  2. Hi Susan, love this photo! They are really cute!

    And thanks so much for your gentle comment on my page.

    By the way, I would like to share with you the photos of my dog Flora and my daughter's dog, showed up on Modern Pooch. Take a look:

  3. Okay. Even chickenz got to admit that's pretty cute.

    FG: Regarding your comment about how chickenz don't have arms (and hence do not require armchairs)- peoples do not have wings, but many have "Wing Chairs"! Harharharhar.

    Chicken humour.

  6. Hi Keewee,
    Definitely. It's so neat watching the different animals interact with each other.

    Hi Sonia,
    The dog photos are wonderful. I love the one lounging in the hammock--that is just too sweet. Modern Pooch looks like a neat site.

    Hi Lindy (The Chicken),
    Chicken humor is just painful. Plus you barely even use your wings. A couple of flaps up to the sleeping perch or the nesting box, and that's about it. So I don't think you need a wing chair either.

    Hi Rhodent,
    Thanks and welcome to the farm!

    Hi Sunidesus,
    Watching Dan try to get Bear to play with him is hysterical sometimes. See, it's not that Bear doesn't like Dan, it's just that Bear (who is an English and Australian Shepherd mix) has been deeply 'programmed' NOT to play with the livestock.

    He loves them with all his heart, protects them, takes care of them, even tries to lick the sheep dry when they are absolutely soaked from a rainstorm, but he doesn't play with them like he plays with Robin. And he considers Dan to be livestock.

    Unfortunately Donkey Doodle Dandy spent the first two years of his life living with (literally) a dozen hounds, so if he doesn't think he's a dog, he certainly knows how to act like one. So he makes these moves at Bear that even I know are "let's play" dog moves, and Bear just sits there and ignores him--which is what he's supposed to do. Just like when six big lambs all come over to inspect Bear. He sits completely still--or he rolls over on his back, which is a submissive position, until they get bored and go away.

    But Dan is very persistent and once in a while he will get Bear to chase him around a little. Mostly, though, he does all these little dog moves, Bear ignores them, then Bear turns and does all the same dog moves at me! I tell him to go play with poor Dan.

    What Dan really needs is his own puppy. I've been looking for a donkey girlfriend for him, but he'd probably be happier with a dog. : )

    Hi Abe/Happy,
    I'm pretty attached to Dan. The chickens, on the other hand. . . : )

  7. I can't enough of Dan! I love all of your photos but Dan is certainly special. Poor guy, I think you're right, he needs a friend. Who would have thought a donkey could be so affectionate? And so cute!

December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.

Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!

Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.

I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!
