Who needs a social life at all? us fun people have plenty of friends......... and no not ALL of them have four legs.

When your birds tilt there head looking at a passing bird you do too. (i mean tilting your head to the side it's pretty funny when you think about it)

I never thought that I would say anything like that, but I 've had to tell DS TWICE to take the goat back outside and if he doesn't want to take him to the barn at least let him stay on the front porch not in my living room.

I also say clean up the rabbit poop a lot.

We had a bottle raised nubian that lived in the house when he was a baby (he was our first goat) since he was our first goat we had yet to get a pen and he would waite outside the door waiting for you to open is so he could dart in run threw the house jump on the couch and throw his head daring you to take him out

This too brought tears to my eyes. And I have had alot of tears today. But this sums it up. So very true. If people only knew how much work we put into our babies and how much we love them. God Bless the farmers.

I grew up in the suburbs, as did my husband. We married and moved to a farm. We realized we are on a farm because:

We have fish tanks with heat lamps on the kitchen counter with chicks growing up.

We go out always wearing hay in our hair.

Our suburbian relatives come over and say "Do you ever get rid of that farm smell?" and we don't notice any farm smell.

Our suburban relatives come over and immediatly wipe down their white cars to get the dust from the dirt road off.

I came home from work one winter day to my husband with the hair dryer in the kitchen drying the polish rooster who's top notch had ice crystals in it.

My friend and I slept in the back of her car with her old baby monitor hooked up so we would catch my horse delivering her baby (it worked!).

My friends and I slept in the feed room in the barn to catch another horse delivering her baby (didn't work).

I am no longer surprised to see a goat wandering in the house occasionally.

I have to explain that the prints and scratches on my car hood are from the turkeys and peafowl roosting on it during the day.

All the scars on my body are from animals.

I don't really have any clothes in my closet that don't have a picture or saying about an animal on them.

My animal's feed bill is more than I spend on groceries for us.

My Christmas cards all have pictures of my animals on them.

I will complain when I have to buy a pair of shoes for $20 but don't hesitate when the horse needs $120 shoes.

It makes me roll my eyes when I hear people complain about how hard it is to have to take care of their pets, as in one dog, one rabbit, one bird, one fish, that's just sooo many pets, man you should come to the farm for a day!

People think it's okay because we are on a farm to drop off their unwanted cats. How many barn cats do they think we need?

Overalls are dress up clothes. Anything CLEAN is considered dress up clothes.

Yep, love it! We are moving to a mini farm, and I cant wait! It wont be such a crazy transition for me, as I have always had a TON of pets, just never livestock. I grew up in the burbs, but I've shown and rescued and you name it with dogs for years, and in high school, my entire bedroom and basement was lined with aquariums full of rodents and reptiles. I frequently pull poop bags (empty!) out of my pockets while out at dinner, it doesnt phase me to pull a hunk of beef out of my hair (I feed raw), and "oh, I got poop on me" comes out of my mouth often.

Hubby gripes, but he's really as bad as me. I'm sure when we add livestock, whatever it is will end up on the couch at some point. In fact, I'm thinking the chickens, at least a couple, may come in for the dogs to meet them so they understand they are ours, not some wild creature. They are good with anything deemed "mommy's".

I just love this thread. I especially like the golf cart with the gun rack, what else would you use a golf cart for?
