Summer is the one season I don’t enjoy having an outhouse. You’d think it would be winter, but you can make a winter outhouse comfortable (blue board as a seat, for one). There’s no being comfortable in an outhouse swarming with mosquitoes and getting bit on a bare […]

Every husky we’ve had out here has gotten quilled at least once. Ronan especially hates them. I’ve had to pull quills out of him twelve times! Since I’m now an unwilling expert at this, I thought I’d write out a few tips in case anyone […]

He’s an adorable little scamp, I can see why people are loving him  😉 But that brings up something I’ve received quite a few questions about. Why huskies? They are well known for being high […]

I love having puppies around, but this will be our last litter for a while. Puppies take up a lot of space inside a tiny home. Luckily, some of them even have homes waiting for them already! I’ve helped with whelping with quite a […]

We spent too much on things we didn’t need. Then we turned around and didn’t buy things we really should have. We skipped around when adding animals, buildings, and tools. That is, until we […]

Our dog, Link, killed 15 of our birds the first time he was ever trusted alone around them. Now he is left alone with them regularly and hasn’t touched one since. How did we manage […]

As anyone following our adventures here or on Facebook knows, I was in a 4 wheeler wreck not too long ago. I immediately went to the ER and checked […]
