The Glewwe Family lives in Spring Lake Township of Scott County on 10 acres just south of Prior Lake, Minnesota. If you know the area, we are down near the Minnesota Horse & Hunt club and Doherty's Pub.
The current livestock includes Xena the warrior pup, Shadow the cat, and Belzebub, the love bird. Sadly, Tweetie the bird. passed on in the Autumn of 2000 and Spot the wonder dog passed on in July of 2003. Occasionally, extra animals have shared the estate on a more temporary basis. For example, new in 1999, 5 turkeys arrived and stuck around until November. So Yummy! that we got 4 more in the June of 2001. In 2002 we raised 3 ducks. Not as much meat, but tasty. In 2003, the great debate was Pheasants (Laurel) or Peacocks (Mark). The kids have put in a resounding vote for Nothing!
