AMAZINGLY AWESOME ANIMALS…AND MORE!
About three days ago my 7-year old wether sheep, Andy, had one eye closed and it looked puffy. When I inspected it further I noticed that the flesh inside his eyelid was inflamed and red. He was also tearing quite badly. He was extremely uncomfortable, not eating, and just laying around with that one eye …

I’ve seen a lot of animal love and unusual situations in the decades that I’ve been caring for and rescuing animals. I’ve experienced some really strange things, such as the time a cooper hawk hooked itself onto a rooster thinking he could consume something his size – right inside the chicken coop. Luckily, this happened …
I’ve always known there were emotional bonds that formed between chickens, I’d seen it before, two always hanging out together, while the others are just on the outskirts, forming their own bonds. But nothing was as clear as a recent event that occurred with some new chicks I adopted. A friend needed to move chickens …
The 13 baby ducklings that hatched July 4th have been adopted and have gone to another home. My heart aches. Although there are not ample words to describe the connection I felt with them – I think photos and videos might best describe their innocent journey into my heart.

Keeping ducks is probably one of the most rewarding, yet time consuming efforts I’ve had the pleasure to experience. They are adorable – they talk back – they are playful, inquisitive, and full of joy. I don’t think my life would be as happy or hilarious without their presence. But – they can be as …
I’ve not had the strength of heart to write about her, as yet. She passed away June 4th, and this place (or my heart) will never be the same. Maggie was rescued from a breeder who had her and her sister Molly (and a lot of others) crammed into a small little cat box, with …
The majority of us have had pets growing up; dogs, cats and many have had the pleasure of growing up with farm animals. We’ve felt the love and companionship and the joy of seeing that pet excited to see us when coming home. Many of us raced home to see them because in our hearts …
Motor Jr., and Mae These sweet baby ducks were hatched in my care … and they are imprinted on me. I talked to them through their shell, and they peeped back… I picked up their eggs and kissed them… cuddled them, and let them know someone was waiting for them to come out. I’m mommy …
