Hello Farm Friends! Who is a better farm mouser, a dog or a cat?

Around here it’s the dogs. They catch more rats and mice than the cats ever thought of. The cats are afraid of a rat, scream and run when they see one.

Ms. Tammy, our Silver Labrador dog, is the best at catching rats and mice. She has a nose on her and can smell them. She can find them around the feed barns and in the middle of a pasture.

November is going to make sure we feel all thirty days. What other month starts on day 1 by moving the clocks back one hour.

UPDATE; OWNER FOUND. Thank you!

Hello Farm Friends! Anyone around county road 254 missing a hunting dog?

Two nights ago, around dusk, there was a coyote howling off in the distance. Several of the farm dogs took off after it barking like banshees. In a couple of hours everyone was back home except Mr. Norman. He was awol. He was gone all night long.

The next day (yesterday) he finally came home and brought a friend. He brought home a male Walker Coonhound with him.

The new dog stayed with us as we traveled around the farm feeding. I wondered if he would go home on his own. He didn’t. He was still here at feeding time, so we set another plate and he ate supper here.

This morning he was still here. He was curled up sleeping om the front porch with a couple farm dogs. Apparently, he is lost or has found a few new friends to hang around with.

I decided to pen him up this morning and see if we can find his owner. I was afraid if he decided to leave a few of our farm dogs might follow him off and then they would be lost.

If someone knows who he belongs to please have them contact us.

Hello Farm Friends! Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to sleep like a dog? They get a lot of sleep and can go to sleep anywhere and at any time.

Our farm dogs sleep during the night and also during the day. They take multiple short naps throughout the day. If I am idle for a few minutes on the farm, doing something like stopping to work on a fence, several of the dogs will stop and take a quick nap.

Experts say an average dog's day is typically split into 50% sleeping, 30% relaxing or lounging around, and 20% active movement. Not our farm dogs. I would say they sleep 75% of the time and wide open as a pump handle the other 25%.

The one who tires out the easiest is big Cash, the Mastiff. After 15-20 minutes swimming in the lake fetching sticks, he has to stop and take a nap. When we start feeding, we have about 25 stops. Big Cash will make it about halfway before he has to stop and take a nap. Then on the way back he gets up and hangs with us until we get to the house. Then he has to have another nap. It’s funny watching him plop down and go out like a light.

By the way he snores, there is no doubt he is fast asleep. One time he fell asleep at the feed barn. We left him lying there and went and got everything fed. When we got back to put up the feed buckets, he got up and was ready to go feed. He was stunned that he slept through it and wanted to go feed. He trotted down the road until he realized we were headed in the other direction.

Dogs are like batteries. Once they run down, they need a nap to recharge. Then its katy bar the door and they are wide open.

Remember, to quit stressing over insignificant things. You don’t have to fix everything. You don’t have to solve everything. Just enjoy the peace and tranquility of your life and enjoy it one moment, one memory at a time.

Hello Farm Friends! The adventures never end around here. Nope.

I had just fed the donkeys some feed. I looked over to the left and big Rump pig was standing there in his pen squealing. Loudly.

After I poured the feed in, I turned around and grabbed a big pumpkin to put in the donkey trough. I heard a loud bang and looked up. Big Rump pig had blown through the walk-through gate and was in a dead run headed to the donkey feeder. He was kicking up gravel he moved so fast. He was squealing wee, wee, wee, wee, headed to the feeder. He skidded to a stop, looked up and smiled at me, then jumped into the donkey feeder and started to eat their feed. The poor old donkeys scattered like a covey of quail.

It only took an hour chasing him around and around trying to get him back in his pen. He was kicking up his heels, running away from me. He thinks we were playing a game of catch me if you can. If I could catch him, I would show him how to sure enough play a game of pin the tail on a pig.

I finally got him back in his pen and put a panel over the gate where he tore one off. Without goat panels, binder twine, duct tape, zip ties, and prayers, I’d never make it a day on the farm. And yes, I’ve duct taped fences together when I had to. It’s listed in their advertisement under multiple uses number 101, fixes farm fences.

Remember to practice “Letting” in life. Letting people be. Letting them talk too much, Letting them mispronounce a word, Letting them believe in what they want to believe in, Letting them get excited about something you don’t understand. You don’t have to get it, but just be “kind” to them.

Hello Farm Friends! Recently we have been getting in a few pumpkins. We love receiving pumpkins because almost all of our animals eat pumpkins. You get a pumpkin, and you get a pumpkin….

This helps us supplement our food costs and the animals love them. It’s a win-win, for us and the animals!

For some animals we chop them up. For some we grate them up. For others we give them the whole pumpkin.

Fall has arrived and you can feel it in the air. Cooler days and colder nights. Less humidity. Six o’clock sunsets. Sleeping with a warm blanket. Outdoor bonfires. Roasted marshmallows. Enjoy the joy in the little things in life.

Hello Farm Friends! Some days are harder than others. Just shake your head days.

