Now that mom is no longer confined to crutches, my weekends are starting to include lots of fun activities again. Here’s a little look into what I was up to this weekend…
Sunbathing at the shop with my gal pal Liebe!
Playing dress-up with some of the new jewelry at the shop.
Inspecting Trooper’s new house.
And hanging out with some of my favorite friends on the farm!
What did you do this weekend? 
This is totally going to be the name of my children’s book someday, “Farmyard Fun with a Dog in the Fog”. It sounds like something straight out of a Dr. Suess book.
And truth be told, I always have a lot of farmyard fun in the fog!
The damp blanket of foggy goodness seems to bring out all of my friends to play.
I’m always the first to grab a stick and entice my friends to join in the fun.
Catch me if you can ponies!
Before I could turn around to see who was joining me in this fun game of chase I was in the middle of nowhere, and the fog had covered me in it’s blanket!
I thought I might be lost.
Cricket got worried when she could no longer see my yellow coat in the pasture.
And Blitz began nickering for me so I could find my way back to my friends.
I’M COMING PONIES!
Phew! That was a close one!
The other morning on the farm things were looking a bit eery.
The fog rolled in over the hills and I could barely see in front of my nose.
I felt like I was on another planet as the sky molded into the ground and each step I took had me wondering what was on the other side.
As I drifted around the farm I began to think that this fog could be of no use to me what-so-ever.
But I shouldn’t have been so quick to to judge because Cricket reminded me that fog was one of the best type of “weather conditions” to go hunting in.
And that is why Cricket is my girlfriend! Love ya girl!
Life on my family horse farm can be quite peaceful. I enjoy spending a lot of my time around the ponies – just quietly soaking in all the sounds and smells of the farm.
Yes – it CAN BE quite peaceful. But other days, there are groundhogs to hunt!
On these days, peaceful and quiet is not an option, as I’m sure you understand!
You may remember that my kitty pal Spider and I had started a search party for our friend Cricket the Barn cat over a month ago. When Cricket went missing (and stayed missing) for over a month Spider and I feared the worst. We hoped that she had found a new home, but despite flyers and drive-bys at the SPCA we had no clue what happened to our pal.
About to give up hope on the return of our friend, on one last stop in at the SPCA someone mentioned that there were some cats in the quarantine room that we may not have seen. As luck would have it, one of those cats was Cricket! Someone from a neighborhood near the farm (but surprisingly not that near) had found her and turned her over to the SPCA nearly 4 weeks earlier, and since then she had sat in the quarantine area because of a goopy eye (which she has been known to have).
I was so thrilled to have my pal back, and I think she was relieved to be home once again.
So Cricket, please no more wondering off – we love you too much!
P.S. Cricket and Spider have appointments to be microchipped just like I am! No more missing kitties on my watch.
Spider the Kitten and I have been on high-alert lately because our friend Cricket the Cat is missing!
Our cute and friendly pal (seen above) hasn’t been hanging around the farm in over a week and Spider and I are starting to wonder where she went.
Even though Cricket has disappeared before (perhaps to go hunting or maybe she found a nice family nearby to beg food off of), Spider and I decided to organize a search party.
Although I’m fairly certain I am doing most of the “searching” while Spider has her own little personal “party”.
I’m going to keep searching though….and my paws are crossed that my furry friend Cricket will return to the farm soon.
And Cricket, if you are reading this, I’m keeping your cat bed warm for your return and making sure your portion of the cat food doesn’t go to waste.
The family farm is such a wonderful place, not only is it home to my magical Painting Pony friends, but it also home to the barn kitties, Spider & Cricket. One of the things that is so great about all my furry friends on the farm – everyone loves each other. I love the ponies & the kitties, the kitties love the ponies & me, and the ponies love everyone too! It’s one big happy family.
Don’t you just feel the love? xoxo,
When I’m on the farm Cricket likes to do everything I do. She’s like the Cheese to my Macaroni, the Icing on my Cupcake, and the Ketchup to my French Fries all rolled into one.
When I climb logs, she climbs logs.
When I sniff scents, she sniffs scents.
And when I get lost in the depths of the giant scary log pile, she’s the one that’s sent to rescue me.
Thanks Cricket, for being the ever-lasting Cheese to my Macaroni!
Yesterday on the farm mom decided to bring the ponies’ paints out of storage for a little winter painting.
As you can see, they made quite the mess.
A mess that I somehow got suckered into cleaning up.
And my lovely assistant was absolutely no help at all!
You can check out the paintings by my fabulous pony pals on their website.
Sometimes when I’m at the farm I get the itch to wrestle and run like crazy. Sadly, sometimes my pal Trooper isn’t there to wrestle with me – so usually I find the next best thing, one of the cats!
Unfortunately the cats don’t always always feel the same way I do.
P.S. If you haven’t already seen it, I’ve got my new 2012 calendar available for purchase in my online shop! You’ll get to see my happy face all year long!
