Tasty Acres Homestead

Two weeks ago my uncle passed from this earth (one more death that has left me devastated) but I am moving on and trying not to think to much about it.

Kitty dislocated her shoulder and the vet here wouldn't take care of it and taking her to Anchorage was going to cost $$$$ so that was not an option.... But she is healing up great, it is almost totally healed.

Boaz is doing great, love my pup.

We are moving hopefully around December.... The house is going to need floors replaced and ceiling stripped. The yard is a mess but it is on 9-acres. I am enlited about this place... So much potential.

I asked dad if I could give you guys a bit of info.

With the 9-acres we are going to have to find a pair of lgds, so we are keeping an eye out for possible future litters.

Dad has decided once we have moved we are going to tear down the trailer and build a tiny home on it and rent it out during the summer. You can charge $150 a night.

Instead of doing skijorring we have switched to bikejoring. He loves it.

We start school in 1-week.... I will be in 8th grade and hopefully 9th by the end of the year.

Oh man, your recent family losses are so beyond "reasonable expectation"! :hugs Speaking of which, how is your cousin doing? I ASSUME he has moved in with your family by now.

So there is a house and a trailer on the property now? I haven't seen it obviously but 9 acres is so much more in line with what you want to do than prior possibilities. I hope it works out as planned.

Yes they are... I just miss all the family.

Well, also one thing is a dear friend of mine passed 3-weeks ago. Which has really been a blow to me.

Cousin is fitting in great.... He is still struggling with the loss of his mom but he is handling it well. He is a really sweet child.

Yes, so much better for what we want to do... The property has 2-barns, a 20/15-foot greenhouse, 2-pole barns/shops, 6-sheds, and 2-chicken pens. Also two 1-acre paddocks... All fenced with chain link fencing (bucks will be going there).
Dad is looking at around 3 milk cows, 20-goats, 3-5-tamworth pigs, 200-chickens, 25-ducks, and a pair of Pyrenees. Also my husky.

I am also allowed a horse so we will see how that goes.

We won't be able to be able to get out to the property till at least December... Maybe sooner.

This one sounds great, all those pre-existing buildings and fencing will make your family's dreams possible.

December? You won't get the property until it is too dark all day long to see it ;)

Lol, we will be able to do some things... Spring is when we will be able to work on the house/property.

Yes, it should... Which is amazing! I am really excited about the opportunity.

We are getting ready to move! Yay!

Okay, I should probably tell ya all what we are doing...

So you all know we are moving to my uncles place but not till November - December... But my cousin and his wife have a 4bed, 3bath, cabin that they offered to us to rent till the Homestead is ready for us to move in.

I am really looking forward to moving... I nearly started crying just at the thought of having a kitchen, a full sized kitchen. I can't wait till I can bake.

Also we are right across from the homestead so we can just walk over there and work on things.

Uncle also left us with his 9-turkeys... I am hoping to get them healthy again... People who are taking care of them just don't know how to take care of them properly... One of the hens has bubble foot, they are just sickly looking.

I will get pictures later today.​

Is that the uncle that died recently?

I've not had to deal with bumblefoot but from what I've read it is treatable in many cases. I'm sure you will get her back to health.
