Our Farm Life is "All Creatures Great and Small"

Well, perhaps not so flashy and without cows (and arms stuck up cows' bums).
So, "10 Reasons of Life is Like 'All Creatures Great and Small'"
  1. We are tied to it 24/7/365 and that is fine by us. "Perfectly sufficient, Siegfried"
  2. We are learning new veterinary skills all the time (for example, our goats do not like paste lumps of herbal wormer - but they will swallow liquids easily)... what do you do with lumps of leftover wormer? Hmm.
  3. If it is possible, all animals will escape right within your sight - brazen buggers scaling the braces for the corner post.
  4. Siegfried is right - Kidding time is the best season of the year.
  5. Everyone cares for animals, at least a little.
  6. We are all potential "Mrs. Pomphrey"s with an overly loved Tricky Wu.
  7. We have buried our animals in a place we can visit.
  8. Animals are often the main topic of conversation at the table.
  9. We love them, we eat them, we respect them.
  10. We have a wonderful view from the pastures to put it all in perspective.
We just don't get all the sausages for breakfast yet.
