Random Moments

This is our new lab pup Dewie. He is a great boy and lots of fun to have around. He comes out each day as I do my chores and he likes to nap in my chair.

Trixie watching a cat in the back field. Spring is definitely here and its been great out this week. The snow is gone....and will hopefully stay gone....the horses are shedding and its been great weather to be outside.

Royal now. Bigger and just as beautiful. She is a lovely girl.

Breyer having a nap in the hay with Ebony and Kiwi. Ebony is due to foal next week, so will keep everyone posted when all the babies start arriving (5 this year).

This photo is from a couple weeks ago with all the snow, but it shows all the big bellies of the pregnant mares. They are all doing well. Breeze is the first one due, on April 16th.

Cujo's Couch

What a tired little boy! Having a snooze on his own personal couch after a busy few days.

Ha, ha, his personal couch is just his size and he recieved it as a christmas present. He loves his couch.

Snow Dogs!

Cujo had lots of fun playing in the snow over the Christmas holidays :) He likes to run through the snow and eat snow flakes. But the poor little fella gets cold very very easily and usually only plays outside for about 10 minutes before he wants to come in to the nice warm house!

Jumping through the snow!

"What should I do next?"

This ol' girl is Sasha. She is a husky/german shepherd and she is well suited to the snow! In her younger days (she will be 14 years old in 2009) she loved to race through the snow. Now she meanders around a bit, watches the little fella and comes inside to have a long nap in a cozy bed.

Merry Christmas To All!!

Well all the animals out here have gotten into the christmas spirit!! Cujo the boston terrier looks very full of christmas joy in hit santa suit!

Hehehehe! Yes I torture him by making him wear festive costumes. Poor guy :)

What a cutie! I think here is is more confused as to why he is sitting on a kitchen chair rather than the santa suit.

Molly enjoys hanging out with her friends under the christmas tree. Her she is with Moocow...a lovely little cow that moooooos chirstmas songs and with Oinker a bashful little pig who oinks christmas carols. Molly does not sing any christmas carols. What a crew!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you from everyone, both human and non human, here at Acres of Grace !!

Cujo Visits Again!

Cujo came back for another few visits to the farm. Actually other than this weekend he has come out every time we have gone out. I am trying to get him used to all the animals on the farm. Here he see's the chickens.....however I think he would like to be chasing them!

It was pretty cold out a few days ago so when Cuj came out he got to wear his new winter 'farm' coat. At home he ususally just wears a sweater coat when I walk him, however because of all the snow (it will come) and the cold wind he needed a much warmer and water resistant coat to be out at the farm.....Lucky dog!

That is actually Ace's toy ball but Cujo had lots of fun running around with it.

Fun times at the farm!

Cujo's Farm Adventures

Cujo came out to the farm to visit while we built the winter llama run in. He had so much fun. He was very busy and scooted all over the place. He was not sure about all the different animals though....he whined and barked at them and was too nervous of the horses to even get close enough for a picture.

He spent a lot of time looking at the goats. They were not fearful of him...maybe because of the horns?!?!?! and just stood there looking back at him. Once we had a breach in the fence and Cujo got out and went over to the goats....he waited until we we all up on the roof and could not get to him before he breached the fence....sneaky guy!!! He did not bark or do anything to them and we called him back and he came.

Kiwi and Ebony spotted the intruder as soon as we got close to the fields.....don't they just look like they are walking up with a purpose?!?

They were not too sure what to make of the little yappy thing...lol. They sniffed at him a bit which of course made him nervous so he barked louder. All this rukus brought the horses thundering up which sent Cujo scampering to hide under the truck.....he would not go near the horses, hence no pictures of Cujo with horses.

Kiwi was very intrigued but Cujo and would have liked to really sniff him well but Cujo was having none of that!

There was lots of space in the winter horse/llama field for Cujo to chase the ball to his hearts desire! He had a lot of fun racing around the fields. I am sure he is going to ask Santa Clause for a big back yard like this one!

After all the running around chasing toys, barking at all the animals and just following his nose Cujo needed to take a much deserved rest in the shade of the truck.

Doesn't he look so impressed!?! Of course after a long day at the farm its time for a bath! Normally he loves water but after his day at the farm he was so exhausted he just wanted to sleep! It is 10:10 am the next day as I write this and the little Cuj is still sounds asleep on my bed ;)

My Guy

Name: Cujo
Nicknames: The Cuj, Cujer, Little Guy, Buddy

Age: 7 years

Breed: Boston Terrier

Job: Mischevious Little Devil, Awesome Little Companion

In the posts below I have introduced both the farm itself and the animals that reside on it. I now would like to introduce my greatest little buddy ever, Cujo!

I have had Cujo since he was 9 weeks old. He just celebrated his 7th birthday in July. He is the funniest little guy ever. He always makes me laugh. He is gentle for the most part (but he does not like other male dogs) and is dominated by my two cats.

I've taken Cujo all over the place with me...from a spontaneous road trip to Montreal (several, several, several hours in the car) to obedience classes, the beach and the farm. He is not used to the farm because he did not grow up in a rural setting so he tends to get very excited and at times barks at the animals. I think he will be fine if I take him out there more to get used to them...its just that he is so little and the llamas are guardians who have a natural hate for the canine species that worries me a little.....

Cujo is a big suck and loves nothing more than sneaking up onto the bed for a rest or to play with his toys.....I guess he figures if the cats are allowed why not him?!?!

He loves to snuggle up in the blankets to keep nice and toasty warm. I often find him completely covered in blankets and if you don't look closely enough you would never know he was even in there!

Cujo adores water! Obsessed with it is more accurate. He cannot stand to bea near water without going for a swim. He is my little water dog. This surprised me actaully because he is so little I did not think he would like it and I thought he would get too cold. My parents have a big husky/german shepard dog and she hates water with a passion.....Cujo on the other hand adores it and loves his bath times!

Cujo's day at the Farm!

Meeting the big guys! Cujo enjoyed his time out in the courty with freedom but was a little unsure of these GIANT animals that kept coming over to see him...

King of the hay!!!
ah the life of a farm dog...car rides, fields, birds...FREEDOM!
