Kaye's other than rabbits journal

[Kaye]

I'm from Alabama. In the heat and humidity. I have a rabbit journal already, but nothing in the social section until now!! I have a flock of (6) turkeys/(6) sarama chickens that are free range, around 30 layers, three OEGB,10 rabbits, 4 bobtail cats, 1 pit bull, and a Nigerian dwarf named Elvis.
My husband and I have an almost 4 year old daughter that helps me with everything I do and even helps in breeding the rabbits. We live on 42 acres and of course we have our wild deer and turkey on land as well. At the moment we also have my father-in-law living with us
I'm not even sure if this is an actual 'farm'. Most of the farming that's done is working the fields. Gardening. We grow a little bit of everything. Corn, beans, potatoes, tomatoes, greens, pumpkins, squash, cucumbers, you name it.
I love to paint. If I had time and money to paint all day everyday I could. I enjoy making dream catchers from the shed turkey feathers bc what else does one do with such beautiful blue feathers?? I have fallen in love with my goat and want another. Or two.
i can't say that I have ever built a house, but I have put together a few coops and cages.
I'm always ready to try new things and know that I can always learn something new.
I feel like I'm starting to ramble

Gosh Kaye, sounds like you lead a busy, productive, and yet fun life Isn't it great to have your kids actively participate with you? I had a garden and such when my kids were young, but no farm animals. Wish I could do it over and include them. Ah well... circumstances didn't allow for that in my case, life goes on.

Please feel free to ramble on and on ! That's the best part about a journal It's what makes it fun for folks like me to read So yup, I'll be following along here. Although I have to admit, I have no idea how you're going to keep up with two journals... I have enough to do with just one.

I agree with LS, and it looks like ya have a fairly "Active Life" going on there, with plans on Expansion, but when the whole Family is involved, it makes for some good times.
Life is so much Better when All that are "In the Boat" are all "Paddling" in the same Direction.
I really like the Cats, all the Birds are really Nice, and your buck looks so Lonely, but Good....glad ya thinking about getting some more. The dog sure seems Happy too. We have a garden too, tho it isn't near as fully planted and worked, as in the past, but we grow a few things.
So, will be interested in following your Adventures and Development....along with all the Pics...

We took my daughter to the circus today. She loves the tigers. Now she wants one and insists that it won't eat her

RB, B&B circus is folding up their tent. Not sure what they are going to do with the animals. Perhaps you can get your daughter one of the tigers This might be a case where the "shelter" really must be built before you get the animal.

Apparently the elephants were a HUGE (no pun intended) draw and without them attendance is way down.

Yeah, I don't know how it would work out in the case it got out. Elvis is the first thing I think about. I would have to kill the tiger. I'm pretty sure that is illegal.
She also wants one of the 'pigs' that does tricks. We have a 'pig', as she calls it, but it is actually a hog, the one from the circus is too, but she likes it and so it's a pig. She says hogs are gross and thinks she's never seen one. We have argued about it a few times.
On another note: I think my neighbor is feeding my outside dog. This is cool, I don't mind, but I have been trying to feed him as well, and have wasted the food a few times. If the turkeys find it in time it doesn't get wasted, but still. I would like to know. And it's not like he looks starving or something. He's actually kinda overweight. And he will be 9 this year so he has some dental problems. Like broken teeth. I think he just stays with the dog over there and just eats when he feeds her. I'm not really sure why he is always with her. I took her to have her fixed (puppies after puppies after puppies. They were doing nothing to prevent it, so I 'fixed' the problem. Pun intended), so she has nothing for him, besides company. Busta Brown

That's just like my 'Little Man" was, he made it to 9yrs but lost him a couple of yrs ago....tho, he didn't have the bob tail.
