Their cat is very laid back. She appeared at their doorstep just before Christmas 2 years ago, it was freezing outside with snow. They think she was abandoned by someone so they took her in. She keeps an eye on the kids.

The dog is a German Shepherd. Nice dog but in need of some training, she is very protective of the family until she gets used to you being around.

The home came with a big Caterpillar front end loader. Comes in handy for clearing their long gravel driveway in the winter when it's covered deep in snow. What kid wouldn't want one in their yard?

The river runs through their property and my son has water rights to draw from it for irrigation. They own 16 acres.

They have 10 chickens and a rooster that crows at about 4 am since the sun comes up early this time of year. They eat a lot of eggs!

The kids all have chores, the oldest has to deal with the chickens and gathering eggs every morning. They help their mom in the kitchen.
