Besides going out with Mom
Helping Dad change the water
I have a really big job!
It’s to keep the farm safe!
I have much to do—those crazy raccoons are so brave they walk RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY DOG HOUSE! I know because they always leave a little poop behind.
That’s why I’ve taken to sleeping outside…MY CHOICE!
Mom brings me inside, but … well, you know … there are critters outside!
I chase off the
- raccoons…they run zipping and playing, with me right behind them
- I protect the corn!
- Chase the fox—he is pretty fun to chase
- Make the squirrels scatter
- Go for walks with Mom
The deer have been pretty hard on the corn.
You see they eat the silk…
the silk is what feeds the little kernels of corn so they will fatten up and become
BIG FAT JUICY KERNELS of corn
It’s been pretty hard work this year, but so far I’ve been able to do it.
I am feeling well again.
Mom says that is a very good thing!
I agree!

So great to see you back at your farm work with enthusiasm, B. We love seeing you doing chores. Be careful what you eat out there, though. Mom and I didn’t even know the silk feeds the corn kernels. We just thought it was an annoying time waster when we want to butter and eat our corn. #wearetheoppositeoffarmers
Love and licks,
