Emotionally involved much?

Crying at the thought of Jenna selling Merlin? These are the very people that fund and donate and pay for Jennas every whim.

Think of all the people paying so Jenna can spend her life sitting in a brewery.

It brings tears to their eyes she might not be able to drink and drive.

Had to squeeze this one in

I agree, he doesn't take a bad picture.

Lola

We had a bareback walk stop walk stop walk stop lesson tonight with Johnathon leading with me on her back.

Evidently she's a challenge.

Baby steps.

Buckled in!

Anyone else read this series?

It was a childhood favorite of mine.

I need to revisit them.

I'm sure they are in my parents attic at this point.

One way to spend a Monday

Worked on Saturday.

Took off Monday.

Got the boat wet.

I'm rather be farming but am happy he is enjoying the boat.

He boats...I day dream about pigs.

Sweet puppy. The only girl.

Man (daughter) down

Johnathons daughter just got nailed by a puppy...and it's the first week of school.

Feel so bad for her.

60% of the pigs calories

60% of 4 pigs calories?

I call bs...that or the pigs aren't eating enough of the right calories.

Ayrshire Farm Abuse

Help spread the word about the pigs abused and neglected at Certified Humane Ayrshire Farm in Upperville VA. I worked there and what goes on is horrific. The farm owner Sandy Lerner is going to court for criminal animal cruelty based on a criminal complaint I made because Loudoun County Animal Services refuses to publically acknowledge the abuse or press charges. Please sign the petition to reopen the criminal animal cruelty investigation against Ayrshire Farm.

https://www.facebook.com/ayrshirefarmabuse

I'm sorry for the graphic images of the pigs from Ayrshire Farm but need to show the extent of the problem. Untreated pigs with mange, pig lice, severe internal parasites, coccidia, etc. Not one vet was called to the farm during my 9 months working there to examine a pig. A vet never looked at any of these pigs.

Please consider signing the petition requesting Loudoun County Animal Services to reopen the criminal animal cruelty investigation at Ayrshire Farm.

Birth defect

I took her pregnant mom in my spring semester my sophomore year of college.

She was my pick of the litter.

Laying the foundation

It just occurred to me driving this 89 truck making yourself look desperate and poor while a fancy 04 sits in your driveway is sneakily genius.

New readers see an older "scrappy" truck she couldn't even afford to buy or repair and donate. A dodge Dakota...that doesn't garner many sympathy votes when your vehicle is nicer and newer than those you are begging for drive.

Smooth move Jenna. Smooth move.

She's a sly fox that one.

Akin to the pan handlers that get in their bmw at the end of the day.

Surgery

That's what I call a surgery.

Cali was discharged 2 days after the limb and shoulder amputation.

Bounced back immediately.

More pictures of dogs galore here...I believe the album is public.

?

Anyone want to venture and guess what my issue is with this?

Taking bets

Next crisis?

Barn roof is unstable and needs fixed asap (doesn't fix roof and pockets money...or raises in excess and pockets surplus)

Perhaps some code or "authority" mandating a fix or compliance issue? Chimney/pipes or similar.

Once in a lifetime friend of Merlin who is just fine being a single horse one day but will require a buddy the following day.

Faking needing an MRI or Cat Scan?

More money because the kickstarter funds weren't "enough" to get the book edited and published (que wool CSA).

Wonder how she will fund the new equipment for the next horse? Harnesses and such. Of course she will need a New cart for the "team" that she depends on to get from point a to point b. ;)

Until clients are happy?

You mean until 6 pm tomorrow or 3 emails...customer satisfaction be damned.

This means she will send you some scrappy crap if (your lucky) and never respond to an email...

...or just take your money and "misplace" your email address indefinitely. Sorry, no logo for you.

Unfair? Yes, unfair to the livestock

A GOS replacement gilt purchased from NC was dead within 2 months when it was crushed and suffocated to death because no shelter was provided in November on a bald hillside with no windbreak or bedding.

That's Ayrshire Farm for you.

The public makes me ill.

The farming community as a whole is disgusting me.

Nothing controversial. Nothing that rocks the boat.

Its why Michael Vick and Joe Paterno are still loyally supported.

Fucking disgusting.

Abuse awareness = drama

Abuse awareness = pr stink for stinks sake?

Abuse awareness = trolling?

Number drop and threaten to sell Merlin

F the tapes...send the girl cash!

Expected Expences?

Animals mean money?

No freaking way?!.

Practice

I always practice archery...and when I do it's in the direction of the majority of my animals.

In Jennas world

No...you can't avoid your responsibilities and promises.

Anyone who reads this quote and sends the girl money...well you're asking for it.

That quote is a big fuck you to her and animals, clients, and funders.

Her Twitter is a bigger joke than her blog.

Sheep escapes and selfie sticks

Ummmmm

Jenna your live is one big selfie stick.

Have you watched any of your blogs recently?

Are you being serious or kidding.

I really can't grasp how completely ignorant and blind you must be of your own existence to make that statement.

People have given you how much over the years? $50,000? $100,000? ...and you still can't build or have built a fence that safely contains your sheep?

You need to drive that new gifted truck to a fence workshop. Stop hosting garbage and start learning and applying yourself. What a waste.

