We also used to have 2 regular size riding horses. However due to hubbys trainning schedule, it was not fair to them to be pasture ordaments. So we had to rehome them to great homes. Hubby would say no more animals. The we would get a call about an animal who would need our help. We got a call...

We live on 9 acres, they are good hunters for our deer mice. For the most part they live in our goat barn. If you think that is nuts- you should hear about the rest of our ZOO

I said that lots of time to friends. I say it more so when Daddy is away. Our son has separation issues." Daddy's boy"

I have 7 cats. I do  have pictures on my other lap top. Most of my cats are rescues. They are all "fixed" and have their shots. Anyone want to pay our vet bill or monthly feed bill? Lucky- (Indoor/ outside cat)- excellent hunter but won't eat her kill Dutchess (indoor)- she is the queen around...

To  the girl friend, My hubby is in the forces, so I stay here and look after all the critters. I have a funny feeling with this upcoming tour- I will be looking after a few more. I  hate to see what happens if we ever get posted. We will need to rent a huge cattle hauler to transport our...

To be Honest, If Hubby were to call it quits, money wouldn't help. It would build me a new Barn, however if he is not here to build it, then what good is the money for? It is hard enough when he is gone however long.... MOney can never replace the time he has spent away from his kids and...

Thanks CDN, I understand it is a lose- lose situation. I also understand without the resources it is hard to manage. But it is frustrating to see so many people who have great experience and leadership throwing in the towel. This doesn't help matters, it makes it worse. I am not sure there is a...

If there are not enough able bodies to run some of the courses, then how about cancelling some or running them at a different time. I am not talking about recruitment training but some sniper courses ect.. I don't know if this is possible as I am not well educated in military aspects.  So I will...

I think that the we need to look at the " Retention aspect" We are loosing valuable members everyday due to circumstances the forces can control. For example: Getting a 6 week Tasking then home for 48 hours then getting tasked out again for another 8 weeks because we are short of bodies...

Most of my dogs are working dogs. My 2 Great Pyr" gentle giants" are under a year old. Gunner our male pyreneese is about 100 pounds and he has to put on at least another pounds. When he is fully grown he will stand over 6 feet on his hind legs. Even though he is huge. He is the sweetest dog...

I have 4 dogs. 2 Great Pyreneese- in a couple of months- they will be my coyote hunters 1 German Shepard/cross 1 Keeshond That is just the start of my critter clan

Waiting for our next foal to be born

The reason it is not because it is hard work. Take a look at cattle prices. The price per pound drops but yet the price in the store sky rockets. The middle man makes the buck. It is very expensive to farm. With rising costs and no return. Most farmers I  know, have to work a job in order to...

I wish my food bill was that low. Wait it is that low, when hubby is not around. Actually my food bill is cheaper then our animal food bill a month. That is another story and another topic.
