What is good about having a pet?
I have pets, though not the kind most people picture.
I live on a homestead with my husband, where we raise pigs, chickens, and turkeys, plus one outdoor cat.
None of them come inside, but they play a big role in our lives. They turn food and garden scraps into nutritious protein rich in vitamins and minerals.
Along the way, they delight us with their antics—the chickens strut like tiny dinosaurs, the turkeys lumber on their pterodactyl legs, and the pigs act like oversized dogs, barking included.
Caring for them has given our lives a deeper sense of meaning. We work to give them a good life, and in turn, they provide for us in a way that feels both natural and rewarding.
