Awwwwww Dexter is so lovey in this one 😻🫶🏻😻

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

He’s really such a cool farm panther 🐈‍⬛

[@wesssavorn9018]

I just luv watching you and your animals it's very entertaining and you always make me laugh❤❤❤

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Nice, that’s awesome 👏

[@corithefrugalflower]

I think Dexter thinks YOU are his best friend!! 🥰

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yeah we’re pals but then again they’re all my pals. We had Stormy barn cat taken by predators and she was my favourite, she would ride on my shoulder all day. Even in my tractor. That’s why I built the catio so they can be protected at night cause it was too heartbreaking. I miss her she was my first cat and turned me into a cat person. Dexters trying his best to take her place though, he is very cool.

@@HiddenSpringFarm I'm so sorry you lost Stormy Chad 💔 How do you keep them from running off ?

[@corithefrugalflower]

Omg Dexter!! 😆 Behaving like a reptile with all the climbing on you!! 🐈‍⬛

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

I encourage his behaviour 😜

[@gooseyloosey5612]

Today is a funny video😁, my favorite moment when the cat jumped on your shoulder 🙀

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Glad you enjoyed it. That jump caught me off guard but I just rolled with it. Dexter does that sometimes cause he's my boy.

[@madelineelliott5002]

Olive and Dexter are like your little shadows 🥰 its so cute how they both always want to be where you are!

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Oh yeah I cannot hide from Olive she finds me every time even if I'm so quiet lol.

[@gardengirl7258]

My OES is very vocal too when she plays. I call her Pooh Bear.😁 Miss Pooh for short.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

I love the name Pooh anyway. Olive really does sound like a Grizzly and Molly's just so quiet. Same breed, different dog. Luv them to bits mud and all.

[@sherrikinney6633]

He loves you! My cat does the same thing to me.

[@joeannperschall7226]

Im glad i didnt have to bathe Olive and Molly. They were a mess. But they sure looked like they were having fun. I was in Windsor-Ontario Many years ago. Its to cold for me. Thanks for the laughs from the antics of the farm animals. ..

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

They sure were, and yeah that’s just a Canadian winter for ya! 😊

[@joeannperschall7226]

The snow was beautiful but i Dont think i could live in a snowy place. Im spoiled Having lived my 83 years in the warm and steamy south.

[@SarahLynnLee]

Love all of your farm videos, they are so entertaining and uplifting!!😃

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

I appreciate you saying that, it means a lot and let’s me know I’m in the right track. See u around eh, Chad.

[@yeagerxp]

LOL I almost got caught with my pants down regarding snow tires on the car. Last Sunday I was working on my backyard and snow flakes started to fall. OH UH so I turned off the water to the outside, disconnected the hoses and then on Monday I got my tires changed. Good thing too we got snow on Tuesday and a cold spell lasting a week. It seems this winter is going to be harsh one. Well done 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

I was the same 😂 had to drive our suv for a few days until I could switch my Mini to snows. At least u got r done. Gotta have snows up here or you’re doomed. My blueberry patch hose was the only one to get frozen all others I had drained. Usually we get only a dusting of snow in Nov but this year we got hit hard, next week I talk about snow squalls while scrambling to get the snowblower on the tractor. 😆 🚜 Stay warm my friend.

[@karensmutny6090]

Can you put solar panel's on the roof of some of the animals Pen's & attach them to keep the water from getting frozen ?

[@AlexK26496]

Snow ❄ ??? 😃 Kicking off Thanksgiving 🦃 with some wonderful entertainment from Hidden Spring Farm ! Grateful for all you share 🙏 ❤

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yeah we got hit with the tail end of that storm in northern New York. Lots of fun in the snow.

[@AlexK26496]

@@HiddenSpringFarm For Olive and Molly surely 😄

[@janetpartridge8420]

Did I miss something? Why are some of the hens wearing those adorable but ridiculous aprons?😂

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Nope some still wear them, sometimes they pull them off too. Only once they get to roughed up by the roo.

[@stanleykeith6969]

Hello Chad, You and the Wife have a Happy Thanksgiving ! Chad I would have to keep the dogs in the house. It would be a Bath Every Day !

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Same to u bud. Mud season is the worst for sheepdogs.

[@olliewhoopieenoldenglishsh1549]

Olive and Molly are dogs, it is good they are allowed to get dirty. The mud will fall out of their hair when it is dry. It will not be so bad as it seems to be now ;-)

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Yeah it’s amazing that as the hair dries it magically repels the dirt, trouble is that it makes a beach all over the house so we keep them in the laundry area while they dry out 😆

[@olliewhoopieenoldenglishsh1549]

@@HiddenSpringFarm oh yes, same here, sand all over the place! 🙂

[@GrannySanny]

Watching you this morning before I start cooking for Thanksgiving Day in the states. I am making pies to take to my daughter's house in Missouri. Poor doggies get so dirty this time of year.

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

Happy Thanksgiving to you & the whole family. Pies are my favourite part of thanksgiving…apple, pumpkin and flapper pie are my favourites. You folks have a great weekend eh. 🍻 🦃

[@evelynrogers7145]

I don’t care for that type of heater. I’d be worried there not getting enough water

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

I was skeptical too but I tried one, then saw it was fine and the chickens actually know there’s water inside…so then I bought for all the coops.

[@evelynrogers7145]

Hate winter. So much more work

[@HiddenSpringFarm]

I know right, the dogs gets super dirty all the time too. That’s why I try to make an easy winter setups for the animals.

Brother can u put one comment in my channel 😊, lots of love from Kerala.
