growth


The farm is busy. Too busy. A busyness that we cannot keep up with. While we love the animals, and the growth, we do wish that Those in Charge would slow down a bit. It would be such a relief to have all the animals contained and controlled, in more than just acceptable pens, before they bring in more new additions. We have a hundred yard turkeys, with a tractor waiting to be built. Two pregnant sows in a pen waiting to give birth, while accompanied by the boar (I do not think this is a good idea.) Another pregnant sow in a trailer, waiting for a home. Seven little piglets in the back yard (in a ten foot hog panel pen.) Two rabbits who day range themselves since they dug out of the dog pens they lived in several weeks ago. The laying hens are now free in the field, as their non-electrified poultrynet kept being taken down by pigs, cows, and sheep. All these things keep life interesting- but I do think we could use quiet for awhile…
















Sit back, have a beer, and watch the chaos.

Until next time,
Angela Kelly

puppy play date

Yesterday Trilli got to have a puppy play date with her best friend, Oreo, and a new boyfriend, Yeti. Everyone in our group has a dog or two, so socializing them is essential. With several large breeds covered in our pack, they can be a bit much at first. Oreo (the pit bull) is quick like lighting, nudging the others with her nose and batting her paws. Trilli (husky and lab) loves to play but has the biggest mouth, constantly barking. We're working on that. Yeti is a basset hound and great Pyrenees mix, still growing and just beautiful. He got along with the girls wonderfully, outside taking turns pouncing on each of them. It's great to watch a pack of dogs together, it's so natural for them, their own kind; friends.  Hopefully next time I'll remember to bring my camera! Until next time, Angela Kelly

the dogs of luna acres - always ready to go

Our little farm is quite over run with animals, although most of them not the working farm type. The three dogs take turns guarding the place and sleeping on the couch. They all have their flaws and strengths, but not one of them what most would consider "well trained". We love them all the same, we know it our own fault for not working harder for them. We are blessed with space for them to run relatively free on their own. The yard this time of year is littered with deer legs and bones, the occasional head or spinal cord. It's a good life for these dogs.  Trilli and Dakota ready to go Dakota eating the snow Bandit, the oldest pup, is still always ready for a walk, even if he doesn't make it all the way there the view this afternoon  It's funny, even with all the freedom, they are always ready to go for a walk. Until next time, Angela Kelly
