Lemon's Hope Sanctuary

Those who have been to the sanctuary likely will remember Puck, our extremely friendly and good natured cat. We said goobye to him yesterday. He was 20 years old and had spent his entire life with us. We will miss him always.

Diablo and Angel are adapting to life as adoptive brothers. Last night I found them hanging out peacefully together in an open stall. As the weather is now icy and cold, I am providing them with more novel things to engage with inside. In this case, some old packaging with hay pellets scattered inside. Another benefit to this sort of enrichment is to help Diablo with his startling in relation to sudden noises and movements. Love these boys.

Me and Diablo, the new mini. He’s a serious sweetheart.

New resident, Diablo. A bit scared of sudden changes in the environment and wary of new people. He’s figuring it out with long-time resident, Angel.

Pretty sure they’re talking about how great things are going to be when Kamala Harris wins the election.

It’s rainy here today. The sheep went straight up to the horses’ run in, where there also happens to be tasty hay to munch. Also, that day when the lady put hay over the fence and Gina walked around with it on her back for awhile 🙂

We added a pile of sand to the “track” of our horse, sheep and goat area, mostly thinking the horses might roll or rest in it. But the one who seems to get the most out of the new substrate is Lemon the goat, who rubs and rests in it the most frequently of any of the animals. 🤷‍♀️

Fall is the in the air. After a mostly hot and humid summer—very unlike Vermont—there’s a chill in the air already.

A first close meeting of Angel and Henri went very well.

Long faces looking cute. ❤️

Some recent pics. H & C like eating the hay directly from the bales, lol. Hope enjoys a back scratch and Angel gets snacks from a dog feeder toy.
