Just a cool spot. The pond is spring fed.
This is Mae's humble beginning. She wasn't getting up to her proper fighting weight and needed some assistance. She was also freaking adorable!

This gal was a frequent visitor in the fall of 2024!
This is Sam after picking him up from the hospital, the only time I've been aware that he was PO'd at me. I had to leave him there over night for his surgery. It took a full twenty minutes in the car before he would turn around, but I finally got an "I forgive you" face lick after that. Sam's ordeal was as rough as it gets. In late June 2020, Sam was napping near the barn and where I was sitting and wasn't seen by a driver. In the end, he is 100% and I have not left him overnight anywhere since then. |
Sam is an awesome copilot. We did have some arguments about the back seat throttle in the Husky but worked through our brief argument over who was, and was not, pilot flying.
This is the true definition of "hanging out"
This is just a cool bit of natural history. Three generations of tree. It's a little hard to see but the currently living cedar is growing out of the back. Considering the buckboard marks were probably made in the early 20th century, the fire that burned the starter stump must have been in the early 1800's.
This looks like being called to duty and is just short of a salute.

So, if you are looking for something to read... "Side Road To Nevada" by Chris Allen Lynch, is available on Amazon. It is a truly awesome story that I loved telling but the version that got self-published should really have been considered a draft. Just don't expect to be wowed by the writing. I have just finished a second novel, "Saving Grace" that I am trying to get published.

Welcome to the Singing Dog Farm Website!
This site is for our little farm nestled in the foothills of the Cascade mountains and we are using this site to show the Cottage, announce puppies and horses and otherwise keep ourselves amused.
This name for our farm just barely won out over some other options like, "Learning Curve Acres", "Check your advice at the gate" and "We make it up as we go". In the end the singing dog, Temujin, made it a choice that was more fun that thinly disguised venting. Jin, was our official greeter and spiritual mascot and would almost certainly sing to you before he went back to that secret dog place in 2019. There is a story that is partly about him on the blog page.
We can be contacted by phone or text. Chris is 360-333-1240 , twolynchs@hotmail.com. Teri is 360-391-1032, flyingaerab@msn.com.

These are a few photos of the Cottage. It is currently available as a vacation rental through VRBO at www.vrbo.com/633042. It is also available as a loaner for friends and fam.
The cottage was shelled in with a crappy studio apartment upstairs when we bought our ten acres of mud and a future full of work in 2005. We finished in about 2018.

Inside the cottage, the main living area in the loft. We gutted what was here down to the Rafters and roof sheeting, added the beams and two of the dormers, built the quarter bath in the space originally occupied by the stairs, stole the stairs and muscled them across the house (thank you Kasey). The original plan to use the left over cabinets gave way to some spend thrift thinking when we walked past the close out section of Home Depot one day and found a really cool copper sink. Yep, it just works that way. Good deal on the sink needed some cooler counter tops, that stone just needed to be sitting on clear Fir cabinets. My math says the two hundred dollars that we saved on that cool sink cost us about seven thousand dollars in the long run and that was NOT in wife shopping math, that was the husbands doing. But, we did save $200 on the sink!
