thinking...

I think I need to come up with a name for my backyard.  Chris is referring to it as the Zoo...

I would like to think of something cute and make a sign, but am having trouble with ideas.  The best thing I have is My Backyard Haven...but I don't like it.  Doesn't have the right ring to it. hmmmm.

Also been trying to name the bunnies so far we have: Smokey, Trixie, Speckles, Hershey, Q-Tip, and Ace.  Thinking about Hermie and Sunny for the other two.  Need to name the kitty---or just call her kitty. I don't know if I am going to name her or not.  I probably won't name the ducks or any of the chickens-there are just too many of them. lol.

I can't explain my need/want for animals.  I just love them to pieces.  I love the expressions on my kids' faces when they see them and I can just imagine what is going through their little heads.  When I was growing up we always had cows and dogs.  When I was really little mom and dad had pigs but they sold out in the mid-90's when the market bottomed out.  I would like to have some fresh pork, but I don't have a pen right now and the market is really good for hogs.  I would also like to have a goat or two...and a llama-just because lol.  Today they sold a 1 year old pony at the salebarn and he only brought $75!  Oh man I wish the kids were a bit older...they could have had a pony!  Every little kid wants a pony--we would have been the most awesome parents in the world, well maybe kinda cool at least. lol.  Every family has a dog or a cat-and don't get me wrong I love dogs and cats, but my kids will know what a responsibilty is and will know how to take care of animals.  I think raising chickens, rabbits, (and now ducks) will teach my kids something that I alone can't teach them.  It is good to know things. 

I think if the economy keeps going the way it is going people will start looking for local things even more than they do now.  I would love if I was able to provide people of our community with food and supplies.

oooh maybe Highway H Critters... or DeHart Critters or Backyard Critters.... or Erin's Backyard Critters...I think I like that- Erin's Backyard Critters  but who knows I may change it!

 I don't really think this blog post is making much sense though...probably has something to do with the pain killer I took earlier for my tooth.  Guess I will go to bed and let the meds do their thing. lol
