howdy from Texas I am a Ozark born farmgirl from S W Misssouri who ended up in Dallas about 28 years ago. I am 54 about to be 55 where did time go? I have been going back to who I really am and it feels good I always hung onto the farmgirl in me inspite of being in the city - finding mary janes farm mag gave me a boost I needed to take back who I really am full speed ahead
MY profession is fun used to be a clown did balloon animals and was a face painter for several years then got my first wallaby and things went from there I got various exotic animals to raise had a small zoo did animal education programs then added petting zoo and pony rides and began breeding wallabies. 5 years ago developed kidney failure so have been on dialysis will be getting back on transplant list soon have to do a lot of fund raising first it is expensive to maintain from then on. I ended up rehoming all the exotics but wallabies I now just do petzoo and pony and aussie outback programs when i have a joey im keeping, also have baby capybara and guinea pigs will do programs with them soon I have 5 wallabies, 3 ponies only one does rides others are minis, 2 babydoll sheep brothers one white one is adult and black lamb, 2 mytonic -fainting goats-,1 royal palm turkey who LOVES kids and his job he is a hoot, 1 goose who thinks shes a duck, 4 ducks one is a funny girl. had to get rid of chickens for now husband was annoyed at roosters crowing--its music to my ears--he is a city boy. and 4 rabbits-I have a small zoo but is a good one get lots of compliments I have good babies- i am mama to my animals.
things i enjoy quilting i like doing original designs I like to weave have 46"'floor loom have beeen into alternative health/ therapies several years love books, getting back to enjoying just being me the way God created me

Kate, a warm Missouri welcome, I love it here and wouldn't want to live anywhere else on this earth! I am a Missouri "Farmgirl" born and raised! (Well, to be honest I lived in the city (St Louis) most of my life, and felt misplaced!!) My husband and I moved out to Dittmer 3 years ago! Sorry to hear you had to "lose" the chickens, I have had mine now for a year and I cant imagine being without them!

Hi Kate, nice to meet you. My three Daughter's live in Denton. One is a small animal rescuer but is sort of cutting back right now as she tries to get her real profession (digital graphics and web design) off the ground. She still has several that she will keep forever. She has always wanted a wallaby. Welcome to MJF there are some great people here.
