Birds can be trained to come for treats just like dogs. The Dadz has all of our hens well trained, and they absolutely love bread. By the time I got the camera out, they had each gotten their piece and ran away with it! Still Christmas shopping? Be sure not to miss our 2018 Holiday Gift Guide for Pets & Their Families (look for the discount codes for some … [Read more...]
A Few of Our Favorite Things – Holiday Gift Guide for Pets & Their Families 2018
One of the best things about being a pet blogger is getting the opportunity to try new products. Even though we mostly find products we like, certain ones end up being more outstanding than others, and those end up being our “keepers”.

Nature Friday – Shadows on Snow
You know what shadows on snow means, right? We finally saw some sunshine!! It wasn't out all day, but it shone on me and Luke when we took our morning walk a couple days ago. A little rain and warmth finally melted all the snow out of the trees, so it's not nearly as beautiful in the woods as it was (it is still quite pretty though). So we thought we'd take some shadow photos … [Read more...]
Personalizing Pet Memories & More with Cades & Birch (Review & Giveaway)
When we lived at our old house I started a pet memorial garden where we had buried or spread the ashes of most of the dogs and cats that passed on while we were in that home. We were there over 20 years, and there were a lot of pets: 5 cats (plus one who sadly just disappeared, so we never had her remains), and 4 dogs. Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Cades & Birch, … [Read more...]
Our Barking Dog Organic Farm Online Shop is Open!
We were over a month behind schedule, but we are thrilled to announce that our online shop is now open!! We've been selling our homemade farm products locally for over a year now, but it's always been my goal to sell online as well. I worked hard to keep the blog updated so that it would be ready to support a store. I was nervous about doing it all, but in the end it went … [Read more...]
Thankful on Thursday for….Family, Friends, Home, & Even Snow
We’ve had a little bit of a rough patch lately, actually more than a little. I won’t go into the long/detailed list of all that has gone wrong recently; suffice it to say we’ve had job losses in the family & disappointments personally, illnesses and deaths amongst family and close friends, and it has seemed to be one thing after another over the last month. It’s been … [Read more...]
Walking in a Winter Wonderland
It's difficult to believe that according to the calendar, it's still autumn here in New England; because it looks and feels like we're smack dab in the middle of winter. We weren't quite ready yet! It's not all bad though, I mentioned before that Luke and I recently took a very nice walk in the woods during a snowstorm. It was so peaceful and quiet and there were not even any … [Read more...]
Thankful on Thanksgiving
The crew all wanted to share something they are each thankful for on this Thanksgiving 2018! Luke had the most trouble narrowing things down, but he ended up choosing being thankful for all of our land and woods, so we have lots of places to walk in peace! The woods were especially quiet on this walk we took this week in the middle of a snowstorm. Samantha is thankful … [Read more...]
Making it Work – from Home with Pets
I’ve worked from home at least part-time for years now. However, up until I lost my outside job over a year ago, it was only off and on, an hour or two here or there, and I was still gone from the house three days/week after cutting back my hours when Luke joined our family. My long-time job was my main income and everything else was just on the side for supplemental … [Read more...]
Flashback Friday – First Snows
I was not looking forward to our first snow this year. Not because I don't like snow; I hate driving in it but I love walking in it, especially when there is enough to use snowshoes. I also loved to go outside and play ball with the dogs in it. However, I don't have a ball playing dog anymore (Luke will chase a ball about once and then run away with it to chew on it), and I … [Read more...]

Life with Guinea Hens – Story 5
We first decided to add guinea hens to our flock last summer, and I wrote about some of the reasons we did so in our Post “First Line of Defense – Guinea Fowl”. One reason I didn’t list was unexpected for us, and it has turned out to be the most important one – they are very entertaining! While they can be a lot of work – they are messy when raising them in the brooder, … [Read more...]
Nature Friday – Changing Seasons
What a Difference Just a Few Days Makes! It has been an unusual autumn, to say the least, but we'll spare you from lamenting about our weather in this post! It was less than a week ago that Luke and I were on our walk, and I thought it was odd that so many trees still had some green leaves: Even more odd was the color of the forest carpet, with so many greens in there. … [Read more...]
Luke’s Farm Dog Jobs – Garden Helper
It’s that time of year again; the days are getting shorter, the clocks are turned back, and the holidays are fast approaching. Here on the farm, it also means time for yard clean-up, and getting the gardens and chicken coop ready for the winter. There’s no shortage of things to do, but there is a shortage this year of nice, sunny days to get that outside work done! … [Read more...]
