Introducing our cat, Amaca, who is vicious to little lizards. He's about a year old and we've had him for about six months, after I finally talked Kevin into getting a cat to keep down on the mouse population! For the most part he helps. He doesn't catch them all but...
He does love sauteed zucchini if you'd like to prepare him some supper.
And, meet one of our eight hens, Beauty.
Of course I got these ladies for the eggs but they're fun to have around as well. Though we've had a steep learning curve with these girls but we do love the eggs.
Now, I can't let Dorea out when I need to care for the hens because she wants to have chicken dinner.
And I can't let the hens out of their coop to wander the yard searching for goodies cause they destroy my flowers and garden herbs.
And I had to build fences around my garden that are"strong enough to keep zebras out" according to Peter, because Ziva LOVES fresh food. (sorry, no pictures of the strong fences available.) Yes, the dog attacked my yellow pepper plants and one day when the dogs were still friends, Ziva was left alone inside and had a meal of tomatoes we'd brought from the market for our dinner. Bananas are her all time favorite!
Our little farm in the rain forest has also served as a learning facility for some wonderful missionary children.
I've heard that a goose can be good security too. Do you think I should add that to the farm?
