Our Pets

Just thought I'd dedicate a post to introducing some of our pets and livestock here on Moose Spitt Farm!  We have only a few animals now.  We hope to expand in the future but with the drought this year, we're really glad this is all we have to worry about this winter!  So, without further ado, here are the other inhabitants of MSF! (Warning!  Picture heavy!)
I suppose we can go in the order in which they've become part of our farm!

 Here is my Sky-boy.  He's a Tennessee Walking horse.  He's nine years old and full of personality!  He's a real jokester!

Here's Sky's new pasture buddy, Sarge!  He turned one year old this July.  He's a real sweetheart!  He'll begin riding training sometime next year.  Very exciting!

My daughter's early bday present, Octavius!  He's a Lionhead rabbit and just the sweetest little bunny ever!

Our new kittens we received from my sister's kitty's first litter!  This one is Pip.  She's very inquisitive and very bold!  I think she'll be a great mouser as she gets older!  She loves hunting the bugs and mock-hunting her sister and the chickens!

And this sleepy baby is Cookie!  She's a little more reserved but enjoys cuddling and falling asleep in one's lap.  Aw!

 And our chickens.  They were a hatching project through the local extension office.  Some kind of meat bird.  I think they are called "Rich's Meat Bird" or something like that.  Anyway, they are a strange looking set of chicks.  And they have grown very quickly!  Here they are at two weeks old.

                                          

Smile, chicky!

All of the animals seem to be getting along quite well!

I said at the first that I would list them in order of arrival but I couldn't resist holding this picture til last.  Here are our puppy dogs.  Zorro is a large mix breed.  Liberty is a Miniature Pinscher.  They are really great dogs!  We had an issue at first as our neighbor feeds his cats on his back porch and Zorro found their food!  But after some boundary training, he seems to be doing better at recognizing where he may and may not go.  Good boy!!!

And there you have it!  Our little farm, thus far.  We have plans to expand next year.  A milk cow, some laying hens, perhaps a pig...  We'll see what the next year brings!  Thanks for visiting!

A little horsey silliness in the rain!
