The Rest of Us

The People

Paul and Katya Smyth bought what is now Second Law Farm in 2004, knowing virtually nothing about farming. Turns out Katya's love for animals, Paul's love for gardening, and our shared stubbornness, aversion to sitting still, and occasional foolishness are excellent fodder for farming. Our kids Desdemona and Stephen are fabulous assistants in the summer when they're home from school. 

Dogs & Cats

Yukon

I've just left SLF after 13 years as the elder statesman and Best Boy Ever, and it will be a while till my people can take me off the website.  I was patient, sweet and happy. I made sure to shed a lot and made everyone feel adored. 

Tallulah

I keep everyone amused and make sure the people here walk enough and that food left on the counter gets eaten. 

Percy

I'm new here and my job is to eat and snuggle and grow, but I also like to put everything I can find in my mouth. 

Chesapeake 

I keep this place elegant. 

Chainsaw 

I'm the baby (don't listen to Percy. I'm still the baby) and I sow mayhem.

Simon 

I am the sweetest cat ever. Ever.
