My biggest baby has been the bravest boy in the snow!

Mick is the one baby I worry about the most. He’s so special🧡

2024 was for sure the hardest year yet. With my partner and co-owner of the rescue away I’ve had to learn how to do a lot on my own this past year. Financially we are drained. Emotionally I feel more grateful than ever. Physically I feel like I couldn’t imagine my life being spent any other way.

Amongst the normal care of our forever residents these are some of the animals I’ve had the pleasure of caring for this past year. We’ve lost a lot due to circumstances out of our control, but at the very least it was a pleasure keeping them comfortable until it was time.

In 2025 I hope to have the opportunity to play a role in more success stories but I’m also looking forward to giving all of my love to the animals that may not have much time left.

Cheers to 2025 and whatever it has in store for our little rescue!

📣📣VOLUME UP📣📣For those of you whom don’t know Minnie’s history, when she was first surrendered she had a rough start. At the time our good friend Tricia Hawryluk let us keep her in her insulated pole barn until we could figure out what was going on with her. That’s the short story! Minne has always loved spending time with her dada!

I know it’s late in the season BUT I’m still seeing pumpkins on front porches! If you’d like to donate them to us our rescues would LOVE them❤️

Here’s some pictures from this morning of Minnie chomping and smiling because she loved her little pumpkin snackies!

We got to celebrate our boys 2 year “gotcha day” today! We originally got to bring them home on November 6th of 2022, but we wanted to wait to celebrate until their dada was home this week!

These boys are so so special to our rescue. Earl and Harvey (The Ice Cream Twins) have brought so much joy and happiness to our lives. We love them so much!

Watching these two grow up has been such a pleasure and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for them❤️💙

Minnie lays down every single evening right after I get out of the shower! So now I’m out in the pasture, sitting in p**p, and letting Minnie drool all over me while she relaxes (from her super difficult day of being a cow). 💩🐮

Tomorrow is a busy day and I truly don’t wanna forget! We’ve had our Mick for 1 year🥹

He’s older than a year but since he had such a rough life before we met him, we aren’t gunna count it. Mick’s new life and our life with Mick started 1 year ago, tomorrow. Before we brought him home he spent close to 3 weeks at New Bolton Center once he was surrendered to us, before that I’m not entirely sure.

He’s been our hardest rescue, our most stubborn, our strongest, and my favorite to snuggle with. The snuggles are rare but I think that’s why I love them so much.

If you’ve ever had the honors of meeting mick, you’ll know that he’s happiest when he’s with his big sister Minnie and no one else. As long as he has his Minnie, Mick is content.

Even though it’s been a year, Mick is still learning life as a blind steer. He wanders aimlessly into his little pasture and most of the time needs Minnie’s help to get him back to his hay, but all he has to do is call for her and if she’s not already next to him she finds him right away and leads him back.

Watching Mick grow into the steer he is now has been so rewarding. When he first came home from the hospital Mick was fighting for his life for what felt like months. I was dosing antibiotics and other medications to him several times a day. I was running him back and forth to recheck appointments in PA every few weeks. There were days when I wasn’t sure that putting him through all of it was fair. It took months for Mick’s skin and coat to regulate itself. It took months for his body condition to improve. It’s taken close to a year for him to trust me.

Remembering his rehab time with us has made me so emotional so instead of blabbering on for 2 more hours enjoy some picture of Mick over the past year.

Happy Birthday Mick Mick🧡

Ava still needs financial help! She’s staying with a foster right now and will be getting her eye procedure in 2 weeks. Anything is appreciated

08/23/2024

***SENSITIVE CONTENT***

Ava is a 6 week old kitten! She was found by a Good Samaritan in a neighborhood in Camden, de. When she was found, Ava was covered in fleas and ticks, along with maggots.

It is suspected that Ava was abandoned by her mother due to her condition. Her eyes were so infected that her left one had already began to rupture and her right eye wasn't too far behind.

We've been treating Ava's eyes and upper respiratory symptoms since 3 weeks of age. Her nasal discharge and congestion has resolved but I don't think we can do much more for her eyes. Her vet plans to preform an enucleation on her left eye in the next week or so. If her right eye doesn't continue to heal she will remove it as well.

Ava has not had any vaccines yet due to her age and condition.

Ava is FIV/FLP negative

Ava has been dewormed 2 times and has had 1 dose of revolution + for kittens

Ava currently weighs 1.9 pounds

Ava is a great eater and is working on liter training

Ava will be looking for a home following her procedure!

The money raised will hopefully cover her eye procedure, vaccines, and spay!

As always, any little bit helps💜

Got to spend my birthday with Stewart! His new family had him castrated yesterday which meant lots of snuggles and “observation” today❤️

So fortunate that there are like minded people out there to adopt our rehabbed animals! So happy for stew and his new family. Couldn’t ask for a better way to spend my birthday!

I almost forgot! Minnie is a handmade stuffed animal now. If you’d like one reach out it to Jhm creations!!

Minnie was the inspiration for this collaboration with Open Arms Farm DE. 🩵🩵 oh how we love Minnie the blind cow 🩵🩵

We said goodbye to Stewart today! He joined his forever herd with a good friend of mine. It’s always hard saying goodbye to these animals, especially after caring for them at their lowest. I know stew will have the best life with his new family (Kayla Secoy) and I’ll always have my Jhm creations Stewart stuffy to love on.

We love you Stewart! Forever and ever!❤️
