The ‘Kinkless’ Hose
We use water hoses. They are like the veins of the farm. Over the years we have strung out hundreds of feet of hose to all of our different animal enclosures. During the summer it is crucial that the hoses be operational, as the animals drink too much water for us to refill their dishes … Continue reading The ‘Kinkless’ Hose
Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of Summoning My Humans
This week I would like to discuss the many lengths I go through to get the attention of my humans. My humans are quite foolish.

Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of The Catwalks
This week I have chosen to discuss the network of walkways, also known as fences, which the humans have installed for me.

So, they installed a network of elevated catwalks … Continue reading Mickey’s Monday Musings – Wisdom of the Cat: On the Topic of The Catwalks

The Good Ol’ Chicken Trailer
This story starts way back in the Fall of 2011. At the time we were living in a rental house.

Our flock of chickens was smaller than it is now, only about 20 … Continue reading The Good Ol’ Chicken Trailer
