My Birthday today!!

My birthday is today and I am 76 years old!!!!!!!  I never thought I would get this old!!!  The pictures of me are from 5 years old to almost 76.  The last picture was taken just a month ago when my friend came over for a play date with her dog a Greyhound.  From the pictures you can tell I love love love dogs!!!!  They are a very big part of my 76 years on this world.

Sweet Zoie & Strawberries

Can you believe in the cold weather we are still eating strawberries from our garden everyday!!! We planted (well Tom did most of it) over 200 strawberries in the ground a few weeks ago and one already has a bloom on it!! We kept a few in their pots so we would keep right on getting berries and in case something happened to the ones in the ground!!  The ones in the ground have taken their transplant great and are all doing wonderful!!  The ones in the pots are still giving berries for us .  Some days it is only one big berry some days we have 2 or 4 !!!
The first picture of Zoie is her beside me every morning while I am on the computer!!!  Yesterday I was making soup and while I was busy in the kitchen she was busy tearing up my walking boot!!! The left one!!  She is still a big big PUPPY!!!!!

Happy

Happy went to the vets yesterday and she had blood work done.  This 19 to 21 year old cat has nothing wrong with her kidney's , nothing wrong with her liver!!! She has nothing wrong with her heart and  lungs either!!!!   Bless her healthy heart she just has ARTHRITIS   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy is getting alone pretty well with Zoie most of the time !!  The only time we have problems is when Zoie is being too puppy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Love coming your way,  Happy Zoie & Fern

RACCOONS

For those of you that have followed my blog for a couple of years knows I have feed the coons out of self defense for years and years!!!  Money is very tight for us now and we just don't have enough to feed the coons and a big dog so I made a deal with the money maker in this family,  TOM that I would stop feeding them food that we had to buy!!!!  POOR coons!!!!  Some have been coming for years!!!  So now that we are eating very healthy and buying organic food from mostly the farmer that grows it I have lots of tops--- lots of greens that I would throw out to the compost bin.  So I thought I'll cook those greens and potato skins and such as that and add a little rice and make them a little stew.  So now I know you all will think I am crazy and I probably am but that is what I am doing so that the coons still have something good to eat and it is probably better for them than dog food anyway!!!  I know I am doing something that I don't have to do!!!!  But I have grown to care a great deal for these wild animals and I know they depend on me to feed them SO I am !!!!!
Zoie wants to get too them but of course she can't!!!   Bambi in her first years here wanted to get to them too!!!   Amanda wanted to two!!!! They both got use to the coons after years of seeing them!!!!
