We Frenchies hope you all had a very pleasant Thanksgiving. Martha decided not to cook dinner at home this year. Instead, we went to New York City where we met up with Kevin and Alexis. We spent the whole day walking and sightseeing and visited many friends. It was fun and quite an adventure.

We Frenchies know it’s Thanksgiving when Martha’s turkey collection appears all around the house. Martha’s kind of crazy about Turkeys. It could be that she used to live on a street called Turkey Hill Road. But then again, maybe it’s just that she really likes Thanksgiving. In any event, we enjoy looking at all of …

In reality, Pepper finding her forever home isn’t an end at all — It’s a wonderful new beginning! Naturally, our parting pulled at my heart strings. I will …

Vivaldi the cat is one sly fellow. He is always doing things to get under our skin. Just the other day, I found him all sprawled out on top of a nice soft pile of our clothes. Martha keeps our dog wardrobe neatly folded in baskets in a room off the kitchen called the servery. …

Martha is always working so hard and Francesca and I were elated to find her home last Friday morning. It was such a beautiful day and she told us that we were going for a drive around the farm. We always like to hear that news so we found the Kawasaki and waited patiently while …

Who doesn’t love playing in a big pile of dry and fluffy leaves? It’s so much fun and I feel sorry for dogs who live where no leaves fall. Sharkey and I discovered some really big piles the other day and jumped right in. One thing’s for sure – while playing, it’s really important to …

Regular readers of our blog know how much Francesca and I love to chase animals. Yesterday, we were out and about and I realized that we hadn’t seen the donkeys for a while. We located the paddock that they were in and I proceeded to have one yelping good time. As usual, Francesca stayed on …

A lot of things are changing at the farm along with the season. For example, I discovered a long line of shiny barrels in the carport and I just had to know what they were for. I finally got Francesca interested in having a look and of course, we wanted to get in on the …

Many of you have heard that Sharkey and I got a little carried away last week with a particular critter on the farm. Martha was away all day in New York, doing her TV show, going to meetings, and also attended the fancy gala for the Martha Stewart Center for Living at Mount Sinai. …
