I am from Canada.  I am an apprentice electrician. I help my parents on their farm. I am outside a lot. I do not love the outdoors. I love trucks. I like to drive around and listen to country music.
I am in Colorado.  I am outside a lot. I love the outdoors. I hike when it is not cold. I love farms.  I work behind a desk. I rock climb after work. I have a lab trooper dog. My lab is black and hangs his head out my trucks window.
Have you been able to go on a hike lately?  Do you take your dog with you?  What is his name? My dog is named Max and yes he goes hiking with me.  He loves to chase deer.  I'll bet yall have some big deer in Canada.  Max is a very nice name! We do have big deer here, I see them quite often in the woods surrounding my parents' farm. Where do you usually go hiking at? I undwind after a hard week at the office by going to my cabin by the lake.  It is at the foot of the South Axe Mountain.  Do the deer eat your crops?    Wow, that sounds very nice. I like to unwind by driving my truck around town, but if I enjoyed the outdoors more I would probably like to relax at a cabin like that. The deer are actually quite timid. They usually don't come close to the farm, and they mostly eat the berries and shrubs that grow in the woods. Really? I have always heard that farmers have a hard time keeping the deer out of the crops.   Yup, the ones around here are not bothersome, which is quite nice. I think they get scared off from all of the loud noises the farm equipment makes. Are there lots of deer in Colorado too? Well I guess it's a good thing they are scared of tractors and such! Yeah I see them quite often around here.     It is a good thing for us! What other kinds of wildlife have you come across on your hikes? I've heard Colorado has a ton of wild animals. oh yeah, turkeys, goats, bears, mountain lions.  You name it and we've got it.  That's one of the things I love about my state.  But tell me about the animals on your family farm. Wow, such a wide variety! Very cool. We mostly grow crops on the farm, but we do raise chickens and a handful of cattle. The fresh eggs and milk make it all worth it.
