Pickin’ And A-grinnin’
Posted on November 15, 2009 - Filed Under dog, goats, pecans | 1 Comment
Our yard is once again carpeted in pecans thanks to the blustery winds of non-hurricane Ida. Dogs, goats and chickens are eating them faster than I can pick. But luckily, there seems to be plenty to go around.
I have a new-fangled contraption to help pick this year and it is Awe. Some. [...]
Friday the 13th Part 2

Thankfully, no Jason or whoever involved.
I don’t consider myself a superstitious person, yet apparently, I am. I don’t walk under ladders. I prefer black cats don’t cross my path. I always throw a pinch of salt over my shoulder when spilled. And though Friday the 13 really isn’t that big a [...]

Now I know, I know, it’s cold everywhere, even in the frigid south, but hey, it’s my blog, get you’re own!
These are the times when being 40 minutes north of the Florida line and 7 hours above south Florida really count. It’s freakin’ freezing (literally, below) here! Which is bizarre considering last week, we had [...]
Junior licked a toad

Need I say more? Well, in case this should happen to your pup, I will share the experience.
8am – John feeds the dogs and lets them out of the kennel to run. I go to run errands. All’s well.
10am – I come home to find 2 dogs joyfully barking and running to [...]
Animal Anarchy
Posted on December 13, 2008 - Filed Under animals, cats, dog, donkey, goats, horse | Leave a Comment
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 [...]
Bad dogs…kettle, black

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.
Horrified and mortified doesn’t even begin to express how we feel. We’ve always been cat people. In my life, I’ve [...]
All I ever wanted was a place in the country

Not really, but I love(d) AdamAnt.
Being a Florida girl at heart, I actually always imagined living on a tropical island so imagine my surprise to find myself here, on a “farmlet” in the country. As you can imagine, but just like anywhere else you choose to live in the world, there are pros…and cons.
TRAFFIC [...]
Froggy went a huntin’

Well, actually, Froggy didn’t do the “hunting”, we did.
Jett is fascinated with toads. Every night he clambers under our porch steps and the basketball hoop stand looking for toads, big and small. Then he puts them in a little cage and just stares at them until bedtime. Then he lets them go and the whole [...]
Dog Days

Daisy the bulldog is in heat. She’s has an appointment to be spayed next Tuesday. Buster is not neutered. Can you guess my problem here? Luckily, they live in separate kennels, but they spend most of their free time together. Well, they did until we caught on. Now it’s [...]

We started the new year with a new addition to our brood: Sonic the donkey. Almost a horse; part horse. I am getting closer to my goal. Sonic has been our neighbor for the past 6 months. Our neighbor got a jenny (aptly named Jenny) to watch over his cow herd. [...]
