Just a little appreciation post for our best boy! He has been through it all! He puts up with every new animal we bring home, he loves our kids and all of our animals, he is curious and gentle. He has such good manners (most of the time) and has been loyal and patient! We sure do love our first rescue, Gilligan!
If you’re noticing his knotty elbow, he was picked up as a stray. His leg was snapped as a puppy and he was dumped. Unfortunately it was not repairable, but he hasn’t let it stop him from being the goodest boy! We fostered him for months before he was cleared for adoption. 3 years later he is the most happy, spoiled and loved boy ever! We actually went to the rescue for another dog, got there and the kennel tech walked past with this d***y, long legged puppy. I turned to the lady at the desk and said I wanted to foster him. It was a done deal! We knew he would forever be a part of our family!

We added 4 adorable little paws and the cutest little butt ever to the farm this week! Meet Dolly the cowboy corgi! She will get to help on the farm! Did you know cattle dogs and corgis are highly intelligent and driven animals? They need jobs! She may be small but she is going to be a big help as she gets older! We are so excited about this little bundle of sweetness! ❤️

A few snapshots from around the farm! We’ve been busy at work moving tanks, building custom enclosures, upgrading fencing, spring cleaning the outside enclosures, building raised garden beds to grow our own produce for our animals, setting up my design studio and woodshop and cleaning up the property! The days are long and exhausting, but we are working towards a sustainable farm and lifestyle. We want our kids and our animals to have the best lives possible! I think they are pretty happy with the life they have! ❤️

A very big thank you to Cuadra Pediatric Dentistry for Inviting our little “zoo” out to their carnival day! We had such a great time doing our first meet and greet with some of our animals. Being able to share our love of animals is such a blessing! We are excited to continue expanding our farm and offering more opportunities for people to meet the animals and learn about caring for the many types of animals we have! If you are in the market for a pediatric dentist in the Tiffin area, I highly recommend Cuadra Pediatric Dentist. The staff is absolutely amazing! The office has such a fun vibe. It is so inviting and relaxing. Go check them out of Facebook and give them a like!

The bond between a human and an animal can be such a beautiful thing! Establishing trust and respecting boundaries is a must! We are passionate about educating ourselves and others about how to respect animals and read their body language. I’m so grateful to all of our animals for trusting us to be their owners/providers. ❤️

Lots of excitement on the farm this weekend! Installing posts for the new fencing, putting together our portable pens, using some supplies we had laying around to make raised garden beds and clearing out this old garage to turn it into the animal barn! We love using the resources we have to recycle and repurpose! Our little Homestead is coming along, and we are getting closer to fulfilling our dream of a sustainable farm lifestyle

I didn’t want to be the one to say it… but one of these things is not like the others… I guess you can be whoever you want to be…even if it’s a chicken!

A little quality time on the farm. We purchased new upgraded fencing to replace the temporary fencing and expand their enclosure! Soon their “new” barn will be ready and they will have their obstacle course set back up! Quinn can’t wait to race the goats across the giant spools!

Pip has made his way to a smaller outside pen. Soon he will transition to the big pen! He’s my favorite little snotty boy! 🐽🐷❤️

Today’s episode of adventures with Quinn involved her trying to ride Rick. He is such a chill guy! He’s used to all of her shenanigans! She wasn’t able to successfully ride him and no one was hurt. But the animals had fun chasing Quinn around the farm!
We are excited that we were able to purchase upgraded fencing today and will be expanding their enclosure to cover more space and have better fencing! Rick was the first animal we took in on the farm, which led to bringing Gary and rowdy (brothers) home to keep Rick company! The goats have a pretty cool obstacle course made from all recycled items! We strive to recycle and reuse items on the farm! Kids love coming and running the course with the goats! As summer approaches we will be setting things back up for them to have plenty of enrichment!

Is it still a pig pile if the pig is is covered in chickens? Luke is getting along great with the chickens.

Gary the goat has no idea he’s a goat. We lovingly refer to the goats as barn dogs! Gary has been head butted a few too many times! There’s not a whole lot going on up there! He sure is a cutie though! ❤️

Our house is always a busy little zoo! We love our babies whether they have fur, feathers or scales, planned or unplanned!

Have you ever heard of a tegu? They are monitor lizards that come from South America. Juju is a Argentine black and white tegu measuring in at 37.5 inches long! He’s a bit smaller than other tegus due to having scoliosis. Juju developed scoliosis from not having proper care and too small of an enclosure. (Don’t worry, we built him a custom enclosure to provide him with all of his needs!) scoliosis doesn’t slow him down! He has a noticeable hump on his back and curve to his spine, but he gets around great! Juju occasionally goes by the Alias Quasimodo (quasi). He loves eggs, shrimp and chicken. Tegus are omnivores, but we are still working on getting him to eat all his veggies!
Did you know tegus don’t chew their food? They use their large string jaw to break their food and swallow it while! Keep an eye out for more posts and videos of feeding time!

Everyone’s favorite piglet, Pipsqueak! It’s true, he’s the cutest little pig you’ll ever meet! He loves snuggling in a warm blanket and napping all day. Pip may be small now but he will reach approximately 200+ pounds as an adult. He is a kunekune/ Idaho pasture pig cross that was the runt of his litter and needed some extra TLC. He’s getting all the love he can handle on our little farm!

Where there are goats there is mischief! Gary is always looking for ways to make you laugh in hopes that you’ll find him cute enough to feed him snacks. Gary loves blueberries! He’s a master escape artist!

Meet Luke the potbelly pig! His family was moving into town and unfortunately couldn’t take him, so after many people contacted us to take him, we met up with his family and brought him back to join ours! Luke loves fruits and veggies and butt scratches!
