Better Late Than Never

Posted by Sharkey

If you read Martha’s blog, then you know that she was home one day, a couple of weeks ago, partaking in a photo shoot for her magazine, Martha Stewart Living.  I was going through our blog photos and I realized that Franny and I forgot to post about that day.  So, here it is – …

Let Them Eat Cake, or Not

Let Them Eat Cake, or Not

Posted by Francesca

One day last week, when Martha was at home, she gathered all of the grounds crew after their lunch to celebrate Fernando’s birthday.  She served them, what looked to be, a really great cake.  Cake seems to be a weakness for Sharkey and she acted very badly.

The other day, Laura Acuna, the housekeeper, needed to go to the store, so we piled into the car and drove her there.  However, the car was running low on gas and we had to pull into a gas station along the way.  Check this out!

G.K. Goes Apple Picking

G.K. Goes Apple Picking

Posted by Ghenghis Khan

If you’ve been reading Martha’s blog, then you know that it’s been an amazing season for apples here at the farm.  All the animals who eat apples are certainly getting their fill.  And there are all sorts of great smelling apple desserts being made in the kitchen.  Martha wanted apples delivered to the TV studio …

Advice From Meindert, the Horse

Posted by Sharkey

As you know, I have been feeling quite dejected about making friends at the farm.  It seems that no one, except Francesca and G.K. and the horses want to be with me.  I decided to trot down to the stable and have a word with Meindert.  He is always such a sage and I feel …

Franny and I noticed that Martha was posting a blog about one of our favorite hiking places in Maine – Jordan Pond.  We suddenly remembered that we, too, had another blog from Jordan Pond to share with you from the last time we were in Maine.

Relaxing on Cobblestones

Relaxing on Cobblestones

Posted by Francesca

I was down at the stable the other day when I got a little sleepy.  The cobblestones lining the courtyard were so warm from the sun that I decided to lie down and take a little rest.  It felt so, so good, but my mind was on cobblestones.

Hiking Again at Jordan Pond

Hiking Again at Jordan Pond

Do you remember yesterday’s blog when I was reading on the plane going to Maine?  What was Sharkey doing?  Sleeping, of course.  You might wonder what I found so captivating.  Well, I was boning (ha-ha) up on facts about Acadia National Forest and I discovered some interesting things about Jordan Pond.  Take a look!

Another Trip to Maine

Another Trip to Maine

Posted by Francesca

This past weekend, we travelled to Maine once again with Martha.  Martha told Sharkey and me that we were going there for a special TV shoot, which we were to be a part of.  We Frenchies were given baths and GK even had to go to the groomer.  This is the first part of our …

Sharkey Gets Turned Down Again

Sharkey Gets Turned Down Again

Posted by Francesca

I don’t know what the deal is with Sharkey.  She’s always trying to make friends with the cats.  I keep telling her that it just won’t happen, but she persists anyway.  Why would anyone want so much rejection?
