Meet Francesca
I entered this world on December 13, 2004, in Pinewood, Minnesota. I’m a bit older and certainly far wiser than Sharkey. Like Sharkey, I’m also friendly and quite curious, but I’m more cautious about letting my curiosity get me into trouble. I must admit that we do have fun together. I just know when to stop. Martha describes me as being a bit obsequious, but that’s just my ability to pull the wool over her eyes. I’m just clever! I do have a high opinion about myself, and my fashion sense is magnifique! In fact, Je suis fabuleuse (I am fabulous.)

We’ve been doing a lot of traveling lately visiting our homes in Maine and in East Hampton. We love going places, but we’ve been away from the farm a lot and Sharkey and I felt that we needed to conduct a farm inspection.

I’m sure you all know how much dogs and cats like to sleep, but have you ever noticed where? I thought I’d put together a little study on how and where we on the farm like catch our Z’s!

On Friday, I blogged about how I drove the Kawasaki around the farm checking on all of the sprinklers watering the gardens. After my inspection, I continued my drive when I spotted something quite large lurking in a tree. I was rather surprised by what I found.

Despite the hot weather, I’ve been feeling quite energetic these days. Of course, I’ve been drinking a lot of water to keep myself hydrated, which got me thinking about all of the plants out in the gardens and wondered if they were getting enough water?

One day, while we were out with Uncle Carlos and Laura Acuna, Carlos decided that he was in the mood for pizza. After driving for a bit, he settled on Bambino’s Pizza. Who doesn’t love the aroma of pizza in the oven?

While we were in Maine, we took a little drive to Bar Harbor, that quaint and famous summer community on Mount Desert Island. There are so many fun stores to window shop and plenty of good aromas coming from all of the restaurants. And because it is a harbor, there is much to see on …

Sharkey and I went to visit our friends, the donks, and we found them running around in their paddock. We got to wondering who ran faster, donkeys or Frenchies? What we didn’t expect was that Billie, the spotted one, was so full of facts.

Well, it’s been quite a long ordeal, but I finally had that blasted button removed and my eye is now wide open and all healed. I was taken to the veterinarian last Friday, but a small and unexpected problem was encountered. I just hope I never get another corneal ulcer!
