A hug makes it better!

Sometimes having a pet turkey to hog makes everything better!

Farm Friends

Did you ever think a pig and horse could be friends?  Most animals on the farm are very curious about each other, enjoy each others company and will sometimes take a walk across a field just to say hi.  Does that surprise you?   In this picture, Buttercup, our baby Haflinger, is saying hi to Max, our Mulefoot Hog.  They are both really friends animals.

Love of animals- This is how it started

I have always loved animals and laugh at some of the early pictures of me.  Here I am with my first dog, Muffy, a minature poodle.  Muffy put up with alot. 

 That brings us to today.  I had to pick up dog food and a walking harness for our newly adopted dog, Dicky.  I can't resist browsing at all the birds and animals at the pet store.  I think I could spend hours looking at the hamsters running on their wheels, rats, fish... Check out this Parakeet.  I've never seen one that was robin egg blue.  Such pretty birds. 

Saturday mornings on the farm

It's 930am and finally, I am sitting to eat breakfast.  Many things happen on our farm by 930am.  Here is some of what I happend this morning:

Happy dogs!

A ground hog visitor!

Visitors to the farm meeting 5 month old Buttercup!

Traveler meeting new friends!

And lastly, a check on Blanca the turkey who must have been cold last night as so many feathers are just starting to grow!  Can you see all the short spikes coming out of her pink skin?  All in neat rows.  They are new feathers starting to grow.  A chicken, turkey or duck loses feathers in the fall and then a new set of feathers grows back.  This is molting and we talked about it earlier this week.

Have a great weekend and we'll see you next week!

Dogs

It's good to be loved!  Gandolf is a very big puppy with a heart of gold!
