My cats are pretty good mousers which I normally think is excellent, today not so much. I knew he had one cornered and he normally eats them. What made today different is he had in fact just eaten breakfast so wasn’t super hungry. I heard quite a bit of ruckus coming from the kitchen followed by the patter of feet’s running towards the living room. Now if I was more awake I would have realized what was coming I however…
While waiting for Purdy to eat her breakfast grain this is an ongoing conversation I have with Purl one of our Lincoln Longwools and my favorite sheep next to Ewestace of course. Purl: I see you brought Purdy grain for breakfast again… Me: Why yes Purl I did. Purl: I see and why do I not get grain? Me: Well Purl you don’t need grain to be nice you’re just friendly all the time. Purdy however will become a feral…
Things are finally coming together here, fencing is going up and sheep will be coming home very soon! Jeff has been installing the fence for our sheep to live in this week digging post holes and pounding in t-posts. The end of this week we will be bringing home the meat sheep, Ewestace and two other ewe lambs to keep her company. Then this weekend Jeff and I will be going on a road trip to pick up Purdy the…
Olive discovered how much she truly loves to swim while we were at the farm today!
We have been busy here with spring time, not only do we have the two bottle lambs but we also brought all the rabbits home this last weekend. I love having my bunnies back home where I can spoil them and love on them. One of our adult breeders Sly got to retire and went to a wonderful pet home. Sly will have other rabbits to be around as well as cats, I am so happy he went to such…
We got to try Olive on the sheep and She loved it! I can’t tell you how good for my soul going to the farm is. It makes me so happy to see the sheep and my rabbits. All the bunnies are doing well. Gus and I worked on calmly walking up on the sheep and holding the pressure. Had a wonderful day!
In a perfect world Jeff and I would be sitting in our great room on our super comfy couch with a roaring fire watching a epic movie. Our dogs would be splayed out on the hardwood floor in front of the fireplace, with kitties scattered roosting on the beams of our log cabin. Outside it would be gently snowing those huge beautiful flakes of snow. Our open kitchen would be filled with the smell of pot roast cooking and apple…
Its still dark outside when I hear the quiet thump of a tail on the bed, this is followed by a cold nose on my cheek. I usually role over trying to continue sleeping, at which point the regal Border Collie in bed with me just lays on my face. I try to remember he is doing it out of love… I hope. At this point, the overly large Maine Coon we own hears the commotion. While still trying…
She waltzed into my heart the second I saw her picture, I fell in love with her over pictures and texts. When she walked towards me, I knew she was made for me. Olive is not just one more dog for us, she has already attached herself to both Jeff and I’s hearts (it took only seconds). Olive, also know to me as Squish because she is so incredibly fluffy and squishy is an Australian Shepherd. Gus and Olive hit…
Welcome to Cacia Farms! We have a tiny plot in upstate NY where my border collie and I raise food for our family. We have 3 dogs, 3 cats, 4 breeding rabbits and a horse (the horse is boarded off site so he has friends). I love to raise my rabbits under the ever watchful eye of Gus our border collie. Gus and I also enjoy watching T.V. and quilting. We often visit Cherry Hill Training Center where Gus channels…
