Farm Stuff

It's been rainin' a lot at our house lately

I've been spendin' a lot of time like this. 

My momma says I'm slackin' off. 

Now where ARE those chickens? 

Hmmmm. Somethin' down here tastes GOOD! 

I took my babies for their walkies several times, until it got so wet momma didn't want us out in it. 

Aren't they gettin' big? 

I'm just a hard-workin' farm dog! 

Momma's cuttin' our wet pasture tomorrow, and I'll take the babies for their walk again, and we'll take pictures. We're gettin' ANOTHER little baby next week, and then my herd will be complete! 

More Snow!

I stayed in almost all day today because it SNOWED again! 

We played with my stuffies for a while. 

I took a good nap on my pillow. 

Finally, Lilly and I went out into the wet pasture to do our business.  Man, it was cold and the snow was coming down, though you can't tell it. 

Then I went with momma to the henspa, and chased some chickens up on the roost, because it was time for them to go to bed!

Now I'm in the house with momma while the snow is still coming down, and I'm ready to watch some TV and be warm! 

A Long Week

My Momma did not realize we had not posted since Monday! 

This was me on Tuesday, it was snowing here at our farm, and my momma told me to stay in bed and stay warm, so I am on my pillow on the couch. 

By Wednesday, I was rarin' to go again, and playin' with my stuffies. 

And today, even though it rained all day... I helped momma with our chores, and kept an eye on the baby chicks for her! 

I'm Back!

Someday, dogs will have opposeable thumbs, I know it. 

I've been helpin' my momma a lot. 

I keep an eye on the ducks for her, even though they quack a lot at me. 

Momma, they won't hurt me, will they? 

Here I am, bringing the truck in with my daddy! 

And here I am tonight, havin' a drink with my big brother Ranger! 

He has trouble gettin' up and down, and momma brings his water to him sometimes. 

My Friday

 I am very happy today, because 

little Gus, our new furriend and the little brother for 

Stella Rose and the Magster, is better! 

I know his sisters were scared to death, and his momma was so worried... so YAYYY for little Gus! 

And we are sending prayers too for Dutch, who is Pug's big brother, since he got so sick this week, too. 

We don't want anyone to be sick. 

I was keeping these girls in line while momma was gettin' their waterer filled. 

They didn't dare to come past me! 

Then I got a little drink before momma took it back in! 

Workin' in the Henyards

Today, we filled the duck's pond again.  Momma is only filling it every three days, instead of every day, since they have a smaller bowl to drink out of that momma keeps clean for them. 

The chickens drink out of this pond, too. 

There they are.  They still won't let me get near them. 

They get that water really dirty! 

I was watching carefully from the steps.  Momma gets scared when I go up on the deck, because there is no railing, and she is afraid for me to fall. 

Daddy is going to put a railing here. 

I thought I'd go in through the pophole and see what the guys inside were doing.  Momma has the door propped open because it got so hot this afternoon. 

Then I played in the water for a while, but momma realized I was really, really hot, and she took me in the house where it was a lot cooler. I was glad! 

We gots a new little peeps here! 

Winter is Back

My momma and I are mad. 

Now someone called "The Weatherman" is telling us that we are gonna have more winter tomorrow and Sunday. 

I can't go down in the pasture, my momma says the wolves are going to be very hungry again. 

This is a wolf. 

(coyote) (in our pasture) (eating leftovers) (long story) 

My momma says they would eat me, so I'm gonna behave and not go in the pasture right now. 

We did chores this afternoon, but it wasn't too cold out yet. 

Here I was, a half hour ago... I was chasing mice in the old henhouse, but I heard my sister Lilly barking outside, and knew she needed help. 

Momma thought it was a wolf at the bottom of the pasture, so she wouldn't let Lilly go in there either. 

Here I am in the new henhouse... I'm givin' the stink eye to the little rooster... he was doing something to a hen just then, and momma told me to make him stop.  I did. 

Then we came back in and I waited for momma to make our dinner. 

Won't you all say a prayer tonight for our furriend Stella Rose, and for her momma and daddy, for Maggie Moo and for Mean Ole' Cat Dietzman, because Stella is still sick, and they are very worried about her. 

Get well, my sister! 

I Finally Got my Blog!

Abby Lynn here. 

I help my mama with her chickens on our little farm.  My mama told me a long time ago that my little sister Gertie and I were going to have our own blog, but then Gertie went to the Rainbow Bridge. 

Now mama says it's time for me to have my own blog, and tell you about everything going on with me here on the farm. 

It isn't really a farm, you know, my mama just calls it that.  

I'm so short that it SEEMS like a farm to me, and I smell all kinds of strange things... so I know some wild things have come around at night while I'm sleeping safe with mama and daddy. 

Here I am sharing a drink with my big brother, Ranger.  He has trouble standing up sometimes, so he cries to let mama know he's thirsty, then he and I get to have a drink together. 

Here's my big sister, Lilly, laying in MY bed by mama's desk.  

If she wants to lay there, she can, because she's the Protector of All of Us here at the farm. 

I don't mess with her. 

And these guys don't mess with ME! 

Pug on Duty!
