Meet our animal family so far, and let me tell you, it’s quite the circus! We’ve got four lovable dogs: Brutus, our lovable grump who could win a medal in the side eye, Lady, the gentle sweetheart who loves to love, Lucy, the furry tornado who is also just a cuddle bug when she calms down, and Titus, the pint-sized mischief maker who’s convinced he’s a wolf. On top of that, we’ve added an adventurous pig to our crew, along with a gaggle of lively geese and some goats that are 20% charm and 80% mischievous. The geese and goats were deliberate additions to our farm—think of them as our feathered and furry entertainment committee. But Ms. Piggy crashed the party in the most hilarious way! One day, BJ texted me about a baby pig prancing around in our backyard! Apparently, she was camping out in the neighboring cornfields before deciding to bust into my garden with the grace of a bulldozer. While much of my garden succumbed to her digging spree, we gained an adorable companion who’s brought endless joy—and a touch of chaos—into our lives!
Our grand plan involves recruiting more goats for milking—who doesn’t love a frothy goat latte?—and finding a charming suitor for Ms. Piggy because let’s face it, she deserves a more suitable companion and so we can have the joy of sausage and bacon babies. As we embark on our farming adventure, we’re also on the hunt for more feathered friends, though we’re still knee-deep in research to find the best bird breeds that won’t squawk too loudly about our master plan. BJ wants chickens, Christal wants ducks and more geese. You’ll just have to stay tuned to see who wins this one. While we’re busy plotting the best ways to cultivate a lucrative, thriving homestead, we can’t ignore the fact that we need a few more upgrades, like more housing and fencing to keep the party animals under control. But hey, we’re ready to embrace the chaos ahead and will be documenting every hilarious mishap and triumph, sharing our farm shenanigans with the world!
