Life on the Farm

Simple snapshots of life on the farm.

It’s quite simply my favorite place to be. Where’s your favorite place?

Happy Day o’ Digging

Digging Digging Digging.

Oh Happy Day. Digging Digging Digging.

Yet I get the feeling I’m not alone on this happy day of digging.

Hey Spider! I see you in there!

There’s no use hiding I can see you.

I knew you were spying on me!

Well if you’re gonna follow me, you might as well put those paws to some good use and help me DIG!

 

Somethings Missing

Cricket and I are sad. Sad because something is missing.

It’s Spider the Kitten.

Mom says not to worry, because Spider just had to visit the vet for a few days to get spayed, and that she’ll be back before we know it.

So me and Cricket are going to sit and wait for our feisty little friend to return to the farm. Because things just aren’t the same without her.

P.S. Want to hear all about mom’s trip with Boomerang to the Horse World Expo? And their Extreme Cowboy Race Competition? Check out the ponie’s blog entry all about it HERE!

Snowcat

Yesterday we got more snow. It was fantastic. Everything smells different when it snows.

It’s like I get to re-sniff everything I sniffed before. Even my pal Spider the Kitten likes the snow.

I pretty much taught her everything she knows.

Now if you will excuse me, I have to get back to exploring my new world.

Cats Climb Trees and Dogs Eat Sticks

Ok fine, maybe cats can eat sticks too…..but it’s not fair that I can’t climb trees!

Regardless, the bigger Spider the Kitten gets, the more fun we have!

Here’s a few videos to prove it…..

She just better teach me how to climb trees soon!

My Shadow

I have a shadow, as in a kitten shadow, as in Spider the Kitten.

See at the farm it’s MY JOB to help mom bring hay to the ponies! Well now that Spider is getting bigger, she’s trying to be just like me. I mean I know I’m pretty cool, but does she have to do everything I do?

What’s even worse is that she’s trying to show me up!

True, sometimes I get a little distracted from my duties.

It’s kinda hard not to get distracted when there are so many great smells.

But really Spider? Do you have to ride in the wheel barrel and help hand out hay? Come on. You’re making me look bad!

Sharing

I’m soooo nice to my pals. Like really nice. So nice that I share my toys and my bones! Just check out this video from when Trooper and Spider visited the shop.

Ok fine, I was out on my walk and I had no idea that Spider was playing with my favorite toy, and Trooper was eating my bone. But I MIGHT have shared if they had asked!

Kitty Sneak Attack

Yesterday I got to do some scampering around the farm with my two favorite kitties, Cricket and Spider, before work.

I still don’t understand how Cricket is perfectly fine in the chilly barn without a sweater and I have to wear TWO winter coats, and I’m still cold! Do you think that makes me a Pansie?

Even little itty bitty Spider has no problem with the Winter air. I’m beginning to think something is wrong with me…..I swear I’m not an “indoor dog”.

oh look, so cute.

Sometimes  I worry about what Cricket is teaching Spider when I’m not around. I mean just look…..they’re both practicing their sneak attacks – on me!

I just wish they wouldn’t practice on me while I’m “compromised”. Can’t a dog relieve himself in private?

And thus ends my exciting morning at the farm. Until next time!

Cat Nap

My new pal Spider may still be young, but one thing is for sure, she’s definitely mastered the cat nap. Bravo Spider, Bravo.

I very much look forward to some “cat naps” in the sun at the farm with my girls, Cricket and Spider.

Spider in the Barn

Remember how I said that Cricket, the farm cat, was getting a new friend? Well on Halloween night we FINALLY got to bring our kitten home to the farm.

I read EVERYONE’S name suggestions, and thought long and hard about what would be a perfect name for the little kitten – and in the end – me and Cricket decided to name her SPIDER! You know, on account of that it was Halloween and all – no to mention boy can she climb!!

Please tell me she’s not cuter than me?

I just know me, Cricket and Spider are going to have lots of adventures together when she gets bigger!
