“Baby” Moose and his kid ❤️

Moose arrived in Nov of 2023 at just 5 months old, and he quickly found his forever home. These two have grown together and it has been a joy to watch 🥹😍

We may not save thousands of lives but I truly believe we make a difference in the ones we do.

Thank you for giving this guy such an amazing life!!! 🙏🏻

Poppy 😍

The best little buddy out there.

She is getting up and down the big hills all by herself…although sometimes she does wait to see if someone will carry or drive her…and how can you say no…🥰

She roams the property, climbs the stone wall with Little and Leon…she’s really becoming a “goat” 🥹

She really is the sweetest little critter.

She has a vet visit on Monday just to check in and see if we can be proactive as she grows.

Personally I think they will be very happy with her progress ❤️

Leon on the other hand…there’s no help for him…unless…do they Prozac for goats 🤪

We had our first break out 🙄

Little was most likely the ring leader (peep the look of disgust she throws me in the last picture as the two culprits look shocked by my angst)🤨

If I wasn’t so worried I would probably have been impressed by Rip’s ability to navigate uncharted territory as Beth played a game of catch me if you can.

He only demolished one fence…not to shabby.

Thankfully Sage and Winnie were enjoying the show and didn’t decide to just step over their fence.

And thank fully the chickens were there to make sure I cleaned up all the random p**p piles Beth left for me…

It’s a good crew of supervisors we have here…🤦🏻‍♀️

Last week we had a couple of special visitors.

Jill is Beth’s sponsor. She lives down south and makes the trek up to Mass once a year for family. Last year she was able to visit and meet Beth for the first time (she has been sponsoring for a couple of years now).

This year she did the same. She was joined by our friend Lisa(also a sponsor…she sponsored Quin for years and then Alice). They happily made the trek out, even though it was cold and raining.

I love when it feels like it comes full circle. These ladies step up everytime we save a life and they always have our back, to see them interact with those they help save brings joy to my heart.

Thank you ladies it was our honor and pleasure to have you ❤️

Winnie heard about the amazing things you people have done for her new friends and wanted to say thank you🙏🏻❤️

Winnie aka Win aka Winifred is doing great she’s such a good baby and so friendly ❤️

Win was an auction intercept straight off a Mennonite farm. She is one of the lucky ones who avoided a life of brutal work to just be discarded. Our friend Lauren at Happy Heart-Happy Home Farm and Rescue reached out to us after the loss of Luca and we couldn’t say no. Winnie is an absolute love and a pleasure to have here. Thank you to everyone who has helped her find her way to us. ❤️

You did it!!!!!!!!!

You met the match! We have raised our full goal amount of $4,800. 00.

That includes our match goal of $3,950.00!!!! 🥰🥹

Thank you so much everyone.

I know I say this a lot but I am so grateful for your help. The financial side of rescue is work is all consuming. With prices (of everything) so high, what we could do 5 years ago for $2,000 is now $4,000. I really do try to keep our fundraising efforts to the bare minimum and appreciate every penny you send our way.

Thank you for trusting me to do right by them through you. ❤️

An extra thank you to our match donor LM for this incredible opportunity. 🙏🏻

They had a great first night. Overnight they seemed settled at checks. It is pouring today and they were in the barn this morning which was nice to see.

The first few things I noticed…Bess(ie) is lame. Her right back end looks very tight. She let me pick her feet without a second thought. I didn’t see anything so we have some exploring to do.

Our sweet old man has some serious leg issues. His pasterns are dropped. We see this a lot in the old workhorses. I think his fetlock is deformed but I’m not sure so we will need X-rays. I’m also not sure if he’s just sore, stiff or what’s happening in his back end but he’s definitely off. It’s like a mild string halt but not really…how’s that for a medical opinion…Dr Jaynes would be so proud 🤦🏻‍♀️ (I added a link and some pictures for some info).
