My cat, Henry, loves his cat carrier! From when he was a kitten, I kept it around with the door open and a familiar blanket inside, and he enjoyed it as a cozy place to curl up and sleep. Then I put it away — but I take it out again every once in a while for a few days. To Henry, this is a treat, and he'll enjoy sleeping and just hanging out in it again. Now, whenever Henry needs to go to the vet, all I have to do is take out the carrier and open the door and he goes right in! Instead of associating the carrier with a frightening trip to the vet, Henry knows it to be a cozy, comfortable, and safe place to be. (Henry's also a toilet-trained cat — it's the best thing ever, but that's another story!)

Abby is a cattle natural and clearly loves that part of the job a lot, it's really fun watching her join you on cattle duties

The "My Buddy Alfred" jingle makes me so happy. I'd love to hear one for each of the other farm "stars, " like Abby, Toby, Pablo, etc.

It is NOT being lazy but saving your energy for other tasks and giving more energy to each task. Also, you can tell Abby is becoming much calmer. Good job.

The eye roll of Abby when you were giving her itches and hit the perfect stop was so adorable. She couldn't hide it lol.

You got me Interested in farming. I now have 7 ducks and 2 geese on a very small lot.

I now understand what the boots are for.

Abby doing so well!! Love seeing the cows clear the brush around trees! Super helpful!

Abby's herding instinct is insane. It's mindblowing how the same breed, based on genetics, is driven by different instincts. Abby's camera view was so cute!

[tmlawson]

anyone who thinks Abby is suffering or trapped or unhappy on this farm with Morgan... her running around in that abbycam footage disproves that imho. very happy doggo 🤓👍 glad she is improving her herding

[jenniferrollins]

I've been excited for your brand new hoop house ever since you said you'd build one this summer. Looking forward to the making of video showing you and Alfred building it. Don't disappoint us and not play Alfred theme song! 😂👏👍

While Abby still does that "head snap" motion when she sees certain birds, her progress with regards to her behavior have greatly improved.

It isn't laziness, it is efficiency! No reason to have things harder than they need to be.

Abby is learning so much. She's behaving!!!

[NotreDanish]

When you have break time during the day, do you ever just sit with Toby and Abby? Thats always been something I’ve enjoyed with the dogs I’ve had in my life

[jordondax]

What a nice ending lol. Great seeing, Alfred again.

[MzzzNettie]

Yay, Alfred! It's always good to see our buddy Alfred. Can't wait to see the video on the coop.

[carolyntemple]

Abby is coming along great. It's kind of neat she has a bit of herder in her and she was so good around the birds.

[ssjess]

You have such a loving relationship to all the animals on your farm. It's so sweet to watch

[angelserenade]

I think Abby is doing a great job as a herding dog. Her high energy and high drive is suitable to herd the calves. She's the total opposite of Toby and that's not bad. Plus she's in pure bliss whenever she drinks water
