Hello from all of us at Kennedy's Funny Farm....I'm Courtney and I'll be your tour guide along all of our wild adventures and blog posts! My husband and I have 2 cats, 8 dogs and 13 miniature donkeys. You'll get to know the "players" as the blog proceeds, so sit back, relax and enjoy!!

Your patience is appreciated while I travel the "Learning Curve" in the world of blogging...our first several posts might be pretty sketchy and experimental, but hang in there...it'll get better - I promise! Many thanks to our blogging friends, Brutus and Michelle, for inspiring us to blog too!

For our first official post, I'm "borrowing" a chapter from the Kennedy Dog Walking Chronicles, written by my very good friend and employer Teresa. She is owned by two wonderful cats, but borrows a few of my dogs on a regular basis for hikes in the beautiful Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area (in NE Ohio). This post features Sadie Lou, a 5-year old, liver & white spotted rescued Brittany and her "brother" Tazz, also a 5-year old, liver & white roan rescued Brittany - with a tail! So, on with the blog!

Rules of Conduct in the Metro Parks



First, and most IMPORTANT: secure the seatbelt before leaving the driveway! Safety is imperative!


Second: pay close attention to nature – there is a myriad of creatures to be seen.

Third: take advantage of the numerous spas along the trails.

Fourth: Remember to pace yourself – take breaks.

Fifth: There are ALWAYS puppy treats at the end of the trail!

    I am confused by the donkey dogs. They look almost as large as myself.

  13. I see that a bunch of our "furiends" (one of the many blogging terms you'll need to add to your vocabulary) have come through for us, that's a lot of comments for a new blog! Now the pressure is on (hehehehe)

  14. Welcome to the blogging world! I promise you'll love it and become totally and completely addicted! I actually have four blogs going at once right now. One for my Siberian Husky Storm, one for my Beagle/Mountain Cur Jackal, one for my Boer goat dog Jasmine and one about farm life in general (lots of pictures of my chickens and stuff). I can't wait to learn more about your critters, especially the donkeys (I've ridden horses since I was five, but am currently without one, but shopping right now yay!). Once again welcome!

  19. Wow! Have you got a LOT of posts ALREADY! Our friend, Brutus, also told us to sniff you out, and since we here at Corgi Country also have equine type friends, and Mom wants a little burro, or donkey as a companion animal for her old horse, she let us lead her on over here. You all live a LONG way away from California, but the country around your place looks like a LOT of fun to explore! Have fun!
