         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is my gerbil Stuart. I've owned him for close to two years. He is a Mongolian Gerbil. He is so cute and loves to climb on things and burrow in his cage. I got him at the beginning of summer break in 2024. If he would win an award, I think he would win the best furry animal award. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I just got Zumba this year, and everyone in my family loves him. Zumba is an Abyssinian guinea pig. One thing that makes Zumba special is how he interacts with my family and me. If I'm in the room and walk towards his food bowl, he won't make a sound, knowing that he'll get a treat. However, if I'm just sitting on my bed and not paying attention to him, he will squeak repeatedly until he gets his way. When he finally receives his food, he crunches loudly, making me and whoever is in the room burst out laughing! </p><p>And at night, if he doesn't like us to sleep, he will squeak so loudly and annoy and wake up anyone sleeping nearby that you have to cover up his cage with a blanket and tell him to be quiet. And then he does. </p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hai, this is my boy Maverick. He is a pure bred English Setter and a CKC champion! He won his championship at the English Setter Club of Canada Show!!! </p><p>But when he isn't in the ring showing off he is usually either being cozy in his bed by the fire place or asking for a T-R-E-A-T! </p><p>He has won many ribbons and prizes but I think if he won a human trophy it'd be a grammy for best singer to my piano playing!!! BTW he is a giant goofball,  he gets zoomies on our walks and it's super adorable and funny. His star sign is Saggitarius which is great for me 'cause I'm a Leo! </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Sully loves food a LOT. He shakes when it's time for dinner because he is so excited. We can't say W-A-L-K around him or else he runs around wagging his tail like a eggbeater. He loves anyone who will give him food and likes playing with toys like the one in the picture. He also likes belly scratches and other dogs.  </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is my cow raspberry, she is a 1/2 milking shorthorn and 1/2 brown Swiss. I have raised since she was a new born calf and now she is in milk herself. She likes grain a lot and is also a little over weight for a milk cow. She is our only milk cow that we can ride and is super friendly everyday. She is very protective of her calf but not mean to me and that is because I worked so hard to train her when she was a calf. All that work paid of because she is now my favourite cow to milk.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Teachers can join too, right? My daughter won this chick at the Rock Creek Fall Fair, and when we asked her what she wanted to name the chick, without hesitation she said "Pom Pom Cotton Candy". So there you have it, the most uniquely named chick I know, by my 3-year-old. She just started laying eggs this winter along with the other 15 chickens we have in our backyard. My daughter is very proud of her chicken and will carry her around the yard when possible to show her admiration. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Alfred is a crazy cat that runs around the house all day. At night he sleeps on our armchair. He loves to wrestle with his brother Oliver. Alfred is almost one years old. We are trying to make him an outside cat but he does not like to go outside that often. He has two brothers - his older brother (Miles) and his younger brother (Oliver). He sometimes catches a mouse outside (very occasionally) and brings it to our front door. We call him Alfie for short.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Alinka is my service dog. I got her this year. She went to school in Slovakia and Edmonton. She helps me focus and stay safe. She is allowed to come with me everywhere and is always looking to see if I need help. She is very calm when she's working but when she isn't she loves to play, run fast, and wrestle. I like to give her treats and read books together.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Chubbilina is a Mongolian gerbil 🐹. She loves to be pet and loves to eat and sleep. She also likes to hide. She’s special because she is sooooooooooo fluffy. She could win an award for being soooooooooooooooo adorable. She doesn’t have a favourite treat because she will eat anything… I am not joking once she ate my curtains. My pet is a part of my family because my little brother had a gerbil and it died… 😭 so we got him and I a new one because they are sooooooooooooo cute 🥰.