Black Feather Farm

When I walked outside this morning, I saw something beautiful.{ No not the yucca plants} Two vultures circling right over my neighbors house, it made me feel hopeful.....I took it as a good omen. The above is a photo of my beautiful yucca plants that bloomed last year, then one promptly died. Nothing changed, they were a picture of health. I must have looked at the one too hard. Note to self: Ignore the yucca plants. The following is based on an actual event. The names have not been changed to protect the innocent, as the innocent were not involved. Only because they can't get through the fence. I hear the dogs are barking, I know what its about, Tessa's in the pasture again, She knows she supposed to stay out. What is she doing now? A question I'm often asking, Oh, I say as I see her, It appears she multi-ta...

The giveaway winner is - quitecontrary1977. Email me at Wildhorsemoon to let me know your choice and where to send it ! Though I didn't get her for Christmas, my lump of coal has one blue eye. I don't know if she is cosmic payback for something I've done{ I won't ever do it again} or just the odds that I would finally get a digger, chewer, destroyer of all things, escape artist, free spirit with no concept of rules, dog. She has been more trouble than my other five put together ! Don't worry, she is so loved and spoiled it is ridiculous. I poke fun at her, but she is very clever and she is doing better with all, I can make mommy pull her hair out, things. She has been easy for me to train, and has learned walking on a leash, {at heel mind you} sitting, staying, laying down, waving, & shaking paws. Progress... a good thing. She also makes a me laugh, ALOT, and is my jester to be sure. My bald patches are starting to grow in. Yes, at my house, when out on...

Dear Santa, All I want for Christmas, is that DARN squirrel ! Yours truly, Tessa ~

Trouble wrapped in an adorable package is still trouble. Please see "Tessa" in the dictionary, under "folly." She believes the world is her oyster, and she does make me say - "OY" alot. In her mind it all makes perfect sense - If you don't want it shredded, put it away. If you don't want holes in the yard, make the ground "undig -able." Oh, I thought it was a game, you plant it, I dig it back up. If you don't want me to go over there, you will have to watch me every minute, as my secret identity is " Houdini," master of escape. I like to smile at you, and make my blue eye twinkle when you scold me, as I can tell you aren't really mad. Aren't you having fun? I know I am. Rules ? What rules ? I don't remember any rules. What would we need them for? And if you have ever wondered why you never see collars on my dogs, it is because Hannah uses them to drag everyone else around. That would be in between my throwing her...

There IS something in there..... The tip of my tail is camouflaged at least ! My form is nearly perfect ! My " I know, I'm adorable" shot by the thistle. I so love the water, and when I get out, I will share some with mom.

My mom says I have authority issues. It's just that I don't like rules. I don't see what the big deal is, she never wore that hat anyway. And, that running amuck thing, I don't even know what she means. I don't think the neighbor minded that I was playing in her pond, so it couldn't be that. I'm sure it will all work out fine after that spaying day she keeps saying is coming up. She did mention it would include a short road trip and something about a one day vacation.