I had to cut up a tree that had fallen in the woods after the last storm. I decided to leave a couple of dogs in the house when I left to do this. I did it for their safety. These two are the type of dogs that will try to stay close to you, and I didn’t want them around falling limbs or the chainsaw.

So I decided to leave them inside the house. I gave them a couple of new toys to play with while I was gone. This would keep them occupied for a little while.

After a couple hours of cutting, I returned to the house to get a cold drink and let these two dogs out. This is what it looked like when I opened the door and walked in.They must have had a field day. They had torn the two new toys to smithereens. No question that they had fun. Fuzee’s everywhere and the floor rug was wadded up like a hurricane had come through the room during my absence. The look they gave me was priceless when I asked, “What did you do to the new toys?”

They hung their heads down listening to me but secretly they were smiling because they had fun ripping them apart. I grabbed a trash bag and picked up all the fuzees. I couldn’t find one of the squeakers that was inside the toys. I was afraid to pick up Scooter dog, I figured he must have eaten it. I didn’t want him to squeak if I picked him up and have all the dogs chase him around for the squeaker.

In the mess I found a chewed up appliance cord that belonged to something. I checked the vacuum, the tv, etc., and couldn’t find anything missing a plug in cord. Something tells me I will figure out the mystery this weekend.

Remember, if you have the power to make someone happy, do it.

Hello Farm Friends! We were taking one of our daily walks with the dogs. Many went racing ahead, a few followed close by, and there were a few stragglers walking behind us.

I looked up and saw something pop up from the grass ahead of big Cash dog. It looked like a snake. I immediately screamed for big Cash dog to stop and come back to me. I was trying to find a long limb to either disperse it or get it to move along on its merry way. I sure enough didn’t want one of the dogs to get bit by a poisonous snake. Since we were by the lake I thought it might be a water moccasin.

Big Cash just stopped and stood there looking dumbfounded. He looked at me like I had gone plum loco hollering at him. I finally snatched up a stick and raced up to him with my stick raised in disperse mode.

Instead of a snake it was just an old stick that had raised up when a few dogs raced ahead and stepped on it. I was really happy it was not a poisonous snake but only a stick. I picked it up and threw it into the woods.

On the farm way out in the country, you always have to be on your toes. There are lots of things around here that can hurt you if you are not aware of your surroundings.

Ever wonder when “you” had a bad day, if it was the other way around? Maybe the day had a bad “you.”

Hello Farm Friends! Have you met Captain Ahab the duck? He is the Rouen duck with the green head in the picture. He resembles a mallard duck and lives on our farm lake.

The Rouen duck was originally bred from the Mallard duck. They are heavier than a mallard and cannot fly. Nope, not a bit. Why you ask? Because he is too heavy to fly. They can flap their wings and run across the water but can’t get airborne. He is the captain of the farm lake and is surrounded by Muscovy females.

The other ducks in the picture are all Muscovy ducks. They are a separate duck breed native to South America. Muscovy ducks are the only domestic duck breed not derived from the Mallard duck.

Ducks are natural insectivores. They hunt and eat large amounts of insects, including ticks, mosquitoes, slugs, snails, grubs, and even potato bugs. They all enjoy living on the farm lake and are joyful and amusing to sit watch.

Remember, how we spend our days is how we spend our lives.

Hello Farm Friends! A name says it all.
Did you know we have a Doberman? Yup, we do. It’s not a dog but one of our Sulcata Tortoises. We named him “Doberman.” Why in the wide world of animals did we name a tortoise “Doberman” you ask. Well It’s because he always has a look on his face like he is a guard tortoise. That, and it just brings a smile to our face having a tortoise named Doberman. Nothing like telling someone “Doberman” is out of his pen and watching them get ready to scatter. Just the name “Doberman” can cause the hair on the back of your neck to stand up.

Oh, did you know that we also have a “Clydesdale”? I’ll let you guess what animal we named Clydesdale, and it’s not a horse or donkey.

We also have an animal named “Copperhead”. Yup, we do.

It’s just a word, a name. However, a word's impact depends heavily on who says it, the tone used, and how it’s said. As an example, just a whisper of a specific name can trigger an immediate physiological fight-or-flight response.

The look on some people’s faces when I tell them there is a copperhead down by the hay barn and I’m going down to feed it. It’s priceless. It really is.

Remember, don’t rush something you want to last forever.

Hello Farm Friends! Don’t you just love Saturdays? We sure do.

On Saturdays we load go and make our weekly supply runs. First we draw straws to see who gets to go to town with us. This week it was Ms. Treasure dog, Scooter dog, and Ms. Star dog.

We swing by the post office, the hardware store, and our favorite, the feed store. We just love going to the feed store and stocking up for the week. We go to several but our favorite is Garrisons Farm & Home.

This week while I was inside Scooter dog dug the truck manual out of the back of the glovebox and tore it to smithereens. I guess he wanted to study up on how to change the wiper blades and couldn’t find the right page, so he just chewed until he found the right page.

It’s the simple pleasures in life that keep us happy.
