Coyote season!
🚨🐺Coyote season is here! 🐺🚨
Grateful for our giant puppies keeping everyone safe!
📢sound on 🐺!
It started as a normal afternoon as I brought fresh straw to the goat and sheep barn. It was 2:15 pm on Sunday in broad daylight and out of nowhere coyotes were a few hundred yards away in the woods.
Tsas (Zozzy) took off into the woods after them immediately, and was out of sight. (Pardon me yelling for him to come back.)
Winter & the other dogs were with me behind the fence.
The chilling coyote cries went out for a good hour, and it was pretty terrifying being that close and with them that loud. …And the fact that they weren’t stopping despite the fact that they had a pack of big dogs nearby!
It’s officially coyote breeding season so they are hungry and bold!
We’ve got donkeys and dogs on guard tonight let’s hope they stay away! For their own good!
Annie Prancing
A few weeks ago “Annie” the pony moved to the big horse barn at our second location in preparation for the colder weeks of winter ahead.
Anytime somebody new comes around. It causes lots of drama. Some of them get possessive, some of them fall in love.
Annie was rescued 2 years ago with what we thought was a broken hip. Her hip had been dislocated and left for quite some time and could not be fixed without surgery.
Luckily, surgery went well and she has recovered fantastically. She loves to prance around & show off.
Ponyman & Cocoa I think have fallen in love!

Martins 4yr Rescue Anniversary
💫🚨💔Today marks the 4 yr anniversary of one of our most incredible rescue stories. Please take a moment to watch the video of baby Martin that happened exactly 4 years ago today.
He was named Martin by his rescuers because of this special day that he was born on.
Martin’s mother was a goat that was sent for slaughter despite the fact that she was heavily pregnant. The stress and torture that these animals endure before they are slaughtered is ultimately heartbreaking.
Some of this video might be hard to watch, but I beg you to watch it to honor Martin and his lost family.
This video took place in downtown Chicago on January 20, 2020. This brutality happens every week and it’s happening right now as you watch this. Hundreds of animals suffer in the bitter cold for hours before they are brutally slaughtered. Their lives wasted and forgotten, reduced to nothing but a disposable commodity.
Luckily, for Martin kind good Samaritans pulled him to his safety, kept him warm & rushed him to help giving him a chance at life & freedom, They brought him to us frozen it’s just a few hours old & we took over his care, rushing him to the ER.
After 2 weeks in the ER at Purdue University veterinary Hospital & after getting multiple blood transfusions to help with his immunity, he survived! He still lives and thrives at the farm today.
There are a million different things that we can do in our lives & small sacrifices that we can make to live our lives more compassionately and cruelty free. Suffering like this only exists because we let it.

Dean meets the minis
🐴 With the last coldest 6 - 8 weeks of winter arriving we moved our littlest ancient old man, “Shadow” (the mini horse in blue jacket) and his friend “Annie” (our Pony who had hip surgery last year) to the big horse barn.
Over there they can be a little bit warmer and be able to exercise and move around in the indoor arena and stay active during these cold weeks ahead. So if you drive by and don’t see them in their pen by the street anymore, no worries they are OK! They are just on a winter vacation!
Little Jackson Dean aka “Dean” is growing fast but is huge! He’s the biggest kid in the barn at only 2.5 yrs old! He was fascinated by seeing these horses that are just so micro mini & small!
His face is so curious & cute! 🤣

Rambo and Harlow
Rambo was Harlows original babysitter.
But they quickly became best friends.
For Harlow’s first 6 months she was with us all day in and out of the barn learning to navigate her dark world focusing on her other senses.
Rambo let her be a kid and enjoy the things that all young calves like to do but safely, like play, wrestle and goof around.
I am so grateful for all of the sweet beautiful relationships that I am able to get a front row seat for here.❤️🐮🐕
🎄🐐🐏Catch up with the sheep, goats & donkeys as we hang with them while they munch on a few Christmas trees! 🐐🐏🎄
Tag
Last week it was in the 40s and 50s and we had lots and lots of rain. It was miserable.
But now that we're in the 20s & the ground is frozen, their feet aren’t stuck in the mud & everybody can start to play again!
Snow & Prince (Easter Snow Angel) & (Flat Creeks Prince) wasted no time getting into a game of tag! "Yer it!"

Piggy New Years Party
🎉🐽New Years Eve Big Pig Break Out! 🐽🎉
I tried to sneak off to “Ninja Kids” today with my kiddo for a few hours of playtime with her cousins. I should’ve known better. I am not allowed to go anywhere. Something always goes wrong when I leave! 🤣🤣
I got an emergency call about a “breakout”.
I can’t even be mad at these kids though. (I’m sure my parents got many calls about the trouble I was getting into when they weren’t home.)
It was fun watching them nonchalantly walking around exploring as I pulled up.
I came home to find 8 of the 11~ BIG PIGS - (you know the 8ft long 800lb pigs) ~ raiding the feed!
They hit the dog food, cat food, duck food and veggies. At least now I know what their favorites are! 🤣
They had a 🎉New Year’s Eve Pig Party! 🎉
Had it not been freezing cold and rainy they might not have been as willing to go home so easily! 🤣🤣
Everyone be safe tonight and have fun! Hopefully your kids don’t trash the place! 🤣🤣
