44. Not a farm just a little 600sqft house I built when I became homeless after breaking my leg.

My first dog as an adult was Velcro. He walked in my front door, when I was working on my car, and set down in my recliner and stayed and raised all the kittens. He came down with sinus tumor and had to be put to sleep. He always liked the vet, but when the vet was taking him back he started whimpering for the first time and that started everyone else in the office crying. Very hard day. Whiner took it hard and that was why I let the vet talk me into the stray beagle.

I just live here with the varmints, they are the bosses. As it should be.
