Acrostic Poem:
Dogs
Daily doses
Of
Genuine love and
Slobbery kisses.

My name is Tonya, and I grew up on a 300-acre farm in rural Virginia that has been in my family for over 100 years. After graduating from college, receiving my master’s degree in speech and language pathology, and living and working in a small city for six years, I decided to return to the place of my childhood. Here, in this rural area, on this patch of green, where for four generations my family has farmed, gardened, and lived, I, too wanted to be a part of this continuity. As a fourth generation farmgirl, I have many interests that not only include, but also go beyond the basics of farming, gardening, sheep and chicken-keeping. It is all of this and more that I plan on sharing in this blog.

We adopt rescue dogs, Huskies. In some cases mistreatment is obvious by their reactions, our current dog won’t go near steps, inside or out, and will pull alway in terror when we have to take him up a set. Yet, the love they show is unbelievable, my wife says it’s an example of unconditional love.

All of our dogs are rescue dogs, too. Their capacity for love is really amazing, especially given some of their circumstances. I’m so grateful for people like you and your wife who save these wonderful animals. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
