Well, the big booms from all around will be plentiful tomorrow. Though most are pretty good about it there are some newbies here and those that get startled easily. Heck, we do too! Desensitizing isnā€™t always a thing. They have no idea itā€™s a holiday. Unlike weather, they cannot sense it approaching. Itā€™s a loud, out of the blue noise and we have no way of letting them know in advance itā€™s coming. Regardless, itā€™s happening no matter our feelings about it.

So, how do we prepare?

We have found the key is DISTRACTION and volume up! Radios get cranked, fans on high, inside- TV on and AC going. We provide lots of free choice feed to keep them busy and most importantly- frequent checks! We bounce between indoor and outdoors to make sure everyone is settled in okay. Usually after the booms have been going for a few minutes everyone settles in, if they even notice. Animals are individuals and no different than us. We all handle loud, chaotic noises and sights differently.

We do our best to help those under our care but of course we still worry for our wild friends who suffer and our fellow humans who have difficulty with fireworks. We DO wish all a happy 4th.

Be kind and be safe!

šŸ˜© feeling like such a bad ā€œparentā€!

Honey turned the big 2 1 in June and we totally spaced it!!! Honey has been at the sanctuary for over 10 years now. She has aged with grace, thatā€™s for sure. Though her teeth donā€™t work like they used to, she sure loves her soaked forage and grain. She is exceptional at sharing with her roomies and is kind to all of her friends. She does however tend to be impatient when it comes to fresh shavings. We seldom get the chance to spread them out before she jumps in the pile to roll.
Sheā€™s still sharp as a tack. She alarms at every squirrel, cat, hawk, branch blowing in the wind etc. šŸ¤£

All that said, every day is a blessing and we are grateful that she is still here with us. We are forever thankful to see her enjoying her golden years to the fullest.
Happy 21st birthday, dear Honey!!!

Myth- BUSTED

There is in fact a little cleaning fairy that will come and pick up after you. All the parents out there were wrong, according to Bo anyway. Heā€™s pretty excited about this discovery. šŸ’ā€ā™€ļø

Good morning from one of our favorite moo munchkins, Hazel!

She says thank you to all who have helped keep her munchies at bay. The hay we got yesterday was exactly the brand she was craving. Shes a self proclaimed food critic /hay connoisseur after all. šŸ˜‚

Guess what we did today?!
Between trying to keep everyone as comfortable as possible in this heat and maintaining our own physical awareness, we got more hay! Doesnā€™t matter the temps. With all the rain we have had, any stretch of dry weather means hay weather. These big bales will be going to the cows and the main equine paddock. itā€™s gorgeous hay!

Not gonna lie, the trip to VT to grab this load was a welcome break. Windows down and to just sit and rest our bones, even if for a short time.

On that note, what are the chances we can raise $600 to cover this load? Any bit helps and every bit keeps bellies full and happy! šŸ«¶

Seamus says good morning!

Seamus is one of the 3 seniors that came to sanctuary last year. You may recall the passing of his best bud, Carl. Seamus and I have become quite close. We spent a lot of extra time with him knowing that he was taking Carls passing hard. He is a shy guy and allows everyone else to go before him. His confidence is building but heā€™s still our little ā€œshadowā€ and thatā€™s a okay! Heā€™s one of the kindest, sweetest souls we have ever had the pleasure of caring for. You can really see it in his eyes, canā€™t you?

Wishing all a wonderful week!

Anise has no shame and she wonā€™t be shamed (trust us). If thereā€™s one thing she absolutely will not share, is her side of the hay feeder. This girl is THE queen of setting boundaries. And boy oh boy, you better respect that boundary šŸ¤£

Who are we? What makes us different?

Nestled back in the woods of Fitzwilliam New Hampshire is a small sanctuary and farm. A sanctuary and home for misfits. Home to the handicapped, ill, senior, orphaned or otherwise ā€œunadoptableā€ farm animals. Our family, human and animal, work as a team to build and maintain our home. Our sanctuary. Our farm. Our homestead. We let nature, our instincts, our natural drive contribute to the creation of a self sustaining, functional and beautiful piece of earth we call home.

We as a family have been dedicated to this cause. Magzalea started in 2002 with the start of our family. All expenses paid by our day jobs. As our animal family grew we in turn outgrew our original home and farm of 13 years. In 2015 we moved to 93 acres with a rundown house. Since, we have been clearing land, building fences, and rebuilding the sanctuary. We went Non Profit last year, 501c3. Though the majority of the expenses are still coming out of our pockets, we have had great support from our friends far and wide. We raise funds through our homemade products, candles, soaps, salves, and other natural necessities. Along with fundraising activities. We host a community gathering monthly at our work shop- Farmer/Homesteader Group Therapy. Here, we chat about things we have learned, bring questions and pick each others brains. No agenda, very open, friendly and fun!
