Today started off like any other day at the farm I was feeding and cleaning the chickens and quails when my friend Bob came to visit with his granddaughter Emmaline. Bob has been to the farm many times and helps out with things that need to be fixed but this was Emmaline's first visit. Emmaline had taken the time to read every post in my blog and was eager to meet the animals she had read about. I started her visit by taking them into the barn where Emmaline was able to meet all the goats she especially enjoyed meeting the babies and she even got to hold Isabella. She was very kind and gentle with the goats and even took the time to pet a few of the farm cats that hang around the barn. We then went outside and meet Bing the polish rooster and his three ladies as well as Motley and his flock of renegade chickens. We then went around the farm and collected the eggs from the egg boxes but Emmaline could not wait she wanted to meet the baby chickens and turkey. It was good timing on their part because today I was moving the babies into a larger cage and Emmaline was able to help me prepare their new cage as well as move the babies. Before Emmaline left she got to meet Missy the farms eighteen year old horse she even got to feed Missy some peanut butter and jelly sandwich they both were very happy. As we said good bye Emmaline told Bob and I that she wanted to be a veterinarian when she grew up and possibly a live stock vet it brought a big smile to my face I hope her dream comes true. Well I will be back at the farm again tomorrow so check back soon to see how the City Boy on the Farm is doing. The picture is Emmaline and I with the baby naked neck turkey.
