Companionship at the Farm

At my farm I don't have the privilege of living with my family who stay at home in the City as its much easier for travel to school for Gideon. So to be out there in the jungle hearing sounds of insects from dusk gives a feeling especially crickets.

 


Urban people might be haunted with these sounds but they do sink some feelings to us farmers especially when we are alone in the wild. These are what we encounter on dark nights. But what about the day apart from farming, the weather, cooking, etc. If one is alone it must be boring especially being away from the family for a few days. I needed companions to interact with and sometimes take time to play with them. Even though we have cattle's and horses these two animal are quite huge in size and cant be around your house or get even closer due to their size.

One can be in a state of solitude if there is lack of interaction. To avoid all this fuss cats and dogs play a role with humans on this part. At the farm we are lucky to have dogs which provide security and early warning alarm for visitors but also as companions to me. A few weeks ago 2 puppies were were born to "beauty" who is one of the two dogs who are security guards in the farm.
