning too.  It took up the whole sky.  Our new kitten was definitely digging it.  We [...]

Warning bad dog

Last night, we were awakened by the sounds of dogs barking.  Not unusual having two of our own who take their barking duties very seriously.  However, there were other dogs answering back.  And there was some sort of wailing, that I assumed was a dog, but I couldn’t recognize as it started and stopped rather [...]

Say hello to the newest member of our brood, Frankie the kitty. She showed up at an office in Moultrie where John was doing some work. Apparently she spent the day sleeping on his laptop. Of course, she had to come home with us. Jett was thrilled to get his [...]
