Changes to our Stone Wall

Posted by F&S

You may know that sitting on the stone wall overlooking the farm is one of our favorite vantage points.  The view is great and it’s fun watching the world go by.  We, Frenchies, were out there basking the other day when we discovered that our stone wall was getting a beautification treatment.

Francesca's Eye Problem Update

Francesca's Eye Problem Update

Posted by Sharkey

On yesterday’s blog, Francesca revealed that she is having an eye problem.  After a few different visits to the vet, we think we are on the right track for healing, what appears to be, a rather serious corneal ulcer.  We are all watching this thing like a hawk to make sure it’s not a progressive …

I must have done something to irritate my eye because it’s all sore and runny.  The doctor gave me some eye drops, but they don’t seem to be helping the situation.  I think I need a different medication.

Can Dogs Get Sunburned?

Can Dogs Get Sunburned?

Posted by F&S

Martha really takes care of her skin and one thing she always does is protect it from the harmful rays of the sun.  We, Frenchies, with fur covering our skin, are somewhat better protected than humans but, we can also get sunburned from overexposure.  We don’t worry too much about G.K. because he has that …

Fixing Poor Drainage at the Farm

We, Frenchies, heard the hum of heavy machinery coming from somewhere on the farm and, of course, we went to investigate.  It’s always fascinating to see how problems can get fixed and sometimes, it really helps to bring in those machines!

It’s amazing how fast the gardens are growing now that the days are longer and the temperatures warmer.  We Frenchies think that if one stands still for a long enough period of time, one could actually see the plants grow.  Of course, who has patience for that when there are so many other things to …
