Stories from someone just fumbling through
It's been a few weeks so I should update you on the goings on in my world. First, let's start with a little Tuna love, shall we... Petunia is the best companion I could ever ask for. This winter has been rough on both of us but her especially. Walks have been few and far… Continue reading Recent Happenings
Saturday was my last day of work and let me tell you, the weather gods were shining on me, FINALLY! It was the first nice day outside that I'd ever experienced working on the farm. Oh the irony! The last few days before that were cold and rainy. One day it was so bad that… Continue reading Peacefully at rest
Yesterday, I finished my last full week of work as the Assistant Animal Caregiver at the sanctuary. The first few days had me second guessing myself but after the third day I couldn't sleep at night because the body aches were so bad. Once again, thank you Aleve. I know for certain that I'm making… Continue reading A Productive Wait
Well, I'm looking for an eloquent way to say this but the only thing that really sums it all up is to say that this week really shit the bed. I'm not particularly impressed by my potty mouth but that expression is spot on. I can't say that it was a terrible week, but it… Continue reading Quitting with class
Greetings from the snowy depths of Connelly, New York! These back-to-back winter storms picked the perfect time to pummel us: my two days off! That suits me just fine since there's nothing I hate more than driving in bad weather. I did however get the most awesome tires put on my car a few days… Continue reading My cat-like reflexes vs. the sheep from hell.
Today is the equivalent of my Saturday. There's soooo much I should be doing: getting new tires, going to the grocery store, etc...but yuck! I'd easily hire someone to do these things for me, especially in this cold. I also need to take photos of me modelling Ling Ling's scarves and post them on my… Continue reading Thank goodness for days off!
Welcome to the freezing arctic tundra of New York! Good gracious, it's cold! It's been a little while since I checked in but I have a decent excuse...I hope. I've actually been itching to write every day for the last few weeks but I wanted to overhaul my blog before I went ahead and posted… Continue reading My life on the farm
Today was the first day at my new job. You are reading the blog of Catskill Animal Sanctuary's newest animal caregiver. The job entails animal husbandry three days a week and performing animal health checks the other two days. Yes, I finally get to revisit my veterinary technology roots! I'm rusty at the medical stuff,… Continue reading My first day on the farm
You can find me grazing about with the rest of the creatures this weekend at the Saugerties Farmers Markets' annual Farm Animal Day. Last year was nuts (in a good way) so don't miss it! I will have my regular sales going on (except I'm almost out of my $2.00 One Delicious Buzz soaps) plus… Continue reading Among the rest of the animals
