When I was a young lass we lived on two acres in Milwaukie, Oregon. It was a rural area-horse farms, chicken farm etc. We had chickens, ducks, pheasants, cats, dogs and a pet chipmunk. I've always been an animal lover. Now I live in Central Oregon and love the high Desert weather here. Along with my menagerie of 3 ducks, 11 hens, my dog Jasper, 2 cats, Abby & Bleu and Harry Houdini my Lionmane rabbit. The best thing is they all get along! Puddles the Pekin duck keeps everyone in line.
