Today we said bye to our sweet Marvin. Him and his twin have always been known as ”the babies” even at 3 years old, they never outgrew being the babies. He was such a sweet boy and him and his twin brother have been attached at the hip since day one, it was hard to find a picture without them both together. Unfortunately he broke his hip and our local vet was not able to perform the surgery that would have been needed. Our only option would have been to take him several hours away to the college hospital down in Oregon but even then they were very unsure on the quality of life after surgery and with it being the hip that was broken amputation wouldn’t have been a great option either. For his quality of life we made a VERY hard decision to say goodbye and let him go over the rainbow bridge. His brother has called out for him off and on but seems to be occupied with the other goats. It’s always hard to say bye to our animals but when it’s unexpected and they’re so young it’s a little harder 😞

I would like to start out by saying I didn’t follow my animals around for at least an hour to get all of these pictures 😅 They got tons of lives during the time though so they didn’t mind one but
We finally got our field fenced in and moved the goats, pigs and cow to the field and I don’t think we have any complaints about the new home, they all seem to love it!

When people come over and see our dogs on the roof they often get concerned but they have made the roof their area to play, take a nap or just relax and they love it. No one has ever fallen off or hurt themselves. And it makes for a good picture!

I want to share a special rescue girl that got to stay with me for a few days. At one of our local coffee stands there were a few ducks/geese that somehow ended up living there. I happened to be driving by and seen this sweet girl, I decided to stop and try to catch her. My friend was able to walk up and grab her with ease, when we got her in the car we realized this poor girl was blind. We brought her home, set her up in isolation and kept an eye on her. After 2 days of her not being able to find food I knew she wasn’t going to good at my home so I reached out to a rescue who knew a perfect place for her. She now lives at Ballydídean Farm Sanctuary with a special needs duck flock and I read that she is thriving and enjoying all the love she can get! I’m glad I was able to be apart of this sweet girls rescue even for a short time.

For those who followed my page for Rosie’s story I want to update. Rosie with us for a year and a half. She knew love and had a full belly the whole time she lived with us. She never grew a full body of hair but she tried and her little hairs were so cute. During the summer Rosie’s health started declining but she still had such a will to survive so we stuck by her side until she was ready. She lived outside our house loose for a few months, she loved that cause there was no other pigs to worry about eating her food, giving her medicines was much easier and she just seemed happier, she would go down and visit the other pigs daily but didn’t want to live with them anymore. Last month we went out to feed dinner and she was telling us her time with us was up. We called the vet the next day and scheduled the appointment but unfortunately that night by dinner she was completely unresponsive and was already passing. A friend and I sat with her and petted her and told her she was sooo loved until she took her last breath. Rosie will always hold a very special place in the hearts of those who got to know her. She was such a special pig girl!

I got these two boys from a wonderful family, no sad story as to why they ended up at Duckabush. They were loved and cared for and will not get to live their life out at Duckabush, happy, sassy, and healthy. They seem to get along very well and seem to be adjusting good. They have an outdoor run that they seem be loving. When I go to make sure theyre dry they still are in the outside run playing or sleeping, even though, they have access to a fully enclosed house. I do have the run covered as the weather seems to be changing so much and quickly. I'm hoping they continue to be happy and I've been slowly introducing Hope but she doesn't know how she feels about other rabbits. She like to sit in the doorway and make sure they stay in the run and away from her. I'm hoping soon they can all 3 live in harmony!

It's been a crazy week. Last Sunday I got this handsome boy, R***r. He's a huge lover! Not sure what he knows yet but we're eager to find out! We've been working on trust and bonding and so far he is doing amazing! Well, towards me that is. He also has his best friend with him, who happens to be my best friends horse and anytime she goes in to do anything R***r likes disappear and stay as far away from her as possible. But he'll get better he just needs a bit of work! Can't wait to see what we get to do together!
