Ruptured Disc

Littles likely ruptured a disc in his back.

The ER vet wanted to keep him overnight but I had to being him home.

Trying to keep him comfortable.

I'm not sure what will happen next.

It all depends on how he responds to the steroids.

I won't put him through back surgery.

Its so hard to see him like this.

Loudoun County Animal Services

I was told if I continued to use the LCAS logo I would be taken to court.

I'm guessing they don't want to highlight their complete failure to properly investigate animal cruelty of their discriminatory practices in not uniformly enforcing state code.

Talk about painting ones self into a corner...

Merlin for Sale?!

Merlin for sale in 3...2...1

Or 1 2 3 emotionally manipulated by me!

Which one is it?

Mayne she should write Cold Barn Antler Heart? 

Interesting response when someone asked how Jasper was. She couldn't give 2 shits.

I HOPE Merlin is sold...and soon.

That would be wonderful.

Fact check

When has Merlin been used for anything but joyrides?

Jenna has 2 trucks to take her to "market".

What market btw?

When has a hawk ever provided her a meal?

Her dogs are trained to herd sheep? That's news to me.

Her dogs herding sheep is akin to a Labrador retrieving a tennis ball.  They are working off instruct but there is no fine tuning or foundation.

Wake up!

It's 5:30am

My boyfriend is heading out to hunt in the rain with countless others around the US.

Farmers? They've likely been up for hours or just entering deep sleep from a late night.

Jenna, talk about what you know.

Men, hunting, and farming aren't your strong points.

Few men are into dogs?! Horses?!

"Jenna Woginrich For the record, TOTALLY okay with men being a part of this. For the most part, few men are into horses, hawks, dogs, hunting, and farming these days. But if you are do I have the deal for you@ "

Group effort!

Thanks for brilliant play on words Anon!

LOVE it!

Cost of engraving...$4.75 and a 3 hour turnaround. Can't beat it.

Lets sprinkle the world with trophies!

Off to deliver.

I'll see if I can't snap a picture and post it with the birthday boy.

Treasure!

Trash

Old trophies and spray paint?

I've got tricks up my sleeve.

It's my Coworker Hanks 25th birthday today.

He is a super talented baseball player (played in college).

I found old baseball trophies cleaning out the barn last week.

Operation resurrect trophy time!

Hank is the catcher and there was even a catcher trophy. I was going to sharpie happy birthday on it but it's cleaning up so well I might have a little plaque made.

Knitstant

Just an idea I want to come back to.

The Art of Begging and Manipulation 101

I think Jenna forgot to attend her own event?!

Yes, power outages are a certainty when the electric isn't paid.

She's teaching steps towards freedom from debt, fear, and uncertainty?!

2PM - 3PM - Prepping 101
Storms, power outages, and other events are a certainty. Be prepared without a tin foil hat. Resources, podcasts, basic steps towards personal freedom from debt, fear, and uncertainty.

My issues:

1. Neglecting her animals
2. Selling services she doesn't intend on delivering (stealing)
3. Constant emotional manipulation and encourage donations (lying)
4. Taking credit for what she did not create or work to sustain (fraud)...hell..."one woman farm"?! You have got to be kidding?!

Her woe was my post yesterday is right on schedule. Poor Jenna is probably hungry and freezing lets send her money...PayPal per usual?

I picture her like that old duck cartoon with the uncle that swims through his vault of gold coins.  ...or like the "homeless" person who at the end of the day walks up to the Lexus and gets in and drives off.

Jenna woginrich is disgusting.

I'm embarrassed for her.

Yak Shack

Today I emptied the contents of a small barn filling a 30 cubic yard dumpster.  I achieved a modest sized scrap metal pile and a very small "48 hour pile" (toss, keep, or donate).

The contents of this building were from a yard sale gone bad...or perhaps it simply never happened.  The barn was supposed to have been cleared before the new owners bought the property. It wasn't.

So I sorted through Christmas ornaments, rusty nails, bowling balls, mummified corpses of various unidentifiable animals, hangers, old clothes, books, children's toys and such.

Why you ask?

