From the Eyes of the Farm: Welcome to the Farm Life
This is the Life…the Farm Life Hello my fellow human friends. My name is Kali, and I am the fortunate overseer of the majestic and rich Bailey Farm. Nothing, and I really mean nothing, is better than treading over the land, paws sinking within the first few layers of young grass and clay soil, smelling the fresh, crisp air, tracking the wild bunnies and squirrels. This is my life, and I love it. Yes, this is the dog’s life. I believe I shall begin with the introduction of the farm family. My humans are so kind and generous, and I love them. I am their protector, and...

I’m sitting here in my apartment knowing that I need to study for my final exams….but procrastination is one of those all too attractive (and comfortable) stages of studying, and I just can’t get myself to move on from it. I decided that it’s okay to put off my note-reading for just a little longer if I’m doing something healthy and productive in its place. I can’t procrastinate on a rumbling tummy!

It’s that time of year again. The days are getting extremely shorter. And I mean that literally. I get out of class at 5:30 pm some days, it’s practically pitch black. I walk around Copenhagen adoring the lights and festive air, and it feels like it’s about 9 pm…when it’s actually 4 pm. Let’s just say, I’ve been taking a lot of Vitamin D supplements for the lack of sunshine. But, despite this slightly gloomy and dark weather here in Copenhagen, the bright and cozy attitude makes up for it one hundred times over again. Practically...
Read MoreMr. and Mrs. Bailey Come to… København
It’s a funny feeling when you have visitors in a place in which you’re technically a visitor yourself. But, honestly, I felt like Copenhagen was “my city” when my parents came to visit me during my last travel break. Prior to making the tour de Copenhagen with me, they hopped around Ireland for a couple days, exploring its beautiful landscapes and ruined castles. They even had the opportunity to meet a real Irish sheep farmer and a couple “smarter than you’d expect” border collies. (As a side note: we REALLY REALLY REALLY need border collies...
