Hi there! 👋🏻 We live on a 1-acre farm right in the middle of the busy city of Phoenix, Arizona! Our names are Kevin & DaNelle, and we moved here in 2009, when our kids Ethan & Lydia were just 6 & 4 years old 🥰 Over the years we've raised goats for milk, chickens for eggs, built a fish/swim pond, planted fruit & nut trees, and grew a large garden full of veggies. We've also raised a bunch of other animals like pigs, sheep, turkeys, geese, peacocks, and more!
Now that our kids are away at college, we have settled into doing what we love most -- which is raising & breeding goats ethically to improve genetics. But don't worry, we'll forever love our goofy pet goats like Luna the herd queen & Willow the stump lover. We also still love raising chickens for eggs, gardening, tending to the fruit & nut trees, and growing fish in the pond. We use the fresh goat's milk to make cheese, butter, yogurt -- and we use that + everything else we harvest on our little farm to make delicious meals. Having a getaway from the busy world right in our backyard brings so much joy to us each day, and we hope it brings some to you, too. 🥰

The combination of 😂 the period panties and the hoeing ain't easy shirt is absolutely perfect 😂😂😂😂😂!! Lydia is doing amazing with the clicker her timing is perfect you want him to hear the command, do it and get acknowledged for it and that takes a moment keep it up and he'll be so sharply trained... I've also wondered how the coyote problem has been I mean you haven't posted anything so one could assume that because the dogs scent is all over the coyote is like " nah I'm good"

"Period panties" for dogs... 😂 Geeez u brought back some wild memories. My cousin left his dog with us for a couple months while he was out of town. He did NOT warn me she was not fixed. Surprise!!! That sent me searching for a way to stop her from dripping on my white tile...which ended with me sending a picture of his Rhodesian Ridgeback wearing "a black leather thong (his words)" to him...it was the only thing they had that would fit her size. 🤣🤣

When it comes to leash training I recommend trying a head harness! There’s a brand called ‘Gentle leader’ and it works WONDERS!! it takes the dog a bit getting used to but it helps so much. We have a German shepherd husky mix, and she could not walk in a leash at all. Our vet recommended a gentle leader and it’s like MAGIC within 20 minutes she wasn’t pulling!

@sarahberry4427 10 ай бұрын

Omg I should have seen this when I got my husky, whenever we first put her on a leash she would just lay down and not walk.

Hi folks, Glad to see Luna doing well. Bucks will live together without fighting if they were born and grew up together. One will always be the dominant one though.I bet if Lydia started her own channel, it would make enough to pay for her college.She has such a cute personality, I don't think it would matter what topics she did on it, people would watch (:

I wonder if Casper would respond well to adding hand signals with the sit and down commands. He seems to “down” when Lydia steps back and “sit” when she steps forward. Thus he seems to be responding to visual cues rather than verbal ones. At least in the two minutes we watched Lydia train him.

Voice commands with dogs only go so far. Pairing a hand gesture with the command works best since dogs are visual learners. My frenchie, despite being lovably dumb as rocks, has gotten to a point where I just flash him the hand signal for “sit” or “down” and he does it without a vocal prompt.
