The dogs have pretty much taken over our lives! Because of this I've decided to throw the farm idea out the window. Goats would take for ever to pay off and we don't like goat milk. Yes, it is fun to dream of being Laura on Little House but I know better than that. Or should. Goats kick the milk bucket. You can't go anywhere because you have to milk twice a day. I love to travel and am not willing to give that up. Yes, you can arrange for helpers, but it's not worth it! I don't need or want bees either. Sounds charming and sweet, but costs tons and lots of newbies loose their bees every winter. I can buy a year's supply of honey for a fraction of the cost of getting a hive and for hours and hours less time. Organic and all that jazz is great, but we will have to settle for sanity and organic produce. Chickens are fairly low maintenance and high yield, but not this year. Not until we have plenty of money for a good fence.
The dogs are about to drive us crazy! Everyday I have to will myself not to take them to the pound. They are dear, sweet dogs and are improving, but still they have taken a much bigger slice of the pie than I had anticipated. I just can't do everything only the most important. People are more important than dogs, so is sanity and peace and quiet!
