WHAT IS HAPPENING??

Well we’ve had ourselves a crazy few days! Our livestock guardian dog, Virgil, and his Mega Cone of Shame went viral on TikTok and our following over there completely exploded. It was overwhelming, exciting, and completely unexpected. So now what?

Let’s start with a little background on the matter. You’re probably aware that we’re trying to share our lives on the farm with a community online (why else would we be making videos, right?). We’re on YouTube obviously, but we’re playing around with Instagram and TikTok as well. Well the other day Virgil went to the veterinarian for a neuter and dewclaw removal and to keep him from chewing on his stitches he was prescribed a vet cone (“The Cone of Shame” for you Disney fans). But the 30cm cone wasn’t large enough and Virgil figured out he could stretch his long legs in front of his face and nibble on his incisions that way. Thankfully the vet had a 40cm cone in stock and after another trip to their office Virgil was set.

We posted a one minute long video to TikTok to show how absurdly large this 40cm cone was. By the next morning the video was taking off and now a few days later we have well over 3 million views (closing in on 4 million) and our following has increased by almost twentyfold. WHAT?!?

It’s been a whirlwind lately and we’re so thankful to have had this moment in our homestead-documentation journey. We’re excited and grateful to see what happens next! Thank you all for watching and for subscribing, it really means the world to us!
