Urgent- Wildlife Compression

If you live adjacent to any of the local fires (within 5-10 miles) you’ll likely see wildlife compression. Adult animals capable of fleeing fires will do so. Here’s some tips:

- keep companion animals INSIDE. When letting them outside check yards CAREFULLY for wildlife

- leave water out. SHALLOW bowls of water should be available both down low (ground) and 3-4 feet off the ground but near trees.

- set dog/cat food and unseasoned veggies outside for emergency sustenance

- be kind. Animals may be injured, muddled, they may have lost their offspring, their mates and their homes. Don’t be an as**at if they get into something they shouldn’t. Empathy is the least you can give and it costs nothing.

- injured or potentially injured animals may need help and supportive care. Www.ahnow.org to find help.

- remember to use thick gloves and towels/blankets when capturing or handling wildlife. If a RVS species scratches or bites you it more than likely will be destroyed and tested, so be careful.

***the rules don’t change in a natural disaster, don’t feed, keep warm and quiet. What may change is the need to get them to help immediately. With potential smoke inhalation damage , burns or heat exhaustion we need animals brought to help quickly. Don’t give us drama about transport. Get into the car and get them where they need to go. If you don’t have transportation FIND IT. Post online, use all social media platforms, call family, friends and neighbors, even coworkers to get help.

The community has to pull together.

For those that may not know, these fires are dangerously close to my home. I’ve started pre-evacuation prep just in case. By 5pm today I will have updated the wishlists to reflect some current needs. I’ll post the links once they are updated.

I’d also like to send thanks to Jo Daniels for taking the raccoons currently in care. I’m already not fully functional and one less species to care for is very helpful. Thanks to Diane for making the long drive to Tammy as well.

I’ll keep everyone as up to date as possible. I don’t expect to have to evacuate but if I do, it will be a real challenge to execute without help. As always, thanks for your continued support during these crazy days.

This is an App that will help everyone know where Florida’s fires are. Just another layer so that we can remain aware

Alright, confession time: Jane and I were reminiscing over lunch today and realized something terrifying…

We miss you Two Timer’s

The ones who treated our shop like personal therapy, the ones who argued the price of air (literally, once), and the ones who left us with stories that still make us question our life choices.
Closed since 2019, but the trauma bonding? Timeless.

Cue the flashbacks: laughs, tears, questionable decisions, and at least one person who thought “no shirt, no shoes, no service” was a suggestion

So hit us with your best/worst/funniest memory from the glory days. Bonus points if it involves us blushing, face-palming, or both at the same time.
We’re ready. (Sort of.) 😅

The upper respiratory disease commonly referred to as strangles is caused by Streptococcus equi subsp equi. Strangles is spread from horse to horse through direct contact. Horses can also contract the disease by coming into contact with contaminated surfaces. The disease is highly infectious.

The comments!!!

Today has got to be in the top ten weirdest days . A neighbor left me a letter and a bottle of cooking garlic powder on my doorstep . The letter read : please control your spotted horse’s vulgar displays of sexuality, and please find God.
I sat there for over a minute re-reading the note and then took a quick sniff of the garlic powder . Yep that’s garlic . OK everyone put your drinks down and strap in, I’m going to try to make sense of all of this.
Said spotted horse would be Murphy . Murphy is a stallion so yeah he has p***s . He is VERY proud of that . Throughout the day he will let it all hang out while staring lovingly into our mare Mariah’s eyes . The look on his face screams “don’t act like you’re not impressed! If I were a Starbucks drink I would be a Trenta size“ Murphy also lets his 🍆 hang out if he gets too warm or is falling asleep . Now that we have the horse details out of the way let’s talk about my neighbor . She does not even live on our private road, and was technically trespassing to even be able to see the horses . I am sorry that you saw Murphy’s wang, and I am sorry it offended your delicate sensibilities . Technically you walked into his space . Honestly lady you are lucky you did not see more ie.belly tapping .
Ok, let’s focus on the garlic powder and note my neighbor left me . What the actual fudge lady ! Do you think I’m a vampire? Do you think Murphy’s p***s is a vampire? I don’t get it . And go find God ? I mean seriously , am I supposed to go to confessional? Excuse me, father my horse‘s p***s has sinned ?????
The whole thing is so weird . A friendly reminder to all: When you go to farms you are going to see farm things. Animals do not think like us. Please do not humanize their behaviors. Ok rant over . I think I’m going to go make some garlic bread! 🥖kidding ! I threw the garlic away .
