Farm Vlog - Blazing Heat, Wildfire Worries, and Tequila’s Sweet Puppies

It’s another scorching day here at Andersen Acres, and the heat is no joke! While wildfires loom in the distance and the sun beats down like it’s got something to prove, farm life doesn’t take a break. In today’s hobby farm vlog, we’re pushing through the heatwave to care for the animals, tend the plants, and—most importantly—snuggle Tequila’s adorable new livestock guardian dog puppies.

This is real homesteading life—the good, the hard, and the heartwarming. You’ll see how we keep our animals safe and hydrated in extreme heat, manage the garden during dry conditions, and cope with the anxiety of wildfire season. Plus, there’s nothing like a litter of puppies to lift our spirits, even on the hottest days.

If you’re into hobby farming, raising animals, or just love a slice of everyday farm life, this video is for you. Whether you’re a seasoned homesteader or dreaming of starting your own farm, you’ll find relatable moments and practical insights right here.

Farm Vlog - Smoke, Puppies, and Chicks: A Hot, Quiet Day on the Hobby Farm

Welcome back to Andersen Acres! In today’s hobby farm vlog, we’re sharing a glimpse of a quiet but smoky summer day on the homestead. With the wildfire smoke rolling in on the wind, we kept things simple but steady. Our 3-day-old Livestock Guardian Dog puppies—Tequila’s newest litter—are doing great, and we’re excited to watch them grow!

We also moved our baby chicks out to the brooder where they can safely thrive and enjoy more space. Over in the rabbitry, I attempted to breed Libra (our sassy Holland Lop doe) to Capricorn, but she wasn’t having it today—maybe tomorrow! And of course, with the heat and dry conditions, it was time to water all the garden plants to help them cope with the scorching sun.

Farm Vlog - No Rain, Just Smoke, But the Animals Keep Growing!

Our Great Pyrenees, Tequila, is still doing an amazing job caring for her newborn puppies, who are growing strong and healthy. We’ve got baby chicks hatching in the incubator, kittens getting bigger and more adventurous, and three of our young ducks graduated from the brooder to the outdoor pen. It’s a full week of hobby farm animal updates!

Farm Vlog - Wildfire Prep With Livestock, Newborn Puppies, and Hatching Chicks

In this week’s Andersen Acres farm vlog, we’re facing the return of wildfires in our region. While we’re not currently under evacuation orders, many local farms are—and it’s a harsh reminder of just how important it is to be prepared. We’re sharing how we approach emergency planning when you have large farm animals, livestock guardian dogs, poultry, and more to think about.

You’ll also get a heartwarming update on Tequila’s brand-new puppies—just one day old and thriving under her watchful eye. Plus, our incubator is buzzing with life as the first baby chicks start to hatch! Gwen the cat has also made a bold move, relocating her kitten from the shed back under the deck (because cats, of course).

If you love animals, are interested in homesteading, raising livestock, or just enjoy watching the ups and downs of life on a small hobby farm, this vlog is for you.
