Ayla's fur mommy and sister came to play yesterday! Which meant the day started with a bit of brushing. We don't do it nearly often enough lately, especially when Ayla's damp (which is often) so I was hoping we wouldn't get yelled out or anything. The three girls had...
The Mouse Hunter
Although we've been trying to deny it, we have a small mouse problem here on the farm. Although we live in a small city (it's more of a town really with a population of around 1000 people) and there are houses all around us, most of the farms are "working farms"...
The fur family is coming!
Alya did hear correctly underground - it's true - her fur mommy and fur sister are coming over to play this afternoon. This will set off a cleaning frenzy around the house here in a few moments and likely again when they leave. Newf fur from 3 newfies - yikes! This...
Home at last
We're back from our short vacation in Switzerland. All in all, Ayla did great and we were really happy that she was so relaxed during the trip. She slept during a major portion of the ride home and has slept a lot the few hours we have been home which we expected...
My wonderful Newfie nurse
Some of you already know that hubbers and I bought a farmhouse built in 1834 last year and are going through many steps of clean up and renovation now. We think it's a great place for Ayla because there is lots of room for her to run around but not so much grass and...
Back from the depths of the bird poo
I posted a couple of before pictures in my post I must be crazy. I would still say I was a bit crazy for starting this but on the other hand, it turned out to not be nearly as bad as I thought it might be and didn't take all that long either. I started shortly after...
Helping out around the house
Yesterday, we decided to start painting out bathroom door, the first of many doors in the house which will be repainted. We didn't want to take it all the way out to the barn so we laid it across the bathtub to paint it there. But keeping the dog out of the room...
Because of the birds…
We have recently found out that there are quite a few areas around our town that are restricted during certain parts of the year because they are bird sanctuary areas and they don't want anything disturbing the birds during mating season. Unfortunately for us, most of...
A loooong walk
Well, I wanted to post these pictures last week but I just didn't get around to it....so now that it's cold here again and even snowing a bit over the last few days, it seems like a good time to post about the few spring days that we had...and hope that they will be...
A bit more of the white stuff
This morning as Ayla was persuading me to go for the walk (I wanted a warm cup of tea first but she wasn't having it), I looked up at the sky and decided she was probably right. The clouds had been getting a bit darker and it was looking like rain. The last thing I...