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Scout and Winnie are mother and daughter; they are both labs. Scout had 2 batches of 10 puppies; Winnie was in the second batch. Winnie is called Winnie because she is a golden retriever/lab mix. My family got Scout from a puppy mill; her mom was supposed to be a purebred golden retriever, but it turns out she is a golden retriever/lab mix. Scout's dad was a pure black lab. Dadnie's mom is a golden retriever/ black lab mix, and Winnie's dad is a chocolate lab. Scout and Winnie love being good guard dogs because they bark at everyone that comes up to our front door and at every car that drives up our driveway, especially the Amazon deliveryman 😆. My dogs would probably win a prize for best and loudest barkers because they can bark so loudly that the entire house can hear them.    </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>     This is my cat Bazl. He is really special to me because when I was little I longed for a kitten and then I got him.</p><p>     Bazl occasionally plays with man made toys, but the only real toys to him are small animals or certain playful people like me and my dad. He LOVES kitty treats.        Bazl is very loyal...sometimes. Once my mom, siblings, and grandmother were walking in the woods and he walked with them to make sure they were safe. It proved to everyone how wonderful he is.         Bazl is also a very good hunter. One summer, a mouse graveyard was established along our driveway.                         At night he sleeps at my feet and makes (at least I hope he makes), a good spider killer just in case.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is Luna, our pet bird. When we got him, his wings were clipped, and it was kind of cring-ouch-funny watching him smash into windows whilst trying to get onto the curtain. After about 10 months, we realized that "she" was a "he!" ( Hence the female name "Luna.") We have two birds, but Luna is definitely the loudest! When he's quiet for more then 5 minutes, I start thinking that he might be sick. :) </p><p>Though he's loud, we still love him a lot. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This picture is quite blurry, because our fish is scared of the camera. We got Fred from a friend who went to the pet store to get one fish, but accidentally got two! He gave one to us, and Fred joined the family. We named him Fred for two reasons: One, my brother really wanted to give him that name and Two, Fred is the name of a movie character with orange hair.</p><p>Fred gets excited when he is fed, usually by my brother, and spends his days eating, swimming, opening and closing his mouth ("Blubbing") and basically existing. We love him, and we haven't figured out if he loves us yet-but we'll learn soon.</p>]]></description>

She has been with us for almost a year and she is absolutely amazing with children! Ez seems to be very grateful to live with us on Chickadee Ranch and adores her horse friends. Ez has really helped me build confidence riding and caring for a horse. She is a wonderful addition to the family and so much fun. Our favourite thing to do is ride up to the Saskatoon trees and eat all the berries - delicious! </p>]]></description>

We haven't named him yet, but #4 is what he is called right now because we have 3 other calves from last year still without mamas.</p><p><br/></p><p>Tia is a hilarious cow (she likes to put one leg through the feeder panel when she's eating, and likes to lick absolutely everything, including me!), and she is a super mama! This is her 2nd or 3rd time calving, so she is a pro! </p><p><br/></p><p>#4 is super adorable, with huge eyes and little wobbly legs :) This photo is from when he is only a couple hours old! He is curious just like his mama, and wasn't shy or scared of me at all - he's off to a great start!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>My dog's name is Reese. He's a Brittany Spaniel. His special talent is singing. Whenever I play the harmonica he starts to sing and bark. His favourite toy is his tug toy that he got for Christmas this year. Our dog is very good at finding mushrooms. When we went on a hunt to find mushrooms this year in the wild we found one, let him sniff it, and he led us to so many more. I think if my dog ever won an award it would be for his amazing mushroom hunting talent. When I was four years old, Reese entered our family. My two older sisters love dogs and so my parents agreed to get one. Summer is Reese's favourite time of year because he loves to hike in the forest and climb mountains with us.</p>]]></description>

