Hmmm…time for some honesty…

Well as much as I love country livin and my neighbors, it's not always picture perfect.  Some of you all may remember a post a month or so ago about hard lessons on the farm.  Well we tried finding Hank another home and couldn't.  We decided to just start keeping him inside the house or putting him in the garage at night.  We just couldn't take him to the animal shelter. ...
