HEARTILY HOMESTEADING

Sad, Farm Life Can Be So Sad

Living on our little hobby farm has been very exciting and rewarding.  But there is a side to it that I would rather do without....  Today our dog "Rex" got out of our yard and chased several of our prize rabbits that were out for their morning meal (they do not go far from their barn, but they do like to explore a little and normally it's not a problem.   Rex never gets out of the yard and the few times he's out with us we never let him near the rabbits, but the timing was just not on the rabbits side.  Now I know of one at least that will have to be put down because of Rex getting a hold of it's backside.   I almost wish he had just killed her completely instead of just leaving her to suffer.  It's just an awful sight.  Rex was a dog we adopted from the local pound last summer.  He has been nothing but trouble.  I'm dealing with this while also trying to nurse a sick ewe, clear up pink eye (me!), organize our home and office, plan a quick getaway to CO to see my brother who is coming in from Iraq for 2 weeks, and there's umpteen other undone projects that need my attention. Just feeling very overwhelmed.  I'm going to go now and start counting my blessings if I say dwelling on all the negative I am never going to get anything done!!!!!

Oh how come timing is so horrible ALWAYS. I know God is trying to teach us how we can better serve him, but when you have 100 things to do something new always comes up
