I grew up in the suburbs of Maryland. DC and Baltimore isn't far, Chinese food is rad, pizza is delicious, Blue Crab is plentiful and the neighbors are close. Really close. I had virtually no exposure with this whole farm life thing.
Now, at 33, I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest on five acres. Turns out - I love it! I am learning. Every day, something crazy happens - someone gets lose, there is a goat eating my neighbor's roses, it is hoof trim day or we find a nest of mice living in our lawnmower engine. RIP mice.
Curious what and how many of what live here?
We have: 19 chickens
6 Nigerian Dwarf Goats
2 Horses (1 Arab mare, 1 QH Yearling)
2 cross breed pigs
2 dogs (husky and rat terrier)
1 rabbit
Honestly, the most well behaved one on the property is the rabbit.
The little guy in the photo is Four - short for Fortissimo. He's a little special. Born a runt and without proper nutrition, his mind and body didn't develop like his twin brother. Anyone that visits here, he is usually the favorite. He may be small and a little dense, but he is sweet!
Apparently on these blog things there is a comment section. If you have a question, ask. If you know me and want me to tell a story, ask. My job in the blog is to entertain and educate. No question is stupid.
