Come Out, Come Out Wherever You Are

Having livestock means having at times uninvited guests. It's always good to be aware of your surroundings and keep your eyes open. Mike was so happy Friday, because in this time of non-hunting season; he got to do a little hunting.




Notice the tail is still on the boards behind the laying boxes.

North vs South

VS

I know I'm long over due on this subject of Groundhog Day but I have good reason for it. February 2, was Groundhog Day and to me it means nothing. I don't take it if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow that means 6 more weeks of winter. Why? Because I live in the South.


Northerners have Punxsutawney Phil the Groundhog that determines if there will be 6 more weeks of winter or not. I have to say, if I was yanked out of my bed one morning and thrown onto my front porch with a bunch of flashing cameras, I would go back inside and shut the door just as Phil did this year.


Southerners have a true sign that winter is on it's way out and Spring is just peeking around the corner; the Robins. These brightly red breasted birds have made their way here.

True, the Robins might be here because of the blizzards happening up North but never the less; they're here down South!

Giant George

I'm pretty much use to hearing the "horse" jokes as I walk my Great Dane, Sully into the vet's office. I'm even used to the throwing the feed bags over my shoulder as I buy 40lbs of dog food at a time for my "horse"; but I'm telling you that Sully is considered small for a Great Dane. We adopted Sully when he was already 3 years old. Having gone through Hurricane Rita in a small pen, outside through the whole time he is so happy to have 1 1 /2 acres to run on now. Sully is only about 95 pounds. He's in perfect health considering what he went through before he became a member of the family. Yes Great Danes are big, huge, giants (gentle giants) and I tell you my story of Sully so you will understand that he's on the mini side of Great Danes.

I bring you the story of Giant George. He's the current record holder for the biggest dog in the world. A Great Dane that puts all Danes in the shadows, check it out for yourself www.giantgeorge.com

New Year Baby!!!!!!!!!!

No matter how badly last year treated you, just walk tall with your head high. This is a brand new year baby!!!

Chicken Cam (take one)

As all new things, you have to work out the kinks. This too goes for the Pet's Eye View Camera. I have obtained a few pictures from the Chicken Cam and it's not too exciting people so don't start popping pop corn just yet. I now know instead of 15 minute intervals, I need to have the camera set to take pictures every 1 or 5 minutes. I'm sure once I get it all figured out this will be great for everyone, and now ladies and gentlemen, I give you the pictures from the Chicken Cam:

A partial view of our yard with absolutely no other animal in sight!

A close up view of another chicken. Hey, be glad it wasn't a chicken butt!

Stay tune, it's going on the goat next.

Chicken Cam

The Pet's Eye View Camera has been turned into the Chicken Cam. It's currently around the neck of a chicken taking pictures every 15 minutes.

Cat collar sized to the smallest possible size with camera attached.

Collar around chicken's neck. Notice the look I'm receiving from the chicken!!!!

Chicken Cam at work, staring right into the mud and chicken feed. Stay tune for hopefully interesting pictures of a Chicken's View.
