Do you ever get the feeling like you are being watched?
I feel like that a lot actually. It’s like no matter what way I turn there is someone looking over my shoulder.
Oh I should of known! My gal Cricket is always tailing me!
That’s ok though, she’s a pretty sweet tail to have!

Have you heard of Mattie & Margot? If not, then you are missing out my friend. Makers of stylish handmade dog collars, Mattie & Margot carry every color under the sun, and they’re just what I needed to brighten up my summer!
I purchased one of Mattie & Margot’s Mystery Collars (in yellow) and received this sunny Yellow Gold collar – isn’t it happy? With their Mystery Collars you can choose a color range for $16 or let it be a total surprise for $12 – what a great deal!
And because Rachael (the expert sewing machine operator behind Mattie & Margot) knew that us farm dogs always need a back-up collar, she sent along this snazzy Bluebird/Navy Collar too.
I’m still not sure which one I will stink up first on the farm, it’s a tough call.
I was looking so fine in my new collars that my kitty pal Spider got a little jealous. Too bad for her they don’t come in kitty sizes!
But for all you canines out there, I’m sure there’s a Mattie & Margot Collar just for you, they even come in a new miniature size! Which one would you choose?

The other morning on the farm things were looking a bit eery.
The fog rolled in over the hills and I could barely see in front of my nose.
I felt like I was on another planet as the sky molded into the ground and each step I took had me wondering what was on the other side.
As I drifted around the farm I began to think that this fog could be of no use to me what-so-ever.
But I shouldn’t have been so quick to to judge because Cricket reminded me that fog was one of the best type of “weather conditions” to go hunting in.
And that is why Cricket is my girlfriend! Love ya girl!
Life on my family horse farm can be quite peaceful. I enjoy spending a lot of my time around the ponies – just quietly soaking in all the sounds and smells of the farm.
Yes – it CAN BE quite peaceful. But other days, there are groundhogs to hunt!
On these days, peaceful and quiet is not an option, as I’m sure you understand!
You may remember that my kitty pal Spider and I had started a search party for our friend Cricket the Barn cat over a month ago. When Cricket went missing (and stayed missing) for over a month Spider and I feared the worst. We hoped that she had found a new home, but despite flyers and drive-bys at the SPCA we had no clue what happened to our pal.
About to give up hope on the return of our friend, on one last stop in at the SPCA someone mentioned that there were some cats in the quarantine room that we may not have seen. As luck would have it, one of those cats was Cricket! Someone from a neighborhood near the farm (but surprisingly not that near) had found her and turned her over to the SPCA nearly 4 weeks earlier, and since then she had sat in the quarantine area because of a goopy eye (which she has been known to have).
I was so thrilled to have my pal back, and I think she was relieved to be home once again.
So Cricket, please no more wondering off – we love you too much!
P.S. Cricket and Spider have appointments to be microchipped just like I am! No more missing kitties on my watch.
Spider the Kitten and I have been on high-alert lately because our friend Cricket the Cat is missing!
Our cute and friendly pal (seen above) hasn’t been hanging around the farm in over a week and Spider and I are starting to wonder where she went.
Even though Cricket has disappeared before (perhaps to go hunting or maybe she found a nice family nearby to beg food off of), Spider and I decided to organize a search party.
Although I’m fairly certain I am doing most of the “searching” while Spider has her own little personal “party”.
I’m going to keep searching though….and my paws are crossed that my furry friend Cricket will return to the farm soon.
And Cricket, if you are reading this, I’m keeping your cat bed warm for your return and making sure your portion of the cat food doesn’t go to waste.
The family farm is such a wonderful place, not only is it home to my magical Painting Pony friends, but it also home to the barn kitties, Spider & Cricket. One of the things that is so great about all my furry friends on the farm – everyone loves each other. I love the ponies & the kitties, the kitties love the ponies & me, and the ponies love everyone too! It’s one big happy family.
Don’t you just feel the love? xoxo,
Last night when I was at the the farm it snowed! Being the adventuresome type that I am, I went off to do some exploring while the white stuff was falling from the sky.
Spider (of course) took it upon herself to follow me on my adventure, and never one to be out-done, Spider did a little showing off. (don’t tell her but I was slightly impressed with her tight-rope walking skills)
And as if she hadn’t already showed me up enough, then she took it upon herself to write her name in the snow.
I can’t read “kitty”, but I’m pretty sure that it says “Spider Rules and Ammo Drools”.
Little did she know though, but I also know how to write my name in the snow!
And for those of you who can’t read “dog” it says, “Dear Spider, while you were out I ate all of your kitty food and left some yellow snow on your pillow. xoxo Ammo”.
I am Dog, Hear Me Roar Bark! hehe.
When I’m on the farm Cricket likes to do everything I do. She’s like the Cheese to my Macaroni, the Icing on my Cupcake, and the Ketchup to my French Fries all rolled into one.
When I climb logs, she climbs logs.
When I sniff scents, she sniffs scents.
And when I get lost in the depths of the giant scary log pile, she’s the one that’s sent to rescue me.
Thanks Cricket, for being the ever-lasting Cheese to my Macaroni!
Yesterday morning on the farm a cool mist of fog rolled in over the hills.
All the horses amidst a backdrop of fogginess had such an ominous look about them.
Including my pal Spider the Kitten.
Mom said the foggy sky must have brought out the feisty in Spider.
I have to admit, she had a crazier than normal look in her eye.
But when I inspected her thoroughly ….
…and sniffed every square inch…
….I couldn’t find anything that smelled like feisty! Nope, just regular old Spider.
Feisty smelling or not, excitement abounds whenever Spider has the look of fire in her eyes!
Yipeee!
