    My Russian Blue Kitty died last night :(

    He was sleeping on my lap and we were watching TV. All of a sudden he flew two feet in the air, landed on his side, twisted, shook, screamed and died. I was sitting there in shock after having a perfectly happy kitty on my lap a minute ago. I still can’t believe this happened. Hubby thinks he...

    Selling a horse blues...

    I’ve got the blues about selling one of my horses. I found him a wonderful home, got my asking price worth and sold a horse when hardly nothing is moving in my part of the horse market...I shouldn't be complaining…yet…I am sad. I will miss him. This is the second horse out of 6 we sold this year...

    Coming down with a cold before Christmas :(

    Seriously? First my husband brought home a super bug from his trip to TN, so we had a stomach flu for a week, now I am congested to the point that my head wants to explode, running a fever. But co-workers look at you funny if you take a sick day unless you are half dead. Approaching this mark...

    Not in the Christmas spirit?

    Hm…I was just accused of not being in the Christmas spirit. Apparently it is not good to not bring home made food to a pot luck. Well, I am the worlds worst cook and quite honestly, after putting in my 14hr workday between the job and the farm, the least bit on my mind is to cater to some...

    Computer Question

    Since I am not very good with computers but my old guy is turning 8 this year and starting to leave me, I must look for a replacement. Now, mostly I just fool around on the computer although I do some serious work too occasionally. I do have a bunch of favorite video games and they are...

    Just can't get this out of my head

    This week 2 siblings were killed when they crashed in their car and hit the back end of a school bus. Their mother was worried when she didn't hear from them and followed the road they took and found them. So close to Christmas and to lose both of your children like that...it's just terrible...

    Just when I thought I could never replace my filly...

    Sadly, as a few of you know, we lost our 3 year old filly to a severe colic over Thanksgiving weekend. That was one of the hardest things I ever had to go through and it was a devastating blow to our breeding program. The vets and us did everything we could but in the end we just couldn’t save...

    My car got hit...again :(

    What is wrong with people??? I just got rear ended the second time in 2 months! First somebody hit me at a red light, now somebody else hit me in the parking lot. That person was bold enough to leave his/her car sitting there smooched up to my back bumper. No note on my car apologizing or...

    Winter = more feathers = difficult plucking???

    I processed 2 of my roos last weekend. Those were my 10th and 11th that I have done this year. I scalded them at 155-160 degrees and then chilled in 55 degrees for approx 20sec each time. I then did it again to make sure I have the bird all the way wet. However, the plucking was sheer misery...

    Do animals commit suicide?

    Just read this interesting article online. I always thought that some of the animals I had intentionally did things that ended up killing them. I joked that they tried to commit suicide. This makes me wonder if I was right...

    Interesting conversation at the police station

    Long story short, last week one of my horses escaped. Thanks to the police he made it safely back home and I wanted to bring the office involved some eggs today as a little “Thank You”. I was told that he wasn’t in for the day so I asked the lady if she could be kind enough to put the eggs on...

    Dealing with the death of a beloved pet

    I was wondering how all of you farmers deal with the death of a beloved animal? If you had one animal that was your pet, your buddy and nothing that you tried to do to save it helped and you ended up having to put it down? You know you have to do it but it just hurts so bad? How do you ever get...

    Medium in Long Island on TLC

    Has anybody seen this show? I saw it for the first time yesterday. Not sure what to think of it yet. The people seem sincere but it is just...I don't know. I hope she is not a fake and taking advantage of peoples grief. What do y'alls think?
