The obligatory ritual humiliation of small dogs

Midge is still in disgrace after her shenanigans yesterday with the turkey and ham, all the more so after putting up with an evening’s worth of theft-induced flatulence more suited to a fat hippo than a Jack Russell Terrier. And so here is a second photo of Midge as she lay there suffering after her [...]

Indigestion, anyone?!

So, what do you do with leftover ham and turkey? There are many answers to that question, but if your name is Midge, you’re a Jack Russell Terrier and you’re a greedy little so-and-so, the real answer is to steal and scoff the lot. I am sure she feels a million times more miserable than [...]

Now that’s what I call Christmas decorations!

I don’t “do” Christmas. I’m neither Scrooge nor Grinch but I can’t stand the uber-hype at this time of year, the overspending, the I Want, Must Have culture that can’t be good for anyone’s health or happiness.

A big thank you!

No snow but thanks for the sun!

Having fun at Christmas

Happy yuletide and all that! Did you have a good day? Did Santa bring you your heart’s desire? Or were you too naughty…?! I bet you didn’t have as much fun as my lot: I received lots of lovely presents which shall have their own post tomorrow when things return back to normal (well, as [...]

The little things that aren’t worth blogging about on their own

I have moved the chickens to a new patch of grass. They’re not happy as they can’t hang out under the old apple tree any longer. Some bastard has swapped all the frost for mud. This exchange sucks. Tia and Scrumpy dug up an old saw in their enclosure. I’ve told them to find something [...]

Too quiet

It was very quiet up at the farm when I arrived yesterday morning. Tia and Scrumpy greeted me with their usual grunts and calls for breakfast, as did Bailey and Brini but the silence from the weaners’ enclosure was eerie. On Thursday, I delivered Cookie and Squeak to their new home where they’re going to [...]
