Catnip Junkie

12/30/2016

Hello...

my name is Henry.

and

I am a catnip junkie

It started so innocently.....they just gave me little, so I would feel good. They told me it was just harmless fun.

They lied!!

It was not long until I was hooked. I needed to get my “fix” three times a day. If the humans were not around to give it to me, I would go on the hunt for it. They were displeased when they would come home and find the house a wreck from my quest for the catnip.

The humans finally confronted me and made me see that I was a catnip junkie!!

I am now in rehab, so remember, my feline friends. Just say no to the catnip!

No cats were harmed in the writing of this post. The humans’ wounds will start healing soon.

Tale of Two Ducks

Why do flights of fancy happen on Sunday mornings? (see "Flight of Fancy" for the back story) Well here we go again, I am heading out to let the ducks and chickens out for the day, when these two ducks have other ideas. They both took off, one one at the bottom of the picture soars and comes down next to the pasture. BUT, the top duck wants to show off, she gains altitude and banks around. But there is a problem, she gets tired and starts her descent.

Mayday....Mayday......."Off course and going in for a crash landing in strange territory".

She lands a few hundred yards away across the road. From her perspective she does not know which way is home. So I trod after her and when I show up she has regained her wind. After a few moments of prodding her she takes flight, gains altitude and sees the way home. As she lands I hear the chickens make a ruckus. She must have crash landed on a chicken.

So, how smart is your dog??

Our dog Brandy is too smart for her own good. A few days ago Brandy knocked over a box in the living room, she then discovered on top of that box was dog treat box. Something you need to know about Brandy, her world revolves around food. She now knows the location of the super secret "TREAT VAULT" .

We had to relocate the treat vault to the top of the the fish tank. But, with the new found knowledge of what the treat vault looks like , she has started to plot and scheme. She knows there must be a way to get to the treat vault.

We know that she cannot reach it in its new location, but Brandy will never stop plotting......think "Wile E. Coyote" and you have the basic idea........

Electric fences on the farm need constant maintenance. Sometimes you can hear a short. It could just be a bug touching a wire and the best way to find it is when the fence is "hot". So you head out with a dry wooden stick to find and fix the problem. This also causes a another problem. You see, goats are very curious. When they see you with something they can use as a scratching post, you might as well wait for them to get their scratches in, because you are not getting any work done for a bit.
