Hi friends!!! Let’s give a huge warm welcome to our newest person, Bertha!

Bertha arrived at Charles County Animal Care Center after finding herself in a tough hoarding situation. Sadly, those with this mental illness believe within their hearts that they are doing good things. I don’t get angry anymore with hoards, my heart is sad because while they may think they are doing all the good things, it’s the animals that suffer in the end and while we help the animals, there is simply not enough help out there for the humans who find themselves in these situations.

With that said, let me tell you about Bertha. I know what you’re thinking - she’s pregnant. Rest assured, she is not.

She’s. Fat.

When I say fat, I mean morbidly obese. Every bit of her jiggles. Open a bag that crinkles anywhere near this girl, and she will maul you. Okay, not literally but s**t you not, this girlfriend will put you on your ass in a minute 😂

So, Bertha is on a diet. How do we do this? We feed her what she should have - good quality hay. That’s it. No grain, no treats. She’s gonna fit in a size “normal goat” faster than she can say “snackies”!!

Other than her chubbiness, Bertha is sweet, loving, affectionate and - pushy lol

Please send all your love and skinny prayers to our new girl - she’s gonna need all the support she can get! ❤️

Welcome to the funny farm, Big Bertha, we’re so happy you’re here.

Roo is quite a fighter and even without full front legs, she can be mobile lol. Today, we finally had to contain her for the evening so she didn’t find herself in precarious situations. She’s happy and content ❤️

And this is exactly how Roo got her name 😂❤️

Yesterday was a spa day, today included a therapy session for little Roo.

Due to the leg deformities, it takes a toll on their entire body and over time, they become misaligned. Until we can discuss our prosthetic possibilities, we do stretches to hopefully straighten her legs a bit more below the hock (knee). Along with that, I cut some pipe insulation and wrapped her little legs almost up to her shoulders to give her some height to stand more upright. This will also allow for her leg muscles to stay strong. She was not in these splints long as we don’t want to create any undue pain and because this is completely new for her. But look at her go!

We will continue to do this each day for her and we are so pleased with how well she did today. This little one is gonna be a fighter ❤️

Little Roo had a spa day today! There’s no way to explain the awful smell and grunge that came off this sweet baby. Tho the smell is still there a bit (she had been peed on over and over by the bucks at the auction), the dirt IS gone and she is silky soft now. We bathed, blow dried and trimmed her back hooves and she is content. Onward and upward, little one, your life has only begun.

We had a good night, Roo slept well, got up this morning for some breakfast and The Potato stole her bed 😂. Clearly, she’s unbothered and they’ll soon be fast friends ❤️

With the craziness of yesterday, bringing Roo home, and the journey we will now be on to bring her up to weight and get her better, can we talk about Penelope sheep tho??

Look at this girl!! She came to us from the shelter after being pulled from a hoard and just look at this change! This is what some TLC, a re-feeding protocol and a whole lot of love does.

She’s perfect ❤️
