A day in the life of me!

Hello every,

Cutty here! Today I'm going to take you through a day in the life of me, I hope you're ready because my schedule is usually pretty packed.

Every morning I wake up and wait for mom and dad to get ready, then they get me ready by putting on my shiny orange vest. For breakfast I always get to share half of moms breakfast sandwich which is always a good start to the day.

When it's nice enough to do it I love to stick my head out the window as we drive to the farm, it is a good motivator in the morning, better than coffee. Yuck. When we get to the farm the real work begins, I have to make sure everything is running smoothly so I usually take a walk around the farm to check everything out. Once everything is ready to go we open the gates for customers. I used to be really shy around them, but I've opened up a lot since I first started and now I greet the customers with a little bark just to say hello. This also let's mom and dad know that people are here in case they are back with my Watusi friends. I forgot once and mom was not happy! She said it was an accident and gave me an ear rub anyways! I'm one lucky dog.

Sometimes I catch a quick nap, but don't tell mom. She thinks I'm always working hard. When I'm at home or have the day off I go running in the mountains with my sister or bury bones in the yard. When I'm at work and  not too busy sometimes I chase the geese and hop after the frogs. I think they like these games but they always run away so I can't be sure. I also play with my best friends Ricky, Ruby, and Lucy.

Me after some frog hopping!

Some days we get to go on field trips! My favorite place to go is the Tractor Supply! I'm allowed to go in and all of the workers there give me lots of treats and hugs. I'm very popular. When mom's been working really hard sometimes we go to the chiropractor if she needs and adjustment. I get to lay under the table and mom gets to feel better. It's a win-win.

During the end of the summer and beginning of fall dad, mom, and I start getting everything ready for winter. This means we start cleaning everything up at the farm and the house so dad has plenty of space for the plow when the snow comes. I also get to help them chop wood, this is really important to us because it heats the house in the winter and  I need there to be a fire when its cool because it's one of my favorite places to take naps (its very cozy).

At the end of the day I get to go home eat some dinner and play with my sister before I curl up and go to sleep. When I wake up I get to do it all over again.

I hope you guys enjoyed a day in the life of me, as you can see it's pretty packed with stuff but I always have time for my friends so stop by the farm and visit sometime!

Gotta go, it's time for dinner!!

Who else has cabin fever?

Hello friends....Cutty here!

Well, we are now into March and this winter weather in Northeast Pennsylvania has not been our friend.  Just seems like it's one snow or ice storm after another.  We've got another good one coming tonight.  I feel so bad for my dad cause it seems all he gets to do is clear snow at our house and at Kospia Farms.  Doesn't have much time to play with me, but I do help him as much as I can.  Sometimes I just follow him around - but mostly I keep all the other animals company.  I jump in the tractor sometimes and shove my cold nose in his ear...he seems to like this.  I heard him telling mom that I am good company.

I've posted some photos we took of all my friends at Kospia Farms.  Ricky is the baby Watusi cause he was just born in July.  Mom says there is another baby coming soon too.  I think she's right since Chung has been really bullying everyone around.

Ruby and Ricky are my best friends at the farm.  I have brothers and sisters at home but they get on my nerves sometimes.  It always better at the farm.  Mom and Dad have been working hard doing what they can to prepare for opening in Spring.  Dad's making the furniture showroom bigger.  Mom keeps reminding him that new inventory is coming so he better talk to the weather gods and bring on the warm weather!!!  That's usually when he goes back outside mumbling something.  I can never really hear what he is saying.

Mom's been working on the computer a lot and making these huge posters and brochures.  If I'm home I sit under her desk and she usually feeds me cheez-it's.  Sometimes she says stuff that Dad says I shouldn't repeat.  I think she just gets tired of the internet crashing.  I do get big hugs and kisses whenever she gets up from her chair.  Oh....AND...she throws my amazingly beautiful red rubber ball that Megan got me.  Mom says Megan must really love me a lot.  She does....I can tell too.  

Hmmm, Mom's calling.  I gotta get my vest on.  More work to be done!  Be warm and safe everyone!

Signing off....Cutty (aka best dog in the world)