She is very motivated by treats such as chicken scratch. She comes running when she hears us enter the pen!</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Oreo was one of my first chickens. When we first got her (and her siblings) we were living in a travel trailer and we would bring them inside for the night and snuggle them before bed. Oreo would always hangout on our shoulders and backs and she still does today! She is almost 5 years old! She enjoys eating chicken scratch, and bamboo leaves.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Nellie is going to be 6 in August. She is the 2nd dog my family has ever had, but she's my favourite. She would never desert me, nor I her. She is always ready to cuddle when I'm feeling down, and she won't let me stop petting her until I feel better. Besides being goofy and sweet, she learns really fast, especially considering her age. I recently taught her the command to wait. She is a great pyrenees, Akbash, Maremma x. She is super good with our other animals. (Cows, sheep, and chickens.) Nellie is by far my favourite dog that I have ever met. I wish I could enter her in dog showmanship at the BC Ag Expo. I am certain we would walk off witha Blue ribbon! </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is our little mini. She is very sassy, and thinks she’s a big horse that can boss everyone around. I like to ride her bareback, but she doesn’t always listen very well! Our whole family loves her so much, especially my big brother and sister. She always is on the hunt for yummy alfalfa and other tasty things to eat, so she’s quite fat! She’s very sneaky and waits till our big horses go out of their stalls and then quietly creeps in to finish their hay. She likes water, and always rolls in the shallow water when we take her to the river. She makes us laugh every day! </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is my horse Buttercup, she is a 18 year old mare. Even though she is quite old she does not act like it! We do not know her past but we think she did not have very good owners. We also think that her past owners hurt her when they put her saddle and blanket on. She was very scared of things going over her back. She now trusts me, and doesn't even flinch!  She tends to be a bit grumpy in the morning but all other times she is the sweetest horse you will ever find. I love her and will forever think she is the best horse ever!   </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is Sunny. He is my 13 year old off the track Thoroughbred. He actually won first place four times at Hastings Racetrack in Vancouver, and came in second and third lots of times. He is a very good boy and likes to canter in the field and beside the road. He does not like to stop, though! Sunny loves water and will splash with his front feet and put his head under at the same time. I do not know how he does not hit his head with his hooves, but he doesn't! The only time Sunny is crabby is when the farrier comes to trim his hooves, then he will be very bad and won't pick up his feet. By the time the farrier is done, she is sweating all over. I want to teach him how to jump this fall, but it will take a lot of training and patience. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>My cat's name is Possey, but we mostly call her Kitty. Her favourite chew toy is a catnip stuffed sock. She has always been a very very good mouser but now that she's older, she doesn't catch many mice or pack rats in the winter. I got her when I was four and when we took her home, it didn't take her long to get used to me. And when I was younger she got so used to me picking her up and carrying her everywhere that now she doesn't like to walk anywhere indoors! She is eight years old now (though she doesn't show it!). She has always been a very friendly cat. She has many places to be every day,  primarily my bed and my favorite chair, and generally it's the chair!  She will always be my best friend. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Our dog Milly is a very fluffy and lovable kind of dog, and she always likes to be around the family. She is a great guard dog and she always likes to bark at trucks that drive by. We got her when she was really little and we brought her home in a laundry basket and when we were home I got out a bowl of rice crispys and she wanted them really badly. It was so funny 🤣🤣🤣.  When she runs she has a very funny way of doing it. I have heard my Dad remark that she is his favourite dog that he has ever had. She has many chew toys and teddy bears, and she also loves to play fight. She always sleeps in my room usually on my bed. She is my favourite dog too! </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Mr. Whiskers is a purebred Siamese cat. My siblings named him Mr. Whiskers for obvious reasons, but I wanted to name him Dexter… When he was just a kitten, we found him at the bottom of our mountain running across the road into a prickle bush. We tried to catch him so we could find his owner, but he was very wild and hard to catch. After we got him, we couldn't find his owners so we took him in. We were looking to buy two cats already so it was very good timing.&nbsp;</p><p>He always follows me around and comes with me to feed the goats. One of his favorite things to do is watch our chickens. </p><p>One time, we had an old bassinet that my mom was getting rid of. We put it in our garage and soon found out that Mr. Whiskers had made it into his new favorite bed. So we now call it the catinet!</p><p>Mr. Whiskers is a very cute cat.</p>]]></description>

