Mike, you made that Ranch. I just can't hardly watch anymore without you there. I'm glad to see you happy. If you are ever in Richmond Indiana, you can stop and video are Farm. You will always be welcome. You have touched ALOT of ppls lives more than you know. Thanks for that

Have you thought about becoming a ranch manager? It would be right up your alley with all your experence.

[@ATH_Berkshire]

You think he didn’t have a good look at finding that sort of job but sufficiently close to co parent?

[@susandreiling6765]

I have to agree or a consultant? You would be great at it!

[@Rancher-oh7ew]

I think Erin probably should have hired him and left him on the ranch. She is going to struggle to do this alone now. They are co-parenting, they probably could have co-operated the ranch. Easier said than done, I know. Good luck Mike!

[@5_Foxes_In_A_Trench_Coat]

​@@Rancher-oh7ew That wouldn't be a good idea. Divorced couples really need some time apart to grieve the marriage and adjust to their new lives to remain amicable. Yes, co-parenting means communicating and acting like a team with an ex, but that's a far cry from spending 40+ hours a week at working with each other.

[@SteveWhiteUSTRC]

@@Rancher-oh7ewit looks like Jeff stayed to help…not sure why since he worked mostly with Mike.

Quitting smoking was the hardest time I ever had. I became sick, irritable, and had a hellish time. Considering that I had only smoked for 5 years. You are in my prayers

[@Kholoured]

The difference between the other fella is that you had no choice but to come back to the city. You seemed to really love the ranch life, you wanted to show everyone the ups and the downs of it so they could make informed decisions on if ranching was for them. People who don't love something do not share everything. They complain and want others to commiserate in their pain lol You on the other hand really showed everyone how to ranch with respect, most have no idea how much care and attention slaughter destined animals can get when they are raised on the right farm. Yours was one of the good ones, you cared if the animals were in pain or sick. You cared when they had to leave the ranch, you hated that they had to go but being that its a business you have to make those hard decisions. You showed how to ranch right. That to me is amazing, so many people think it takes a cruel person to send an animal off to slaughter and that all these animals are cruelly treated, never shown respect or care. Back when you had small ranches and farms all these animals were loved and shown kindness and respect. These new factory farms are where the cruelty happens, the small farms are usually better for the animals. So thank you for showing so many people what REAL ranching looks like...

[@reneefoster6991]

My grandson has a turtle is name is Fred. My oldest son had ferrets. The first one was white and grey her name was 1) Ms Aster. She would climb up on the desk. And push stuff off. And watch it hit the ground. 2) Dark brown she loved paper. These two ferrets ran all over the house. We had two little dogs. They got along really well. The third ferret he got this one later on. This ferret her name was chopper. She would like to hide electronics. Cell phones, remotes to the TV's She lived by her name really well. She would bite you in a heartbeat. The first two ferrets would love to lay on a bath towel. My son would spin them around while they were on it. They would fall off the towel. And they would crawl back onto the towel. And they were ready for another spin. Congratulations on your new home. Thank you for sharing.

Glad to see you moving on from the ranch... I know now it wasn't about the ranch, its about the person living their life

[@sb4759]

When I saw the back yard you were mowing my first thought was, "Its big enough for a cow to live on". Well you may not be able to make that happen, it's big, more grass than I want to care for. I noticed first off, the Cross on the wall. He is the one who will strengthen you and heal all the hurt. He loves you so very much! Always look to Him first, not last. For our help comes from Him. The home is comfy and roomy. Kids rooms look great and welcoming! Glad your still with us sharing your life. We all think your a great guy, & good to listen to, have a lot of insight and warmth. Or we wouldn't follow along! Life takes us all in directions we would not choose for ourselves, it makes us grow in ways we wouldn't otherwise. Your wise to embrace it as you are. Soon it will all be good in many ways. Something wonderful is coming your way, in time. I know this for one who is willing to grow and learn attracts good things, people, circumstances to them. As always, Blessings be upon you! Hug, Washington state.

Life is what happens when you are making other plans. The true measure of success is how you pivot from these big life changes. You will probably have more time to spend one on one with your kids. They grow up so fast, and you won't regret time with them. You are going to be just fine!

Yay! A ferret! We used to have seven rescue ferrets. You'll eventually probably need a second one. They do better with a friend and they need somewhere they can be out and about for several hours, getting exercise and having lots of play toys (tubing, boxes, blankets, etc) I wasn't sure about them at the beginning either, and I fell deeply in love. They are so misunderstood, but I found them more intelligent than any dog or cat that I ever owned. That's why they need time outside a cage. Also, they can get into anywhere their head will fit. Watch out for reclining chairs and under appliances. AND WARNING! They love anything rubber and will chew it up, leading to a visit to the vet for a blocked intestine. : ( Good to see your new normal and a bit of settling. Your kids will get you through. Hugs.
