Welcome to Cranky Puppy Farm!

This blog belongs to two Gen X-er's smackdab in downtown Kansas City where we've been renovating and decorating two old Victorians built in the 1890's. Our life is filled with 3 demanding Pomeranians (1 of them cranky, of course), honking cars, noisy neighbors and the hustle and bustle of city life but we dream of the day when we can move to our 40-acre farm and hear nothing but the wind and the cows next door. Until then, we're chronicling our triumphs and mishaps here as we try to garden and preserve on 2 city lots, raise chickens, and learn all those things we should have learned from our grandparents. Welcome to our world - we hope you'll stay awhile!

Teufelshunde

Saturday, November 10, 2012


Today is J.'s birthday.  That is to say, his second birthday.  You see, he's a United States Marine, a vet who served in Operation Desert Storm.  He's a proud Teufelshunde or "devil dog", which is what the Germans in World War I referred to the Marines as because they "fought like dogs from hell".

When you want something done, you send in the Marines.  Born on November 10, 1775 and still going strong.



These brave men, and those in the other branches of the military, put their lives on the line to protect the freedom that you and I enjoy (and others seem to take for granted.)  They are heroes, every one of them and they deserve our utmost honor and respect.

Oorah, boys!  Oorah!
