It Takes a Village to Raise a Farm

Our next human family member is due in a few months so we had to dive right into getting the farm ready.  The only way I can manage a farm and family is by having a streamlined routine everyday.  This means proper fencing, safe housing, and an efficient barn/feeding routine.  We had none of these things when we moved in.

When we moved in, our barn roof leaked, the fencing was ancient, there was no dog yard, and of course no routine.  Fortunately, our “village” of friends offered to lend a hand.  We are lucky enough to have friends and family that have trucks, ladders, tractors, experience, and most importantly, the willingness to help us!

We bought a Farm . . . a real one!

Some of you may not realize where our name, The Tucker Farm, came from. For the last 8 years we lived on 3/4 of an acre in a suburban town called Tucker. I crammed as many animals as I could onto that tiny lot!

After becoming pregnant with our second child we knew it was time to move to a REAL farm! I imagine you are picturing a pristine pasture full of flowers wrapped in a perfect fence. That’s not quite what we bought, but I know we will get there!

Moving Day!

Settling in . . .

Foster Dogs

Help Hendrix find a Home!

If you are familiar with our former foster pup Billie, then you can sympathize with Hendrix. He has suffered a great deal in his short life. As you can tell, he had very severe demodex mange as well as secondary skin infections when he was found by animal control.

He was rescued by Animal Action Rescue (Atlanta, GA) just one day before he was set to be euthanized. A week later the poor guy broke with Parvovirus and had to fight for his life. He stayed in ICU for a full week but thankfully made it through. Since then his foster home has gotten his mange under control and his hair is growing back!  Hendrix is your typical loving Pit Bull; loves to snuggle, chase bugs and go for walks.  Please consider making Hendrix a part of your family!  Contact Animal Action Rescue for more information on Hendrix.
