With the arrival of spring, there are so many chores to do around the farm. You probably know by now that Martha likes to blanket the farm with burlap to protect things from the wind and cold. Sharkey and I like to help out by removing the burlap from the boxwood hedges. Come and see …
As you know, we Frenchies, really love our couture. However, nothing beats going outdoors with just our birthday suits and feeling that warm sun on our furry backs.
