I love to watch the show called deadliest catch. It is on the discovery channel and follows Alaskan crab fisherman through a season of fishing. The conditions these men work in are amazing and they are just as amazing in their toughness. This is not some made for TV reality show but the recording of … Continue Reading »
Well, my little hen that Tess and I rescued from the fox did not make it. I nursed her 4 days and she got strong enough to stand up and walk around. I mixed up algae water for her to drink because she could not eat solid food. It was interesting to me that … Continue Reading »
Remi, my Yang Ming temperament horse, is very well behaved with one exception. At feeding time he puts his ears back and gets too much in my space. If I confront him he backs up and I insist he put his ears up before I put feed in his bucket. Lately he has been getting … Continue Reading »
I have learned the hard way that I can’t let my chickens run loose. I do let them out occasionally if I am feeding or working right where they are. The fox around here are not shy and will come right up to the house. Most of my hens are too big to fly out … Continue Reading »

Yesterday I talked about the article in The Horse on worms in horses and the same issue had a great article on pre and probiotics. Anyone who has followed my holistic methods knows how strongly I feel about feeding a horse these products on a regular basis. In the past most articles I read suggested … Continue Reading »
I just finished reading the May 2009 issue of The Horse magazine. I was very interested in the article on worms in horses. This article focused on the resistance worms have developed to chemical dewormers. It seems that the conventional wisdom is coming to the same conclusions that many of us holistic types have been … Continue Reading »

In network marketing edification is used … Continue Reading »
My chicks are 10 days old today and doing very well. When they were 2 days old I had to move them into a nursery so my cat, Owl, could not get at them. I thought it would be a simple deal to put them in my neighbors dog pen and then put … Continue Reading »
I had to put Remi back in natural balance shoes yesterday. I loved the epona shoes but they did not hold up well in my rocky terrain. I feel the challenges with this shoe were more Remi and not the shoe itself. I loved that the epona shoe gave such good frog support and … Continue Reading »
I just got off a 3 way call between myself and 2 other people I care about very much. I have come to enjoy three way calls but occasionally one will be a bit rough. I have found these calls can be the ones that teach me the most. Here is what just happened. … Continue Reading »

He had recently been treated for an impaction colic and although recovered from that his appetite had not picked up. Now Bud was several hundred pounds under … Continue Reading »
I am totally impressed with anyone who has the patience to wait 11 months for a foal to be born. I have been on pins and needles for the last 21 days waiting for my first set of chicks to hatch out. I have two game hens sitting on the same nest and … Continue Reading »
