As much as our hearts hurt with the loss of Arthur and Adonis recently, there's also more than plenty of love and happiness around here.

This is Skylar and Everly earlier tonight at bedtime. Skylar came to us from All Species Kinship (A.S.K.) and immediately formed a bond with our sweet Roxie. One of them laid two eggs and they shared nesting duties.

In the middle of their 3 weeks of nesting, we added Everly to our family (we still need to do a formal intro for her). She and Skylar were immediately smitten with each other and they "evicted" poor Roxie.

They have since both laid two eggs each and split time faithfully nesting on their four feggs. It's been such a sweet love to witness. 💕

A few weeks ago when letting the boys out for the day, Arthur was obviously not doing well. We held and comforted him as he passed away in our arms a short time later. 😭

Arthur came to us a little over a year ago along with his heavily bonded friends Axton and Avery. They were originally part of the massive rescue three years ago by Good Sprout Rescue and Sanctuary from a restaurant in NE Ohio. From there they went to live out their lives at a sanctuary in PA. However, late last year the husband passed away and she needed to rehome all of those in their care. We gladly took them in along with two other survivors, Aspen and Abel.

Everyone has done great but about 6 months ago we noticed a very quick growing mass on his belly/chest. We took him to the vet to confirm and she could feel multiple tumors. There was nothing we could do and the plan going forward was to basically not tell him he has cancer and let him live out his days.

That was in June. He was doing so well up until a few days leading up to his eventual passing. We knew a decision was forthcoming. But he had other plans and went out on his own terms, just like the brave fighter he is.

We hate his life was cut so short, but we are so happy the last part of his life was filled with nothing but love. Please keep Axton and Avery in your thoughts as these three were so close, with Arthur being their leader. We all love and miss you, Arthur! ❤️

Our hearts are broken as we found our beloved Adonis had unexpectedly passed away when we were getting the boys out for the day Friday morning. 💔

Adonis became a part of our family in April 2024 after Good Sprout Rescue and Sanctuary rescued him along with other domestic ducks from a park in PA. They were able to rescue some of their other friends previously in February and we welcomed Atticus from that group. These two were separated for a couple of months and quickly found each other once they were reunited here. They had been inseparable ever since. That's what makes Adonis' passing even more heartwrenching. 😭

We're keeping a close eye on Atticus and he seems to be doing ok, hanging out with his two other Cayuga friends, Lucian and Lazarus. But he keeps looking for Adonis in their normal hang out spots. 😔 While their inseparable bond will never be replaced, we are happy that he has other friends to help mend his broken heart. 💔

One of these is not like the others 🤔 😁 🥰

Witnessing Mavis and Maverick's unconditional love firsthand is such a true blessing. 🥰

They are out and about actually spending time together for the next week before Mavis lays her next eggs and they go back to their nesting duties (on their replaced fake eggs).

I took the opportunity for a little photoshoot. 😍

What more do you need than these two snuggled down at your feet?!! 🥰 💞

Look at the perfectly handome "Baby Apples"!! Calvin, Carter, Clyde, and Calbert all grown up! 😍

Thank you, Hope Valley Farm Duck Rescue and Sanctuary, for saving these beautiful boys. 💚

These photos came up on my personal page as a memory from three years ago when we adopted Hendricks from Oinking Acres Farm Rescue & Sanctuary.

A couple of the pictures are definitely bittersweet because they include four of our boys that sadly passed away throughout 2023. RIH Hollis, Humphrey, Henry, and the one who started it all, Harley. ❤️

It is humbling to look back three short years ago when our drake sanctuary first began. Little did we know what it would become. We are so thankful and blessed for the "Drakes of Our Lives". 🥰

Last weekend, my wonderful co-pilot Gracie and I took another road trip to Michigan to pick up these beautiful boys from Hope Valley Farm Duck Rescue and Sanctuary. She saved them as a group of 24 Silver Appleyards, 12 hens and 12 drakes, at only 8 weeks old.

The drakes are obviously the most difficult to find homes for. We wanted to help her free up space for more rescues as much as we were able. Thank you for saving these beautiful boys and their siblings!!

Welcome Clyde, Calvin, Calbert, and Carter. They are our baby Apples and we love them so!! ❤️
