TWO NEW ANIMALS AT MILEHAUS FARM

(Click on photos to enlarge.)


Dennis & I have talked about getting 2 horses since we first moved here full time 5 years ago. Dennis spent 4 years on the Mounted Squad during his policing career so is very comfortable around horses. I have always dreamed of one day owning my own horse but wasn't sure whether at 'fifty-something' I was too old to restart horse back riding. Now that we have had the horses for a short time, I wonder why we ever waited so long! We are having great fun riding through the miles of trails here in 100 Mile House.

THE CAT CAME BACK.....

We have spent a lot of time away from the farm this summer. Between a number of trips to pick up or drop off animals and then numerous trips to Vancouver to visit with my 88 year old father who is terminally ill, the summer has been incredibly busy. Thank goodness for a wonderful farm/dog sitter who comes to stay at our house.

When we returned from our last trip away, Remi (one of our two barn cats) was no where to be found. For 5 days were called for her and left food out but no sign of her. I was so sad as she is a really nice cat with a very loving temperament. Well didn't we get a surprise when she turned up two days ago looking fit and happy. Now that I know she is alive and well, I will post a couple of pictures of her that I had taken just before she went missing.

It is good to be back.....

ON THE ROAD.....

WillowGarden Killimanjaro

We are on the way to Olds Alberta (12 hours driving time from 100 Mile House BC) to pick up our sheep from WillowGarden that will be arriving sometime tomorrow. The sheep left Paris Ontario last Friday morning. Once we get back home and settled in, I will post some pictures. The above photo is WillowGarden Killimanjaro, an F1 Todhill Glayva son. He is a moorit yuglet flecket katmoget and will add some new genetics to our spotted lines.
