I am an animal lover. They make me less depressed, more relaxed, more observant, less reactive. They have taught me patience, compassion and have given me a belief in myself that I can do better, be better.
1 + 2 = these…
Kuma, Boy-boy, and Simmie
Pet me forever!!

Thank you!! And having your own personal zoo is a good thing. Helps to keep me sane, and grounded, and compassionate. And also drives me a little crazy 😊
It is going well Spear, thank you. Can you do me a favor and check your spam? I dropped you a line this morning. If it doesn’t show up there, could you let me know?
Yes, there were 2 comments from you in the spam folder. I need to check that folder more often, so very sorry I did not find those earlier. Thank you very much for taking the time to read and comment on my blog. I do enjoy reading yours! 🙂
She is. Likes to pull your gloves out of your back pocket and will attempt the same with your hat. She’s never actually bitten but is quite mouthy with her pursuits.
Love all the critters! What would life be without our fur kids? I hope to have horses (and maybe goats) in the not too distant future. Right now the dogs, cats, and chickens keep me pretty busy (and laughing all the time)! 😀
Awesome photos. I loved reading this whilst waiting on the packed London Underground platform at Green Park. What a contrast in environment. Wish I was where you are! Great post! Thanks.
-2C. She doesn’t really walk, more like flies across the snow, up into trees or along the fence lines. Don’t worry, she sleeps by my feet every night and won’t leave the house when it is too cold (her choice).
Oh man it sounds sooo nice there!! It was -45c with the windchill Friday! And no, no boots. Just a lot of straw on the ground and plenty of spots to get out of the wind.
That’s what I think too. And yet I don’t have any intentions on moving somewhere warmer. Perhaps in my golden years. But there is something about the cold, it brings on a hibernation of sorts. And spring is so utterly wonderful when it comes that you never spend any time inside. Until the bugs come out…How is your mosquito population?
It’s a great place, if you don’t mind poo on your shoe. It’s inevitable. 😊 And anytime you are visiting the Canadian prairies, you and your family would be welcome. 😊
How wonderful, and how right you are. My Dog “Daisy” cross German Shepherd /Lurcher (rescue ) calms me and when she rubs herself against me when I cry and jumps up at me to lick me I feel so much better. Thank you for sharing such beautiful pictures, absolute treasures. Animals nothing like them.
Awwh! She sounds super sweet! I know exactly what you mean. They always make me feel loved, like I am the best thing to enter the yard. When I open my car door, they shove their noses in and put their heads on my lap. 💖💗 Nothing better. Anna, be sure to check your spam too. I have dropped you a line or two and they might be in there. Xo.
Aw! I love these pics! All the precious! You’re so lucky 🙂
I have an extra acre, too, but I’m in the city, so I can’t have ‘livestock!’ *dreams of goats* Chickens we will have, one day!
Thanks Jolene ☺ Are chickens allowed where you are? It’s always nice to have fresh eggs, fun for the kids. Unfortunately, my dogs like the chickens a little too much. I think they bounce and fly around and it turns into a big game for them. And they are really good at stealing the eggs…
I love animals too and have practically a zoo! Loved your post.
