Things Are Going Downhill At Briden Farm

Roscoe Loves His Harness

Lately, that’s kind of how it feels! Denis has been in the Hospital twice in the past four months, since September 2021. Once with heart issues, and the other stomach related. The first time put us behind on our Fall Chores and made preparations for Winter even more difficult. Then, the most recent stint, actually lasting longer than the visit to the hospital for his heart, it put us in a more tedious position of trying to keep ahead of two Winter Storms, and actually a third this weekend. As I write this today the winds are ranging and the snow is falling and rapidly accumulating outside. Guess that’s better than inside! 

As a result, we’re in a position of playing catch-up, and to make that more complicated our quarter mile Laneway, also known as Rice Mullen Road, has been almost completely snowed in for about two weeks now! 

So, we’re doing everything possible to adjust! Including teaching our Dogs, Roscoe and Holly to help out more and more! Roscoe helps Dad bring in Firewood and helping to Haul our Toboggan, he even helped when Denis recently made The Journey Home. 

However, even with all that going on we continue to keep things positive and embrace, fun, at Briden Farm. Thus, this video, of me out further breaking the trail, while playing with the dogs, after a recent snowfall. 

Hope You enjoy the video, sorry for the poor audio quality…

The Journey Home

The Journey Home

Living remotely has its challenges, but when you have Holly the Snow Dog to lead the way, and Roscoe the Sled Dog to help Dad pull the toboggan, anything is possible!

Today, we helped Daddy Denis make the journey home after his stay in Yarmouth Hospital. It was an uphill haul for awhile there, but it’s well worth it, and just glad we’re all back home, safe, and together! P

Roscoe The Sled Dog At Briden Farm

Roscoe The Sled Dog

Roscoe the Sled Dog, he’s my buddy, and he seldom leaves my side! Unless I ask him to! We recently had a big snow storm, dumped about a foot of snow on us over night! Not surprising really, it’s that time of year and that amount is possible in just a few hours! Anyway, the next morning our neighbour faithfully come to plow us out! We’re so thankful for all He does!

Unfortunately, following that, He had things happen that make it so he hasn’t, and won’t, be able to do our plowing! At least for awhile! So, now we’re snowed in, with another big storm scheduled to hit here tomorrow! 

Just to make things a little harder, or more interesting perhaps, my better half was also taken out by ambulance the next night! Did I mention we’re snowed in! So, the ambulance could only make it quarter way up our quarter mile, slanted, inclined, Laneway! (Fun Fun). 

So, now, that leaves me here! Alone to run the Farm! 

it’s not all that bad, but till I get things caught up, it’s a bit hectic. Especially trying to respond to all the well meaning people who keep asking how we’re doing! We love Ya for it, but it all takes time! Anyway… 

I still found time to fit in a little fun! 

Fun, yes, but it did mean my taking the toboggan down our quarter mile Laneway… rode it down actually! Then, our friend Gary took me to the Feed Store! I got four bags of feed, each weighing 25kg and then loaded it on the Toboggan and hauled it back up the hill! 

Once I got to the top of the Laneway, and turned the corner, I left the toboggan and all there for a few minutes and went in to get Roscoe and the Harness. I him harnessed up and we brought everything up to the house.

Where, after I unloaded it after Roscoe the Sled Dog and and Holly The Snow Dog had their treats, and I had a cup of tea! Of Course!
