COVE IS ONE YEAR OLD TODAY 🖤🎂🤘🐮✨😭❤️🩹🥹 His life is so special, he is so truly special. To everyone that has supported him, helped save his life, donated, helped me with his care or given advice, shared or sent kind words, sent prayers or any healing energy, followed his journey, and all other kind gestures and actions - thank you from the bottom of Cove and I’s hearts. #cows #cowsmakemehappy #animalrescue #microsanctuary #babycow
Happy Gotcha day to our beloved Rocky 🖤🖤 the dog that changed our lives (for better, and for wild amounts of stressful accommodations, lol). Rocky was rescued by a family in NW PA from a backyard breeder; He was chained outside for his entire (short) life until that point, and they did amazing work getting him healed and trying to find him a home. He was potentially going to be a foster here, until we realized the extent of his reactivity and trauma. Rock only has three humans in his life, me and my parents; i’m very grateful they both immediately cared for him and were understanding, especially my dad who is Rocky’s favorite person - i’m the spare human, and my mum is the backup human, lol but he loves us and all of his animal friends. I’ve never cared for an animal that is so fear aggressive towards humans (especially men), and cannot go to the vet without a muzzle and sedation (forever indebted to our vet who is beyond empathic to Roch). We make sure he is always safe, always happy, and continue to make his life the best possible even though it might look different than most dogs. I’ve learned immense patience, understanding, and a realistic view at the world because of Rock - and my dad has gained more empathy than I’ve ever seen from him. We all love Rocket so much, and I wish I could share him more with the world; I wish all our friends could meet him (but if anyone is brave enough to hang out with us {safely not up close} while I walk Rocky {with muzzle and halters, and i’m strong broad so no worries}, I would love u forever! lmao… he always needs more exposure, honestly). Thanks to everyone for the kind words about Rocky over the years, it means a lot that people care about him - the dog that I’ve been told needs to be “put down because he’s useless and dangerous.” I hope one day in my life I can help more reactive dogs, and I truly admire and appreciate every single person that takes on that responsibility and sees the individu
Finn inspecting the new tunnel system in their bedroom. He will be submitting his full report this evening with findings and observations. ❤️🩹My boy is doing better health wise, so grateful. But we go back to the vet soon for an ultrasound recheck of both him and Star. Reminder to bun caregivers that calcium sucks. #rabbits #animallovers #microsanctuary #bunnies #friendsnotfood
Star and Finn, green leaf lettuce asmr ? 🐇🥬🐇 radicchio is the all time favorite here (awesome low calcium green), but they enjoy some green and red lettuce to shake things up. ❤️🩹🐰Finn is recovering very well, we have a follow up appointment with the specialist in about two wks, but he seems to be doing better and has tolerated his meds well-ish (I don’t blame him). Poor kiddo is molting like crazy right now, so I’ve been bothering him even more for pluck and brush sessions. thanks for the Finn love and well wishes! #rabbitlife #animallover #microsanctuary #rabbit #animalrescue
baby COVE is almost a year old 🖤 - this vid is from 27 March 24, he had only been home from Cornell’s animal hospital for about a week, so happy and ecstatic to be home and (not) resting. here Covie was in his quarantine stall in the garage, which Richard helped me build and alter for Covie. I slept in here next to Covie most nights listening to our cds, mainly fleetwood mac and vivaldi, but he is a lil hardcore boy. baby Cove was at Cornell for over a month getting TPN and around the clock care for an umbilicus infection, rotavirus, coronavirus, contracted tendons, and awaiting abdominal surgery…still in debt to cornell lol. after getting home through all the health challenges and arising struggles, Cove was still so loving, trusting, and determined. his PT was incredibly difficult just from my end, so I can’t imagine what this kiddo truly endured - but through it all, the zoomies were prevalent and beautiful, whether he stumbled or glided. thank you @behindyourmilk for seeing Covie for who he was, saving his life, and never giving up on him.🐄🩵 #calf #animalrescue #cows 🎸Audio: Mistakes like Fractures by @knockedloosehc

Cove!!! He’s ridiculous, too funny and too smart 🖤 Poor boy developed an abscess last week that we’ve been dealing with, he can’t catch a break, but once again he is such a strong lil punk. And thankfully our local vet is super helpful and sweet! Grateful for that. Cove was supposed to meet the Boys last Sunday, as long as he continues healing well, hopefully this Sun or soon. 🖤🐮🖤 Thanks so much to everyone for the awesome & compassionate support we’ve received lately, with both baby Cove and our nonprofit status - it means a lot to us!🥹 Promise to post more photos of our other residents - but had to share this, hehe.