Cali is not amused

Trying to shower

Sharpening the blade

Johnathon wasn't allowed to use a chainsaw until he learned to sharpen the chain.

He takes pride in his work and the condition of his tools.

He says if you're not going to do it right don't do it at all.

Long day of work for us tomorrow.

Ending the day with a half bushel of crabs, scallops, salmon cakes, and shrimp.

The neighbors invited us to share a bushel of crabs. Johnathon will steam the shrimp, the salmon cakes are prepped, and scallops are wrapped in bacon (not my bacon though so none for me!).

There was also a recent credit building boat purchase. More on that later. There will be some salt water boating in our future!

A loving tribute to Molly and Maisy

To Molly, The One Who Taught Me How To Fiercely Love

Molly was the easy puppy we all hoped to get.  A calm, loving black bear cub.  Never chewed up anything and never peed in the house.  Her nickname was "sneaky" because she so quietly followed me everywhere just to be near her human.  The term "Lazy," came up early in our lives together, but she simply chose to conserve her energy for when it truly mattered such as for deer, rabbits, or squirrel ( or a chip hit the floor).  I certainly did not care that she failed a fancy hunting test and was given away as a "dud."  She was the best chips eating, football watching, couch cuddling dog ever known.  She cared more about making sure I was in her sight at all times even during fun trail hikes off leash than anything else.  I am blessed her final 24hrs were amazing. Not because I knew she was about to have a spinal cord stroke, but because this is the life we had.  She went on a business trip with me, head-out-the-window, through the mtns of TN.  Along the way, we stopped to hike in the Smokies and swim in lakes, then we got upgraded at the hotel to a big ole king sized bed which we ate fried chicken in while cuddling at midnight.  The next morning, I asked if she wanted to "go for a walk!" she looked up at me with the biggest smile ever, then  suddenly had a stroke.  I got her to an ER in a strange town and upon learning she would always be paralyzed on her entire left side, I decided to let her go.  When it is my time, I would love to have a final 24 hrs like that,  then a sudden, short stint of pain before dying with my favorite companion by my side looking into my eyes.  How could I not do that for her after all she gave me? 

 To Maisy, The One Who Taught Me How To Fiercely Ask For What I Want

   Maisy was the puppy we all end up with.  She constantly barked at anyone and everyone to play fetch or joyfully run around outside.  She loved everyone and everything (except salamanders and geckos).  She would just as easily get in a car with strangers as with me.  Exuberant and passionate for everything!  The term "bad dog" came up early on in our lives together, butshe taught me that endless passion, strong drive, acute agility and overwhelming zest for life does not mean “bad?”  She asked for what she wanted (play, Woman!!) without apology and literally everyone laughed and loved her for it.  Very late at night, when no one was looking, she would sneak in to cuddle.  Her last night was a fun evening with friends gathered around our porch in which she gave each of them a turn to play with her late into the night.  The next morning, she could not stand up.  She slipped a disc in her lower back which proved painful and inoperable.  She would never run, play, swim or chase a ball again.  When I rolled a ball at her in the ER, and it bounced off her muzzle, the look in her eye told me to let her go.  How could I not do that for her after all she gave me?  

These girls traveled with me overseas for my job to less than ideal locations.  Every time they deplaned, they took one look around and were happy.  We had couches, tennis balls and each other.  Together they taught me that the grass is only as green as we choose it to be on any given day, in any given location.  They always chose happiness.  Don't forget to love, don't forget to play, always ask for what you want, (no matter what because the worthy people will love you for it); and don't be afraid to strive ahead, but always keep the ones you love close by. 

But now, as if to just pile it on, the deer, rabbits, squirrels and salamanders seem to know my girls are gone.  Much to the chagrin of my neighbors, I find myself running, screaming and waving my arms (and laughing) across the backyard to scare them away from my garden.  In the spirit of my girls, I just have to...

Seamless

Cali is generally dog aggressive with strange dogs. Add a mother hen with 3 puppies (that's being generous, she's playing along) and it spells disaster, right?

Wrong.

I didn't work today and took my crew to romp at a job site near Johnathons house. I stopped back on the way home to use the bathroom. I go back out to my car and intros were done.

Cali and Sheetz cohabitating from the get go. The absence of my nervous energy certainly helped.

Welcome to part of the big happy family. Sheetz and my crew hanging peacefully.

There's a deaf cat in the mix and a chinchilla. Smooth sailing.

Cali is TERRIFIED of the puppies.

Gibson 3 legs

Per Jennas plan shouldn't the useless not herding or working dog Gibson be taken out back and shot?

Btw, 3 legged dogs do just fine.

Cali, the black dog pictured, has 3 legs and is 10.5 and could run circles around Jenna.

Want to know what a real surgery costs associated with an amputation? $2,300.

Stiches aren't surgery.

Why did she purchase and fly in another dog if she can afford the ones she already has?

"The vet said I could leave him here and return in a few hours but I asked if I could stay. Gibson has never left my side, and I wasn't going to start now. I asked if I could stay and be there for the surgery and the wonderful folks at Cambridge Valley Vet said I could."

Didn't she just leave him for the day and take her puppy somewhere?

Oh the lies...
