ā˜€ļø Happy Friday, Friends!! ā˜€ļø

This week at The Wish, we had the pleasure of welcoming not one, but TWO, awesome groups of from ESI - Empowering & Supporting Individuals!!

These two summer programs get to enjoy local experiences, even assisting with volunteer projects when the need arises! There were smiles all around with both groups as they met some old friends here and, of course… made some new ones, too!

We are thankful for the exceptional work done by Monday’s group in getting the initial coat of paint on our chicken coop… it was definitely in need of a refresh, so this was a great first Momo step in that process!

As you know, this summer is a busy one here at The Wish. We have a lot of lofty goals in need of accomplishment prior to the winter weather hitting. The good news is, we are offering you all the opportunity to assist in those goals! Next weekend, we are hosting a ā€œWorking Weekendā€ for anyone who might be interested in lending a hand. We will have plenty of projects for all skill levels. Be on the lookout for a sign up form to be posted in the coming days! We hope to see y’all real soon, right here at …

For anyone who’s been following this crazy journey of ours for even a hot minute… perhaps y’all remember last year about this time when we (read, ā€œI, Tonyaā€) foster failed the crap out of Bruce.

Wellllll…. Let’s just say it’s gettin’ a bit questionable around here again, friends! So, with that being said… these little cuties will be listed for adoption this week.

As much as we’d like to keep Smokey Joe (female), Charlie Horse (male), Tiny Tuna Fish (male) and Tator Tot (female)… The Wish is already home to five barn cats. These little ones will make lovely additions to their new homes… they’re healthy, happy, litter trained and … spunky as all get out!

You know what that means…. More to come soon, from…

"Don't mind me, friends... just over here taking some inventory and making notes of any needed supplies."

As the OG of the goat herd here at The Wish, Felix has been hard at work the last couple of days making a WISH List for Amazon Prime Days which start tomorrow (July 8) and go through Friday (July 11)!

He's pretty darn proud of his work too... he was sure to think of ALL of his friends and family and ensure there is a little something for everyone! (** Although, spoiler alert... his favorite item on the list is of course, animal crackers!).

If you happen to be going to the Amazon (as the Do-Da would say) this week and would like to send a special gift our way, Felix said he promises to share with EVERYONE! And, not that he's not trustworthy, but we'll be sure everything is distributed appropriately upon arrival!

Thanks, everyone... as always, we appreciate your support!

Happy 249th Birthday to the United States of America!! What an honor it is to celebrate this great nation we get to call home!

Although our manner of celebration has certainly changed over the most recent years, one thing’s for certain… we’ll always make the most of this day; one of our favorites of the year.

Today was a visit from a long time friend and his girlfriend from Norway!!! Next up was lots of hard work, including planting pumpkins, cleaning all water tanks, pruning flowers and… hangin’ with the turkeys and kittens.

It might not be the typical 4th of July celebration, but that’s the beauty of this nation…. We got to celebrate just the way we wanted to, and we hope y’alldid as well! šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

Proud Mama moment right here, friends… Cliffy merch is officially in da house!

Never seen a little goat (or a Mama) so proud… you deserve all these orders, and then some, Buddy.

** Local orders are ready for pick up! And shipped orders… probably in hands by now!

Bless y’all for making our special boy feel so very loved…. This one’s real hard on the heart, in sooo many ways. 🄹

The Wish feels a bit emptier today... and our hearts do as well.

I need y'all to reminisce with me waaaay back to last July when we welcomed the two most handsome gents ever, Ted and Garth. We were asked to take them in when their Mom made the decision to no longer manage the barn they were being boarded at. Thankfully, the transition went well, and the boys acclimated quickly... and stole a few hearts (human and four legged) along the way as well, of course! I mean... it was quite literally impossible NOT to fall in love with them.

In the next few months, Ted and Garth became well known residents here at The Wish... Garth for his beautiful blue eyes and LOUD attention seeking neigh (okay, it wasn't even a "neigh", but there are LITERALLY no other words to describe the noises he managed to generate!), and Ted for his stylish haircut and cunning personality! We took them to several events; the most memorable, of course, being when they stole the show at the Sturgeon Bay Christmas parade where we won second place for best float!

Unfortunately, this spring, we began to notice that Garth didn't seem to be feeling well. He'd lost some weight, he was chewing more slowly and soon, he became lethargic and weak as well. We were able to get him into Veterinary Associates but unfortunately learned that we were too late. Garth had severe infections in his mouth due to some teeth issues and despite their best efforts, he passed away on April 17.

This spring was INCREDIBLY rough for us as we dealt with several losses in a very short amount of time... most of which we haven't even had the heart to share yet. And so, in the midst of the pain we were barely navigating through, we found the only way to cope was to retreat. It's not that the loss of any animal is insignificant or does not cause a severe emotional impact... it's just that sometimes, we can only handle so much. We are still humans; humans who pour their heart and soul into the care of every animal that resides here. So, we cope the only way we know how. We bottle up our many emotions, and we carry on ... as we must, knowing that all losses leave behind a mourning family that needs us.

In the aftermath of Garth's loss, his Mom decided she wanted Ted closer to her family where they could see him more often. And so, yesterday, Ted was moved to his new home. He is now in a beautiful boarding facility where he will be well taken care of and well loved. But even still... seeing him walk on to that trailer hurt just as badly as any other loss here has.

Ted and Garth will always be remembered as family members here at The Wish. They will always be a part of our journey and our story... and their memories will live on here for years to come.

If you were lucky enough to meet Ted and Garth and have any photos or stories to share, we would love to hear them. We miss them both terribly, but again ... be strong we must, as we move along in our journey.
