For a chewing puppy

August 4, 2022dog, Stellasusanmanzke

This video shows Stella chewing on a frozen washcloth.

All the other things on the floor are dog toys. Stella chews on those things, too.

Using the frozen washcloth is a simple, inexpensive way to help your puppy through teething.

Chewing on a frozen washcloth is good for a puppy. It soothes her gums.

At least when she’s chewing on the frozen washcloth, Stella’s not chewing on something that is inappropriate, like my hand.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Doggie day-care

July 22, 2022Stellasusanmanzke

I slipped Stella’s leash over a post so I could let the chickens out of their roost.

Stella would have me at her side constantly. I just wish I understood all her doggie-talk. Sometimes we don’t connect.

I think she wants food. She wants out. I think she wants out and she wants food. All the rest of the time she wants the house cats or these chickens.

When I am mistaken, I usually have a puddle to mop up.

Cat on the rampage

July 21, 2022Barn-E, Car-E, Stellasusanmanzke

I was so frazzled that I called Barn-E the wrong name in this video. It wasn’t Car-E trying to tear apart my computer wires, it was Barn-E. It’s easy to mix up their names. They are all troublemakers.

Today all my house pets are trying to drive me crazy with Barn-E as their leader.

I can’t turn around without one or the other getting into trouble.

It’s for sure they are working together. It’s like they want me to tear my hair out.

Don’t they know I’m the one who brings them food, water, and toys?

I think not, because Stella just ran off with my kitchen towel. She expects me to chase her. I don’t think I have the strength right now.

I think I’ll take a nap, but I’ll have to keep one eye open, just in case. Who knows? They might mount an offensive.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Stella and the three hens

July 19, 2022Chickens, Stellasusanmanzke

My puppy always is very interested in the chickens when they walk across the yard.

Most times she barks a lot at them.

Today they were closer than usual.

If Stella ever charges those birds when I am holding her, I sure hope I have a good grip on her leash. Because if she got hold of one she would think it was squeaky toys for sure.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
