Yesterday afternoon I was in the pasture cleaning up manure and playing ball with the dogs. This is their very favorite game...fetch. Can't you tell by the smile on their faces?Oakley.... Annie... Oh, I might have failed to mention...Sam...

Yesterday was the last of our temperate October days...says the weatherman. With temps in the low 60's, I took the opportunity to get some outdoor work done.Mowing for the last time, raking leaves and cleaning the pasture were the chores of the day....
- Illegal Immigrants
It was a moist, cool September morning.Fog had settled over the land making visibility poor. The sun was just rising when the call came through.It was the border patrol.There had been a break...an illegal immigration....a village obviously abandoned......

I often get the question..."Which animals take the most time to care for?" The answer to that is easy...no thought necessary.The horses! Cleaning up their manure three times daily...plus cleaning the pastures,feeding (in the winter time, they need lots...

Feeding Time....Not!
It's late in the afternoon and there is one clear message from all the critters
all over the farm....
"Hey!"
"Over here!"
"We are hungry!"
"Yeah....we are starved!"
Believe me, everyone gets plenty of feed and plenty of grazing...
but if you ask them... they never get enough!
Well, everyone except maybe for Fred...he never strays far from the food!
They often resort to using guilt...
like eating their own manure.
This is a favorite ploy of Moonbeam.
What he wants me to think is that he is so starved...
he will resort to manure munching if not fed...
NOW!
Donnie licks the rubber mat...
"Maybe there's a microscopic morsel of food here!"
And Ollie...
Ollie says..."If I could just stretch my lips a little farther,
I am sure I could reach a few morsels of hay on the other side of the fence!"
You are all pathetic!
Yes, even the piggies try to convince me that they are half starved to death!
It's obvious to me that they are bluffing!
"It's hard to believe you're starving, MaryAnn, with that food on your teeth!"
"And while I am on the subject of teeth...how about brushing yours once in a while!"