On the way to BC she gave birth to a litter  of puppies in the back of the truck. Our friends fostered Reba and her puppies. One day we went to there house and saw the puppies and Reba. We soon fell in love with Reba and adopted her. She is the sweetest  dog I have ever seen .She barks when she is happy and chases after sticks and balls. Once me and my little brother were out side, when we saw a bear close to us, Reba chased it a way. Reba always wants a belly rub or a scratch behind the ears. Reba can also push a door open with her snout if it is left open a crack. Reba loves the snow, she runs around like wild and barks. Reba also barks and growls if someone walks down our road she doesn't know. She is an amazing dog and is loved by our family. She is the best !!!</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>That's Reba and I wouldn't trade her for the world!!!     </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Barney is my potbelly pig. He is five years old and very smart. He adores his food and mud baths,  and likes playing with me in the summer when I try to splash cold water on him. The first time I tried to give him a belly rub, I scratched too hard and he didn't like it. But after I learned how to do it properly, he was okay with it. </p><p>This picture is of Barney on my birthday last year. My sister was able to get a party hat on him, which is quite the feat because Barney does not usually like to be touched or petted except by me. </p><p>Barney is very docile and sweet, and likes his personal space. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>These are our fierce looking but very friendly Rottweiler dogs. They get really hyper and jump up on me. Lily loves to play fight with her mom, Nova, but Nova doesn't always love it as much! Whenever I step outside, no matter what time of day, both dogs are sure to be there, tails wagging, and ready to lick my face. Their best time of day is supper time!! They LOVE to eat!! They also LOVE walks, especially down to the river, where they hunt for field mice and other critters. They are never grumpy, and if we are gone for a longer time, when we come back, Nova even smiles, she's so happy. (Actually her lip gets stuck in her teeth so it looks like she's smiling.) When we go up our mountain, we usually hear them howling sadly from the barnyard. </p><p>   </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is Henry! He is a long haired Syrian  hamster. He is very friendly and curious. Henry loves going into his tunnels. He eats special hamster food that looks like cereal. I like to call it "Hamster cheerios". Lately for some weird reason he has been flipping his house upside down and burrowing beneath it. His food dish is always empty because he fills his cheeks with food and then empties them out in his burrow. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is Gizmo, it is a crested gecko. It is only about 3 months old. It is very friendly and loves to climb around on my hands and arms. We don't know if it is a boy or girl yet, and we have to wait until it gets older. It lives in a bio-active tank, that means everything inside is real. It eats a powder mixture once each day. If it gets afraid or thinks there is danger it can drop (detatch) its tail to distract a predator. But sadly its tail will not grow back.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is my cat Berlioz, but I call him Ber. He is very shy and sweet. He never climbs the Christmas tree. He just lays on the tree skirt like a furry present. He is 7 years old. And he likes to hug mom when she picks him up. Instead of climbing the Christmas tree he chews on plants, poisons himself and then throws up on the carpet, so we can't bring plants in the house. (I once had a bean plant and he ate it.)</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Kessa is a six year old female Pomeranian. You can't see in the picture, but her tail looks like a pompom. She's a very sweet and gentle dog; she doesn't usually bark at anyone other than shady guys at the bus stop. When we first looked at buying her, she was so small that she could have fit in a teacup. We named Kessa after the word kissa in Finnish, which means cat. We named her that because she liked to pounce on her feet and chew charging cords when she was young. I still like dressing Kessa up in cute outfits and making her little forts to sleep in. Sometimes, I make her a throne and I put a crown and cape on her to look like a queen. Kessa is a precious dog, and I would never trade her for a trillion dollars.  </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Otis is an 18 year old rag doll cat. In human years he is about 126. We might not be able to teach old dogs new tricks but I did teach my old cat these tricks in the last year. Otis has known me before I was born, and he has known my dad since he was a teenager. </p>]]></description>
