We have a half black lab named Darby. She came from the dog pound, and is the sweetest dog! She loves the grandkids, and they can fall on her, do anything they want,and she is patient and kind. When I order chicks in the spring, she guards them from the other animals. Then, there is Petey, who is half Jack Russell, half Smooth haired Fox Terrier. He is full of energy, and our small farm is a good home for him. He has a large watering dish in the barn that is his cooling off pool. He wallows in that a lot on dog days.Then, there is the foo foo cat with long yellow and white hair. She was a throw away, and I brought her home in a little cardboard box. She is now the Queen of the house. Her name is Mopsy, and it fits her well. She goes outside sometimes, but gets scared and comes in very soon covered with mulch, then I have to brush her off. We also have a white barn cat named Sassy who loves the horses, and will not come in the house. There are the two horses, Crickett, who is 26 years old and retired, and Sundance, her son, who pulls a wooden wagon loaded with kids. They have a huge pasture, and come in and out as they please, and are very spoiled. Then there are the rooster and his 20 hens, who lay us nice huge brown eggs. When they see me, they come to the edge of the pen, and when I let them loose, they follow me. That is our gang!!
