The kittens are really coming into their own…developing personalities and delighting us with their antics.  Today I decided to talk to them and see what they had to say about whom they are, why they are here and anything else they wanted to share.  With kittens or other young animals you never know just what you might hear.  Sometimes they are having so much fun in their new bodies it is difficult to keep their attention long enough to have a discussion.  Other times, you have a young animal … [Read more...]

Do you ever have those times when you have items on your agenda for the day but you are tired and just not up to the task?  Sometimes we have no choice but more often we really do have choices.  Sometimes we trudge through our work because we “should”.

This morning as Becky went out to do chores she noticed a fox trotting down the horse’s lane to their paddock.  This is the third time fox has been right out in the open for us to see.  The first time was about 3-4 weeks ago when he was on the driveway and as we drove down the road he crossed our path again.  Well that makes three times so I knew it was time to have a chat with fox and see what he wanted us to know.

We have kittens, five little kittens that are about 3 weeks old.  When you live on a farm and have outdoor cats, you naturally end up with more cats who find their way to your place…which is what happened to us.

We suspected right away … [Read more...]

First, a disclaimer.  Some might find this disturbing.  I hope you can get past that and hear what the message is.  Yesterday at about 5 am I got up with the dogs to let them out as I usually do each morning.  King just can’t seem to wait much longer so I accommodate his little bladder even though it is long before I want to get up.    Shortly after they went into the yard I noticed Hannah had picked something up in her mouth.  I shouted, “Hannah, drop it” and she did.  Red, the cat has left … [Read more...]
