My sister owns and breeds Havanese dogs for show. This year, I was asked to come along and take photographs and videos but I stayed in the club booth for aa lot of the time, and sold a lot of merch.

Free(ish) Pizza Therapy
I had casually mentioned that I was out of food in one of the Kik groups and a complete stranger who only knows me from my messages there donated $17 towards the cause. Actually, he sent me $20 PayPal which got deleted down to about $17 after two transactions to get it into my bank account where I...
Mmmm… That’s good hot slop
The new routine at least for the winter is pig slop, heated for 5 minutes on high. It stinks up the kitchen because the stove isn't clean, and as far as I can tell from the pig's body language, he not only doesn't care, I think he prefers it cool. But I'm heating it...
Half Random. Half Planned
My morning routine. Actually my whole day's routine is split into two different methods. There are part that I do on time every day specifics and then there are parts that are handled by the randomness of the dog's moods. Feeding the pig and the chickens is pretty...
I’m a sucker for sad stories and idiots
The two original chickens that I call the pigeon sisters are cute to watch but they are pretty dumb. They suffer from something called FOMO which the teenagers tell me is the fear of missing out. They are more interested in whatever I'm doing than the food I have put...
Barking dogs
Have you ever noticed that when dogs are doing irritating things, and you can't stop them, but the second you turn the camera on they stop doing it?
Wakey wakey
I only woke up twice last night and I only had to pee one of those times. Then I woke up about 5:15 a.m. and was going to get up and start my day and then suddenly the 7am alarm went off. I don't actually come out and open the chicken coop and feed the animals till...
The horrible rodent hunters
The title of this blog could be read as horrible rodents, or horrible hunters. I suppose both are equally true. There are many rats on this property although they don't get in my way too often they can occasionally startle me. The dogs however would love to catch one...
The world, she is a changing
I don't know much about how the real world is changing but here on the farm the rooster and I have almost made up. He hung around me today close and didn't maintain eye contact which I take as a sign of trust. The pig was also out of the coop wondering the backyard it...
The dog that doesn’t eat treats.
There isn't much more that I can say about that. I live with two dogs. The male one doesn't love treats but he certainly will eat them if I have my hand out. He follows me around and gives me that sad face if I have food. It's not his fact. He has a sad face all the...
Brothers and sisters
I'm not officially allowed to talk a lot about the animals. However since this blog breaks lots of official rules, and I'd be in a huge trouble if it gets discovered by the house, I figure an occasional story is okay. It's fun watching animals with an adult analytic...
First day. New day.
The weather is getting cooler. The rooster and three hands are still waking up and expecting to be fed, which is fine. The dogs, or more specifically one of the dogs, seems to be trying out something new. Barking. Barking and whimpering and whining for no apparent...
8am. I let the dogs out. Oof oof
They don't seem to like waking up when I ask them at 7:00 a.m., but they let me know what 8:00 a.m. it's time to pee. It's a nice chill September morning so I come outside with them. The chickens have eaten and are down the yard so I don't feel like I need my defense...
September 1st. Rabbit
I think my brain is a little confused. I'm tired and I'd love to sleep, but I keep taking this medication that among its other effects, it likes to keep me awake. Staying awake when you're tired makes you tired. Today is September 1st and my family has a tradition...
Monday morning dog surprise
Today was a special Monday, or at least it is supposed to be. It is the day I planned to finally throw out the secret garbage I've been keeping in my room for far too long. I call it secret garbage because I wouldn't want to throw it out using the normal procedure...
