Panda has a lot of energy so he likes to be around our legs, playfully biting our boots and coats. Sometimes it hurts but I think he's just trying to have fun. A couple days ago we let Panda meet Reecee, our calico kitten. Panda really liked Reecee and wanted to play with her. But Reecee didn't really want to play because she fluffed her tail and batted him away with her paws.

We went ice skating with Panda on one of our ponds. I think he kinda thought it was slippery!

Panda is here to guard our chickens from coyotes. He's spending time with the chickens each day for 2-3 hours to get to know them. The chickens acted startled when they were with him the first time! They flapped their wings, bawked, and ran away. Panda is a Great Pyrenees cross so he is a huge puppy compared to the size of my hens.

Panda also likes to eat the food scraps I spread out for the chickens! I think Panda and my hens will get along great!

Love, Hannah

Turkeys on the Move

Vyla, our 8 year old daughter, is this post's author... :) One day we got turkeys. They were a little bit bigger than baby chicks. We put them in a nursery for a couple weeks and then once they were done in the nursery, we put them outside on fresh grass. Once they were bigger we put them in a mobile turkey house and moved them to fresh grass each day.

Welcome Home Reecee

Vyla, our 7 year old, is the author of this blog post. She's excited to share with you about a new addition to our family: "We got a new cat. Her name is Reecee. We got her in November. Her species is calico. We like to play with her. She likes to scratch us while she plays. I am going to give her a mouse toy for Valentine's Day. I already gave it to her because I was so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It bounces around and it also squeaks." To keep reading Vyla's account of our first-ever cat in the family, click & continue.... :)
