More family members and some employees.....
Someone recently told us that he's big enough to eat hay! We say, he does! Recycled, used hay! From the neighbor's horses! LOL
May 2008 Look at this face! LOL... He has character, that's for sure! He's the latest addition to our family. He's our sled dog in the making. We have enough winter around here to keep this guy busy! But he has to grow a bit bigger first ;)
December 2008 Update: This beautiful guy is now 10 months old, 66lbs, and loves to go skijoring and bike-joring. The new sled hasn't arrived yet but as soon as it does we're sure he will love to head out to the hills with son and sled. He's very friendly, energetic... and even has good manners and gets along with our other animals. He's turning out to be a great companion for our son!
August 2009 Update: This guy is now 18 months old and loves to pull the sled. He had some practice last winter but now is big enough to go on longer treks. At 18 months, he could still grow some more. He and the pup in the photos below are eager to pull just about anything they're harnessed to! They pull the mountain bike, garden wagon, cross-country skis. Yet both of them can walk on a leash when necessary. They don't like it very much, though...lol
Son built a dog run this summer with the help of the dogs. He had them in harness as a team, pulling the small logs to be used for fence posts up the hill. This is part of their training and preparation to work as a team this winter when they head out on the trail. They need to be familiar with the harnesses, lines, leads, commands or they'd all end up in a tangled mess wrapped around a tree!
The new puppy...
We just got this guy (January 2009) at 13 weeks and he thinks he's ready for takeoff! He's smiley, happy, well adjusted guy who's fun to be around. The sled came in and there's no holding him back! What a lot of excitement around here with a new puppy and the new sled! I will be adding more photos of the dogs and sledding here
A little bigger. A little older.
New to the team!
New to the team!
She really doesn't lay eggs nor does she cluck. But she DOES spend a lot of time in the nest box. Even letting the hens in with her to lay their eggs!
This kitty is our upstairs employee. While she isn't much for catching mice, her presence surely doesn't hurt.
She is a kitty that must stay indoors since she has some mental problems. If there is such thing as schizophrenia in cats, surely this cat has it. She was a rescue and we keep her as protected as we can.
This guy is our big boy! And he loves to laze around the house when he can convince someone to let him in during the wintertime.
This guy could have been named Mr Mischief! And he sure is full of mischief! Good mouser, tho.
Every fall as the outside air temperatures drop, this guy climbs the kitchen door and looks in the window. Sometimes he even orders us to open the door to let him in!
Look at those fur coats! These guys are best buds -only when it's cold outside.
