4 YEARS!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
Yes, it's been 4 years already since I started Haven! Time has flown by!
It started with just Chandler and his triplets! Now 4 years later we may have lost chandler but we've gained so many! (31 current residents!)
Everyday seeing them happy and loved brings me so much joy! Thanks everyone who has joined the Haven journey so far! 💜
Enjoy pics of our founding mothers! 🤣

Peach update.
As I've mentioned before peach has been having back/walking issues. She has seen the vet again and they now think that part of her back isn't connected properly, suspected due to her being premature. When she was little it wasn't there but as she's gotten bigger and heavier its noticeable.
Long story short Peach may reach a stage where getting up and down and moving about is to difficult and she will have to be reunited with Chandler.
I'll do everything to keep her happy and comfortable and keep trying to get her better aslong as it's not a detriment to her.
She isn't in pain I know that and she is still 100% her happy self currently.
Sorry this isn't a good update I really wish it was, Peach is my whole world, I've never met an animal like her and the thought of loosing her one day, maybe soon, is unbearable. 💔
Thankyou.

On Tuseday night, the 23rd Chandler went to bed but did not wake up. He passed peacefully in his sleep. He wasn't sick, just old, he ate his supper, got a cuddle and kiss and in the morning was gone.
He's been by my side for 11 years so it's taking some adjusting to get used to the world without him. Chandler was a founding animal of Haven and will never be forgotten. He was my wooly rock, my safe space, even if it was only 11 years of my life it feels like he has always been there.
The photos below start Chan at his oldest and travel back through the years to baby Chan.
It's loosing a member of my family and it never gets easier but I started Haven so that animals like Chandler have a family when the end comes.
Chan the man, chan-chan, Chandy, Bing man, Old man, ill see you again some day.
I Love You. 💜

Happy New year. (Late) 😅 2024 at Haven has started out rather stressful. Old chandler has lost sight in one eye and the other is going too, nothing can be done he's just old. Lil Peach has a back injury or trapped nerve, unsure but she is being treated best she can be. She is still up and walking and her happy self however, as is Chan.
The rest of the residents are doing fine. Minerva was making her bed this morning, she may be 18 and arthritic but she still like a roll in the straw 🤣💙

A huge Haven Happy birthday to the stunning(I'll be it a bit soggy) Minerva! 💜 18 years young! She enjoyed some birthday snacks and kisses. 🤣 Its my honor to have met this old lady and give her a retirement she fully deserves! 💜

25/12/2023

Merry Christmas from all at Haven! Everyone enjoyed a yummy Christmas snack today and Peach got attacked by a reindeer. 🤣 she swiftly ejected him from his seat and had a new bow. 🥰

13/12/2023

Frosty morning traffic jams. 🤣 The march for food. 😋💜

Peaches first snow and snowman! 😍 I'm so lucky every day to have such a wonderful wee floof! 🥰🥰

30/11/2023

A frosty morning for this handsome boy 😍🥰

Can't go anywhere without the dog. 🤣🥰

THE FINAL BOTTLE OF MILK! 😱😱 What a journey, from giving her 250ml an hour, to getting 2 liters a feed and now off milk. 🥺 I'm So proud of my little monster for fighting so hard and so thankful to have her. 🥰 NOW the 'terrible twos' era begins 😅🤣

05/11/2023

Ooh look at this handsome man! The herd are in thier winter fields now, Cooper because his horns are too big to get in the feeder is now on his own so he doesn't have to use a ring feeder and honestly he is very happy about it 🤣🤣 fun fact from tip to tip of his horns it's just over 2 ft! 😮

29/09/2023

Look at these two! 😍 Since it's wet and getting colder Chandler now lives in the garage and garden with Peach. 🥰 They saw the vet today also and both have great health! 🥰

*BING B**G!* RESDIDENT ANNOUNCEMENT!
Say hello to Havens newest resident, the stunning Minerva! Who is also now Havens oldest resident! (Sorry Harriet) 🤣 Minerva is 17 years old and in just a few months 18! 😱 As you can see she loves her apples and basically eats anything that stands still long enough 🤣🥰

20/09/2023

Norah and Bell must have been cold, they had themselves tucked into bed when I got home from work. I just left thier supper at the door and snuck away🤣 🐖🐖

