Kill it, Whisper
Mr. Personality, aka Whisper, has developed a few games to play in and around the barn. Ambush is particularly fun for our little hunter. He likes to hide in the horses’ feed troughs and wait for Zip or Squeaky to … Continue reading →
Happy Friday from Bravado
The work week is almost over, and it’s been a long one for poor Bravado… Throughout this whole weaning thing, he’s stuffed his face even more frantically than usual. When little Trip’s background humming annoys Bravado, he only stops chewing long enough … Continue reading →

The other new kitty is finally out of hiding. Zipporah is much more timid, and not quite friendly, so it took her much longer to get out into the open. This kitty’s semi-official name when she arrived at the barn … Continue reading →
Dad’s new barn cat!
