Dakota and her sister Pinot

Dakota got to spend the whole last week with her sister Pinot. We kept Pinot for the breeders (our friends) Don & Joan while they traveled to Denmark. The girls had such a good time. Today Dakota took out her frustrations, of not having her sister to play with, on my fig tree. Dakota is now 11 weeks old and doing great. She is laying with me right now while I type this with her head on my arm:) Check out the pictures below of Pinot and Dakota. They are getting big!

Dakota is the lighter one and Pinot the darker one.



Had to snap this picture of Zoey and Cloey laying on the couch - they looked like a heart

A soggy doggy dog week & weekend

Well this Saturday started early with a full house of boarders and all of our critters. I believe 6:30 AM is when the pup awoke. Which is really good! So time for the feeding to begin. It was pouring buckets full of rain down too. So potty in the rain and in for feeding time. Most of the dogs really didn't seem to mind the rain. They probably found joy in getting muddy paws to track in the house:)It was a good day to catch up on paper work, make cookies with the kids (compliments of Winston's parents) & hang out with the pooches. The afternoon brought doggie naps after playing. Sienna, Bailey & Dakota were all snoozing in the kitchen scattered about like the fall leaves. Milo was sitting by my feet & Dublin resting near by. After dinner I spent my Saturday night with my furry friends. Jada took this picture of me hanging out with some of the gang. Dakota is sleeping on the left then I am holding Dublin while Milo and Bailey stop by for some lovin.



Here is a picture of Winston (airedale) & Benson (black lab mix) meeting Dakota through the play pen. Another soggy day that was but the boys enjoyed every minute.


Andy & Dakota working on clicker training. Dakota is doing really well with the "sit" command.



Dakota & Gracie play. Gracie very good with the little one.



Dakota found a BIG warm lab to cuddle with. I would not have picked that end of him though:)

Here she finds Max again...Max is thinking "hey I don't remember signing up for this babysitter thing":)


Jada, Dakota, Sienna, Milo & Bailey



A Happy Dakota!

The Pets Of Landis Family Farm

Well I have not officially introduced all my furry and feathered kids yet so I need to get to it.
You may have caught pictures of them in previous blogs but now a time dedicated to them.

Aspen our Old Man - He is a 14 yr old Husky and the sweetest dog ever! He found me when I was in college at Shippensburg. He was a stray and ended up staying and has been with me for about 12 yrs.


Daisy is our Queen - She is a beagle spaniel mix adopted from the SPCA at the age of 8. She is now 12 yrs - Favorite past time is to hunt for vermit and bark at squirrels and bunnies


Max is our youngest at the age of 10 yrs. He was also adopted at the SPCA at the age of 3. He is a Fox Red Yellow Lab. He wants to be with you all the time and will eat anything in sight that he can get to.



Tiger is our alpha animal of the house. He is also our cuddle buddy and the only pet that sleeps in our bed. He has a friend Little Black (a little black cat) but she is quick and sly and I do not have a good picture to post right now.



Houdini is my Muscovy Duck - He is 3 yrs old and full of spunk. He does not like dogs and will peck the heck out of them if he gets the chance. He has battle wounds from going after Max. Houdini thinks he is a dog and follows me around. He will use the doggie door if he gets a chance.


Parrot is my favorite little rooster. He is named parrot because he was always squawking as a chick. He will sit on my shoulder and likes me to hold him. He will however go after the kids if I do not round him up he figures they are fair game. He is a BB Red OEG (Black Breasted Red Old English Game Bantam) and 3 years old.
Zorra is Parrot's mate. She is also 3 yrs and a OEG bantam hen. She is a wonderful mother to her chicks. She is the size of a pigeon.

Skunk is my Jersey Giant Rooster and he is 3 yrs old. He is a big boy but so gentle. He is a good rooster and protects his girls and finds them treats.

Love Heart (Barred -Black and white) is 2 yrs and one of Skunks girls. Lucy (black) is 1 yr and one of the girls.

Well there are a few more birds too. Stop by and see everyone sometime.

Kids at Camp

Jada attended Horse camp at Saddlebrook Stables in Schwenksville. She loved it! They rode, took care of the horses and played at the farm getting wet, dirty, tired and sore. A successful week. Pictures: Jada leading Investor out to the ring and Jada riding the sitting trot around the ring.


















Drew attended DINOSAUR Camp at Penn View. He loved it and they ended the week with a dinosaur parade. Picture of Drew in his dinosaur outfit.
