At the Farm Store

winniepoodle Jun 19, 2017 20:08

Here is a little story that made me smile as it happened to me, and as I drove home. Busy week ahead. Gonna run out of chicken feed. Really no other night but tonight to pick some up. Fed the dogs, thought on principle I should feed myself, too. Left the farm with 15 minutes to make it the 10 miles to the farm store before closing at 7. Loaded in ( Read more... )

I posted in January. I didn't post in February. I'm posting in March (barely). It turns out that I do a lot of things. In fact, I have a whole circle of friends and family who seem to think I do too much. Or that I do a lot more than they do. Or that I have a lot of energy. It doesn't really seem that way to me. The only thing I note is that I don ( Read more... )

Another FB type entry: On Call

I'm On Call for the weekend. This means I don't get to see my farm from Friday 7 am until Monday 8:30 am. Beatrice came along with me this time. But I very much miss Dove and Gabriel. I have a doggie cam in their room. I signed on to see how they were and saw this:

Because, well I'm transferring from FB to LJ, but don't really always have time for an essay. Feel free to respond with just the "like."

Who is Dove?

So, this is the thing. Puppies change. Everyday they change. Who they were this morning is not necessarily who they are in the afternoon. And, in the meantime, there is the business of puppies. They need supervision. They need experiences. They need to learn their place in relation to the POODLES. So, So sorry you haven't had a chance to see Dove ( Read more... )

New Start?

I really don't think it is fair of me to follow all my LJ friends' lives vicariously, and not let them to the same with mine. It seems, though, that Beatrice's injury took the wind out of my sails, and then the addition of a puppy to the family used up any blogging time I might have thought I had. But Dawn's recent post inspired me. I really do ( Read more... )

Dove and her poodles

I have been most worried about bringing Dove into a house of not too friendly poodles. It has been going better that I thought it would. Beatrice is too intent on Dove as a plaything rather than Dove as a playmate to have them out together. Gabriel is still unsure of her. "no fast moves, missy. " But in general approves. Dove was off leash with ( Read more... )

So then, this happened.

Beatrice's injury at the Desiree seminar did not respond to a month of crate rest. In fact, her pain and limp worsened. Turns out, she had ruptured a ligament in her 'knee'. She had tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO) surgery by Dr. Flynn at Cascade Veterinary Referral Center. Surgery went well and she has now been on 2 months of crate rest ( Read more... )
