Traveling with pets!

Are you taking pets on your trip? We are too! We are traveling with one little dog, two guinea pigs and 2 parakeets so it will be a full truck 😀. 
We packed enough food for a week, plus many extra days for each animal. We sealed each type of food in a sandwich or gallon bag or kept it in there normal bag. But make sure the bags are sealed, it will prevent it from spilling and making a huge mess and it from becoming stale. 
For the dog, we packed her leash, toys (not pictured) treats and lots of food. Make sure you have the dogs collar on at all times and make sure you stop throughout the day and let them go to the bathroom. You can let them out with a leash on at each gas station and stop you take. 
Lucy is going to ride between me and my brother in the back seat. Over time she has become more comfortable in the truck and is able to sleep in the truck. If possible take your dog for rides when you can so they can get comfortable.
Pickles and Sppahire the parakeets are going to be riding at my brother's feet. We had to put then in the smaller cage. But we made sure we had enough room to put the food, water and a toy or two in there. 
Tea and Crumpets my guinea pigs are also going to be riding by my feet, they are staying in a smaller crate, with there water bottle, food, hay, pillows and a few chew toys. To keep them form panicking on the drive, make sure you don't play your music to loud, make sure the temperature is just right for them and make sure they are secure and there temporary home dosent shake around. Personally I pet them which makes them calm down a lot. 
Traveling with pets can be stressful, so make sure you have everything you need to make them feel comfortable.
Thanks for reading! Do you have any tips for traveling with pets?

Random projects!

I don't have any pictures to post right now, so I'll just tell you about some random projects we are doing!  Me and Scotty are thinking of names to name our chickens. He's thinking about some like "Chickn Licken Jr", " Drumstick" and " Wobbles". I really don't know what to name mine, but I'm thinking!  Our house is beautiful but it needs a bit of updating. We are replacing the toilets, sink spigot and spouts, painting the cabinets and replacing the handles, fixing lights and a ton more. It's all really fun work! I personally are getting used to windows with no screens. A lot of the bugs that fly inside don't bug me at all, I just shoo them into my brother's room 🤣 But it really isn't pleasant when your brother shoos the hugest moth in the world into your room and it starts to fly in your face as your trying to go to bed. But we got that situated and the moths went back outside.  Dad has been working hard in his barn and...

Around the farm

Not to much has happened this month, we have mainly just been getting ready for the winter ahead.  There was a pig running around our backyard a few days ago. We don't know how it got there or who's it was, it was just running around. We tried to get it into the pig pens, but it ran away. It was so cute and tiny! The ducks and chicken are all good, all the chicken are now laying. We get around 6-7 eggs every day! Scotty grew a full beard and wanted to show everyone.  It's almost Thanksgiving! Dose anyone have any plans?  Thanks for reading! 

Easter

On Easter we had a few of our friends over for dinner and an egg hunt. Since our yards are so big the parents hid 100 eggs for the kids and us kids hid about 50 for the parents beer hunt. We had a few golden eggs with prize baskets and a super big egg with a mystery surprise (5 cans of silly string).  And of course we hid them as hard as we could with the only rule of no burying them. Though im sure theres some more still out there, we keep finding them.😅 Happy Easter!
