Life is good

We really are alive, despite limited cell phone service (one teensy little bar that allows for text messaging, at best) and no internet access (except the library or when I'm at work).
Life on SherDen Farm is wonderful!  I love all the animals and the peace and quiet.  The sunrises are to die for, the garden produce is delicious, and the company is accomodating and gracious.  It's all good!

We had a bit of a rough start at the farm -our frenchie attacked a kitten (in all fairness, the kitten WAS teasing her...) and in my gallant efforts to get the kitten out of her mouth, I, myself, became kitten and my poor fingers got crunched.  Luckily, Sherry was outside at the time and ran in to get Skott who came running out and had to use pressure points to get Izzy to release her jaw off my fingers.  For a dog with very little teeth, she managed to go all the way through my finger with her back nubs, plus the skin on top of my finger was all cut and ripped.  One trip to the ER, a $1,000+ medical bill, 3 trips to the vet (located 45 minutes away), an awful antibiotic reaction, and two weeks later, I am mostly all healed.  Poor Izzy -she has a prey drive that has landed her in two more scraps with cats...  This last time the cat got her pretty good and the last few times she has seen said cat, she hasn't tried to chase him anymore.

We are still hitting the job market with a few leads here and there.  Keeping fingers crossed!  My job at the hotel has been really hard lately as far as mean people go.  I'm ready for a biology job.  So ready.

Sorry I dont have any pictures to post.  I wish I did.  It is so pretty out here.
Hope all is well with everyone.  I apologize for my lack of contact, but know that we love you all !