18/09/2023

Some little wriggly bu**ers were hitching rides on some of the girls! That awful very wet and very warm weather last week! But lucky it was caught early and no real damage was done...to thier skin, thier wooly coats on the other hand ...let's just say I'll never be a hair stylist. 🤣🤣

16/09/2023

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COOPER! The most handsome boy in the world! 😍😍 3 already! The years are flying by! 🥰

13/09/2023

Came home from work to a drowned rat on my doorstep 😅 🤣 She has access to her bed but I know that she knows that if she gets wet she gets a towel dry. 🤣🤣

12/09/2023

See Luna this is what happens when I'm trying to refresh Cooper with the halter and you bully him. 🤣🤣

31/08/2023

Cooper serving handsome in the sun! 😍🥰 He's such a gentle giant. 💜 and thank goodness with those antlers. 🤣

19/08/2023

Gone are the days of feeding her 250ml every hour and the many many many sleepless nights for me. 😅 my baby can drink a whole litre in one go now 💜 Peach is growing up...just not in size 🤣🤣💜

16/08/2023

When Peach met her sister Nikita for the first time. ❤💜

*BING B**G* RESDIDENT ANNOUNCEMENT!

OKAY! I've kept this secret long enough! Everyone, meet Peach!
For the past 3 months this little cutie has been living in my house (moved to the garage last night)🤣
Peach's mumma had an infection in her womb which stunted Peaches growth, and even though she was carried to full term she came out like she was 6 weeks early. 😱
The first month was very difficult she tried to die every other day and I don't think I slept that whole month.😅 Her lungs were bad and her immune system was basically not there.
BUT now 3 months on she is doing very well. Doubled in size (but is still smaller than an average new born calf) 🤣
The first picture under the towel is the day she was born and the last was just the other day. She likes her piggies...not so much the goats but I don't even think the goats like each other 🤣🤣
Peach is very special. 💜

13/07/2023

Wooly update! I've been so bad posting the last month my bad. 💜
The woolies became less wooly over that period! They are much more comfortable! Look at that skinny old man though! 😅😂 They are all doing very well and are very happy! 💜

15/06/2023

Toy rating 1/10. There is nothing to eat. 🤣🤣

13/06/2023

Naughty piggies sneaking out 🤣 Those goats are a bad influence! 🐐🐐🐖🐖

13/06/2023

It's the triplets birthday! (Yesterday😅😇) 2 years old and so pretty! 😍 Anne, Denali and Lenore! 🥰 Now would just be nice if they could get their wooly coats off. 😠

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COOPER! The most handsome boy in the world! 😍😍 3 already! The years are flying by! 🥰

Such a smart puppy heading to bed and turns to wait on her bottle. I didn't even teach her that she just does it. 🤣 Nikita is a very smart youngster. 🥰

Just no privacy around here 🤣🥰 The herd saw me walking around doing chores and came to say good morning. 😍

I just love to sit and watch them play in the sun! The floof clan do love a run and play! And just Kimmy munching away next to me the whole video 🤣

Nom nom nom! Just open the back door and Nikita is standing waiting for supper! 🥰 She is so cute!

BING BONG* New resident announcement!! Say Hello to the gorgeous Nikita. 😍 she is a fireball of energy and has rather active vocal cords 😅🤣 She likes Food, food and yeah food. 🤣 she is just 3 days old! Welcome to Haven Nikita! 💜

Just can't get anywhere at a good speed. 🤣🤣 you think they would be moving faster to the feeder. 🙄

Was walking up the lane to the sheds this morning and met the herd half way...Needless to say that is not where they were meant to be 😅🤣 Harriet (and I know it was her) popped the wire off and lead them to freedom. 🤣 All they had to do was wait 30 minutes and they would have been fed, so impatient. 🤣

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COOPER!!!! The terrible 2's are here! 😅 and he is defiantly acting his age! 😇

These are the moments. 🥰😍 Boudica and dad time. 💜

Hehe "Whale Ho!" 🤣 Ursula is just 4 legs and a head stuck on a ball of fluff. Come the 27th of April I think we might be getting 3 baby Ursula's 😅 she is getting to the point I can tell she is regretting her decisions! 🤣🤣

Just Iris being Iris.🤣🤣😍😍

100 likes! 😱 Thank you so much to everyone who has liked the page so far! 🥰 It gives me immense joy to give these animals a happy care free life and share that with everyone! ❤ Haven's 3 little trouble makers are jumping for joy from all the love and attention! 🤣💜
