Farm Dog #1

I wanted to share with you a few of the dogs that we have around the farms. The first one I wanted to share with everyone is Karma. Karma is a two-and-a-half-year-old Rottweiler. Karma lives with us in our house in town, and whenever my boyfriend goes to the farm, she is right along with him in his car. Karma is probably one of the funniest dogs I have ever seen with a great personality. When she is at the farm, her favorite thing to do is pretend that she is a sheep. She loves them so much that she cannot stop licking them the whole time she is with them. I have never seen a dog with so much love toward another animal.

Karma is a whole different dog when she is back home. She is very calm and lazy after a long day at the farm. We will give her a bath and after she is dried off, her favorite thing to do is go lay in the living room and watch TV with her roommates. One of her roommates put on 101 Dalmatians, and she loved it! Karma loves to sleep and snore. Also, her favorite thing to do while mom and dad are out of the house is go into the garbage and bring everything out. 

Background of the Farms

Being that this is my first post about the farms, I figured I would give you a little background information about the two of them. I grew up in a small community, graduated with 68 people, and I was born and raised on a farm. My parent's farm consisted of cows, horses, dogs, cats, a sheep and a few goats. Their farm would be more considered as a "hobby farm". We have always grown our own meat. My parents also have their own portion of land that keeps my dad pretty busy in the fall and spring.

On the other hand, I started dating my boyfriend two years ago, and I got myself involved with another farm. In other words, his farm is much larger in the animal department. My boyfriend’s dad and him have been beef farmers all their lives. We just started our sheep farm a year ago. We started out with 41 sheep, and after they had babies, we are dealing with 80 sheep. They have a large number of cattle too, about 240. The sheep are obviously a lot easier to take care of because of their size, but they do not do well in the heat. I love being at both farms, but I live closer to my boyfriend’s farm, so you may be hearing a lot more about his farm. I hope you guys enjoy my outside of school life !
