That Darn Cat!

I have had dogs all of my life.   Then 5 or 6 years ago when my dachshund died I knew a dog wasn’t a good fit for our lifestyle so I got cats.   Two of them.  A sister (Cally) and brother (Smudgie)  who were found huddled together with another sibling in a snow bank.  It has been quite a learning experience to say the least.   Cally is pretty much a slug – sleeping her days away.  Smudgie is the cat about town.  My intention was to have indoor cats but he would hear nothing of that.  Once the windows are open in the springtime, he is relentless in his quest to get outside.  I have had to replace window blinds countless times due to his escape efforts.  And he pops up everywhere!  Rumor has it he visits all of our neighbor's pets by peering in their basement windows.



At least he’s self sufficient….
That darn cat!

Silly Sheep! They Fertilize! Fertilizer Friday

When I wrote this post it was not intentionally written for Fertilizer Friday.  As I was trying to think of what I would write about this week, I had a “DUH!” moment.  A few days ago, I wrote a post about sheep and thought “Sheep are natural fertilizers!”.  (If you have access to their poop!)  So without further ado….

From time to time I come across things that I simply must share.  I’ve been following a blog called “Chickens in the Road” by Suzanne McMinn.   Suzanne lives on a remote farm with a barnyard full of animals.  She has an interesting life, writes well and it is always amusing to read. Click on the picture to visit her blog.

Recently she included a 1 minute video of funny farm activity.  If you need a belly laugh, check it out.   You deserve it!