In preparation for the yaks of course.  That's right, yaks! The alpaca farm purchased to heifer yaks to arrive before Christmas.  Preparations have begun!

This was no small task, especially after dropping a box of rocks on the top of my left foot while sorting my trailer. Yes...I collect rocks. Its a heavy habit and I had to leave many in VA before moving the trailer to PA.

So yaks it is.

You can ride them, milk them, eat them, use their fiber...a very useful animal indeed!

I'm so thrilled to be a part of this exciting expansion of their farm and to have connected with such wonderful farmers.

Pickling Venison?

Any pickling recipes or meat pickling experience?

Enjoyed some pickled deer heart and Johnathons scheming how to pickle the rest.

Road kill deer. It was hit by a car driving in front of Johnathons cousin and immediately salvaged.

2 wheel drive

Overcoming the 10.5 year old 3 legged blues.

Some dogs pull their people...other dogs are pushed by theirs!

The Truth Behind Ayrshire Farm

https://www.facebook.com/ayrshirefarmabuse

Please sign the petition and share. The abuse and neglect are occurring on an USDA certified organic and certified humane farm. Loudoun County VA officials refuse to act.

This logo was created by a very generous woman who responded from this blog when I requested graphic design help!

I am so grateful or her time and talent.

This image will likely be refined but I am so pleased to have a graphic to go with the cause.

This touches even more close to home as the pig the graphic was modeled after was my heart pig.

Why I'm not a fan.

She's either gullible or sadistic.

Don't want entertainment or advice from either.

No Ohio farm girl for me.

No thanks.

Adopting an Abandoned Farm

http://www.amazon.com/Adopting-Abandoned-Farm-Kate-Sanborn/dp/1438512260

I stumbled across this book through a free book ap.  I loathe reading off my phone but was desperate for a good farming read. This was written in the late 1800s.

Thoroughly enjoying it!

Politician

Jenna Woginrich missed her calling.

Fundraising and lying...its what she's best at!

Tada!

Birthday basket

Please tell me I nailed an age appropriate 14 year old birthday gift. She loves hunting (camo realtree backpack) and flannel (shirt) but is a make up pro selfie queen (eye shadows)...complains about there never being junk food (chocolate covered popcorn and caramels) and was using her sisters head phones so I got them as well. Threw in a cute fall soap, face masks, and the "if you can dream it you can achieve it" painting.

Her dad (my bf) has NO clue about making a gal feel special through gift giving...he's just not a gift giver and her mom lives states away and I'm not sure if she even sent a card.

This is something my mom would do for me and made me feel SO special...I hope it makes her feel special too.

I need some positive reinforcement. I hope it's not too much or that she thinks its lame.

I used a tj maxx gift card that was given  to me and ran with it.

Email the Guardian

Have a problem with published lies?

Email the publisher, in this case the Guardian.

Its a shame lies take up the space of honest writers and real experiences.

Live like fiction? Then write fiction.

Why live a lie?

Littles and Jesse

I'm farm sitting and brought littles overnight.

Here he is with one of the dogs named Jessie.

There's another older lab named Sadie but she can't make it up the steep stairs to the guest bedroom.

Those are the "inside" dogs.

Izzie and Mavrick are Great Pyrenees livestock guarding dogs who live outside with the alpacas.

I wouldn't dare bring Cali or Sadie over. Terriers and LGDs wouldn't mix well.

Spiritual Awakening

Care to share you're experiences?

What led you to be a "better" person?

Letting go, how did you do it?

I have so much work to do!

Not letting go of fighting for the pigs at Ayrshire Farm, but working towards clarity and fighting with love and peace not rage and hate.

Love and peace influences...the other will not.

Curious

I've heated with wood stoves in the past and spent the summer cutting and splitting wood for a wood furnace (with my coworkers doing the cutting).

How many of you are able to collect wood that is the appropriate length to fit in a wood stove without any cutting or splitting?

I find it difficult to believe one can "collect" enough wood to heat their house. That would be a ton of branches and twigs if no chain saw or hand saw is involved in cutting logs to length.
