Crazy farmer. He just wanted to sell some chickens and he saw a great target... you. You don't herd chickens, chickens don't herd. They do what chickens do ... graze and cluck.
P6, s2: Add a comma after (a few days)
P11, s3: (offence) should be (offense) spelling
Sounds like my wife, the only good snake, is a dead snake. She has had me cut the head off many a snake before and bury it at least six feet away from where I buried the body.
What a fun story. Detailing all the possible ups and downs of farm living. I already love that burro.
Very entertaining.

Thank you, Gary. I loved him also. I visited him once at the farm next to me where I sold him for $100.00. He got me by the hand and tried to pull me over the fence to be with him. He almost took my thumb off. I know I am loved. :).Blessings, Barbara. Xo

Thanks for sharing your fun memories about that time in the pop-up camper. So glad that your grandson had that fun experience driving at age eight!
I was a little confused about the opening paragraph because you said "behind my grandma's little shack when I was a child." But you said you were a "city girl."
The Vet. Told me that was (The vet told )

This is a very cute and very well written chapter you have penned about the Ten. You really had a very interesting life. I would have loved to live on a farm and have little animals, but no snakes! Thank you for sharing with us. love and blessings, Teri

Comment from LateBloomer
Hi Barbara, finally, some happy memories and good times with the few exceptions of some lost animals along the way. I, too, was raised in the city, and I don't know much about animals--not even dogs or cats.
Your writing is filled with vivid imagery, and I could feel your joy within.
Of special note:
It turned out Jake was in the shelter because he was a chicken killer.
(Poor Jake. He was just being a dog.)
Great photo choice. The serenity of living in the wood. Well done. This story made me smile. Looking forward to the continuation. Xo. M

Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
This is a funny and at time serious installment to your life book. The text is a great size. Be careful that you don't have too many different ideas in one paragraph. Each paragraph should be about one main idea. Most of your paragraphs you stick to this rule. In this sentence you need a "an" before Alpha. { The donkey had been an alpha) The visual fits okay.

An interesting story that makes the reader interested to know more about the author. All kinds of scenarios come to mind when I see terms like grandson, boyfriend, and AA.
