Oh, what a day. Had a person break into my house (nothing was taken thankfully), then he ran over Bear, my puppy of 12 years. Police reports, vet visit. Unfortunately, the injuries were just too much for his age.

As we were dealing with bear's injuries. St Nicholas school arrived for their farm tour. I felt so bad that the kids had to see this at the front of the farm. A day that was supposed to be fun for them. But we still made it happen for them.

I can not thank Kelsey Pippin enough for yesterday. Just recently started working on the farm, and has been through so many emotions with us here.

Bear was born july Friday 13 , 2013, in a litter of 6 male pups. I still remember the ride home with him in the front seat of my Ford Flex. While I bought him as a family dog, he was so much more. When training him in the country to do dog sledding, I came across this farm and subsequently bought it. So, in a sense, fenek farms and this whole adventure are a result of him. He's been my greatest partner from day one in so many ups and downs in life.

At the farm, he was a great guard, shepherd, mushing dog.

Guests over the years saw him work the sheep. Come over to check visitors. Go on dogs led rides and more.
We retired him from work 3 years ago to live out his days as a good house dog and passed the torch to Chopin.

Bear was enjoying retired life getting scratches and pets from school kids. Many schools would find him relaxing in the shade. Kids would climb him and pet him. He absolutely loved it.

On hay rides, he tried to follow us, but his sore joints were slowing him down. So had to put a stop to it.

I am absolutely devastated and never wanted to see my puppy go this way. But I guess he was needed elsewhere. At least the kids got to see him one last time. Buried him with my jacket that he loved to sleep on, lest he get cold, and my pillow to rest his weary head.
Farming life, all sorts of strange ups and downs.

As the weather heats up, lots of people are getting the gardening itch. Heck we have it here as well (maddie and michael have taken over my house with plants).
We are selling compost again. As well as selling sheep's wool.
The compost is great for veggie and flower beds. Worked into the soil it will increase carbon content as well as increase N, P, and K that the plants require to grow and flower.
As for wool.
Nitrogen: It is a great way to introduce slow release nitrogen. This will boost what you compost did the soil and keep it going throughout the growing season.
Water: Wool will hold up to 20x its weight in water. This will significantly reduce that amount you need to water.
W**d and pests: slugs and many bugs have a real hard time getting through the wool. Thus that amount of pests and weeds will go down.
We sell bags at $5 each (large contractor bags). Depending on density of wool placed down, should cover about 100 square feet.
