a play pen! What a great idea! lol Been there done that though. Nothing like getting up every hour during an ice storm checking on the heifer that is due any minute and go out to find she had the calf in the middle of the field and left it! Bring it in the house at 4am, talk the quilt off the bed and lay down for the calf- get the hair dryers out.. (I don't even use a hair dryer and we have 2! lol)
Also remember having piglets in the house when I was younger...
I also have been known to stick them in the bathtub to thaw out.....have used the hair dryer too....you do whatever you have to to help them survive.
I have another picture of the same calf with my daughter when she was little standing by it....cutest picture, but I can't find it anymore.

I've had more than a few newborn baby bunnies/kittens/puppies/squirrels/birds in my BRA to warm up

When my day is structured by three things:
When I will do the morning chores.
When I will go to work.
When I will do the evening chores.
When your home page is the National Weather Service forecast for your area because that greatly impacts the morning and evening chores as well as what you can get done on the weekends.
When you are better known at the feed store than any other business in town.

You know you live on a farm when someone calls you and interupts your BYCing to say a cow just walked down the yellow line in front of your house!!!LOL
Interesting cow events in my area recently. Thank goodness all of ours are accounted for.

Right now I have a huge aviary with finches and parakeets, another large cage with cockatiels, 5 small house dogs that are housebroken, clean and happy as a hog in mud because of where they live, we LOVE them and wouldn't be without them . . .and then I listen to clients tell me how they wouldn't HAVE an animal in the house, because you catch all kinds of diseases from them, blah blah blah. My dear sweet cousin, who is a Vet Tech said it best; "I can't imagine my life without my pets."
Outside I have two great pyrs that I LOVE dearly and who love me, 6 Alpacas with 4 more coming home this month. . .adding chickens, goats and maybe ducks and turkeys next year . . . my list is endless.
I rescue dogs, which is how I have 3 of the 5 I have now . . .there is another little girl in a horrible cage where my Skeeter came from that is starting to worry me greatly . . .terrible conditions. How can someone who considers themselves a human being treat a "dumb" animal the ways they do is beyond me . . .she is fixed, housebroke and just darling and lives in a horrible dirty cage day after day after day and would starve to death if the neighbor didn't feed her . . .its so sad. . .and I know if I ask, I will get her because the owner simply does not care. . .
I think raising a child without some kind of pet is not always a good idea . . .I think animals makes a child learn patience and kindness and pride in taking care of someone who is not capable. I know its not always feasible in some cases, because of allergies or location, but there is always some kind of pet fish or otherwise that will work out . . .just MHO.
