Sunshine H. Wilson has passed away.
If you ever met her, you know she was very happy and excited to meet you! Whether you wanted her to or not, she probably jumped up on you or the gate or whaped you with her tail a few times. She was a high-energy, bouncy, beautiful mixed breed rescue from down south that I adopted in the summer of 2015.

She was my first rescue dog. She was my first dog as an adult. She has been a staple of my life for the past decade and will be horribly missed. I know she lived a great and happy life here, always smiling, loved to be outside with the sun in her face, running and jumping around until the end. While trying to process her death, I am also trying to focus on how she passed.

Early evening this past Sunday, Sunny laid down in one of her favorite spots. The sun was coming through the window directly on her white-haired face, and she closed her eyes for the last time. She took a nap for good at the age of 14. Seems to be the perfect way to go, and I take a lot of peace in that. I love you, Sunny. We all miss you.

I told Baloo I would teach him how to shave when he is tall enough.

Firepit Fridays are BACK!!!

What are Firepit Fridays?!?

Whenever I would have events or parties here, they would always end sitting around the fire. Typically there would still be a handful of people, and for whatever reason, they were usually always Veterans. So I decided to just do that part! There's enough stress in this world, day to day, to wind down from.

Be surrounded by fellow like-minded people from the same world as yours. Just come and hang out. No stress, no pressure. No spouses/partners unless they are also one of the two. Please share this with, or, tag any local Veterans or L.E.O.'s that you may know!

THIS Friday from 1900 - 2300 (7pm - 11pm)

Firepit Fridays are held for Veterans and Law Enforcement Officers ONLY!

Dm's to this come directly to me, so if anyone has any questions, wants more info, or needs the ADDRESS here, please reach out! Hope to see some old faces and even more new ones!!

Belle passed away today. I'm glad I was there. It was her time.

Thank you all so much for all the love today!! She'll rest easy now and never have to feel pain again. 💔

Very sadly, Belle has fallen very ill and has been hospitalized since Friday. She has had some mobility issues for a while now and has been on pain management treatment and specialized care from our vet since February. I was planning to bring her for X-rays this week on the front left leg that gives her the most issues, to check for hairline fractures or whatnot. Belle had other plans.

About a month ago I moved Belle into a different pen, a brand new one I built, along with Romeo and Bella, my OG King & Queen. They are by far the oldest, move the slowest, and also needed to be extra retired. The girls took a couple of days to adjust, then didn't really pay much mind to each other after, Romeo was pretty indifferent from the start. Belle got to enjoy making a new mud hole just for herself, found this great little fallen tree to lay up on along side with her pillow, and I put a sunshade over the spot for her.

Then, in the middle of last week, Belle stopped eating. I contacted New Bolton out in PA, who did such an amazing job with Harley earlier this year, and where I was going for Belle's Xrays this week. That is where she has been since Friday. Other than the mobility issues themselves, they have found a lot of comorbidities internally that has her very sick. The main issue right now is that she has a pyometra, which is an infection in the uterus, and there has not been much improvement as of yesterday, unfortunately. That's the first thing that needs to be tackled rn, and they are doing everything they can!

I am heading back out there today to see her, bring her all her favorite treats and snacks and strength and love that I can! Please please please keep her in your thoughts, pray to whatever God/alien/spirit you believe in, and send positive healing vibes to this beautiful Belle Belle so she can come home!!!

💔 R.I.P. Rose 💔

With an extremely heavy heart, I wanted to let everyone know that our beloved Rose has passed away. We lost Rose, aka Tinkerbell, sometime early Monday morning, before I found her passed during morning feed. It was a complete shock. She did not seem ill in any way, and all the animals in the herd and I are devastated.

Rose came here just over two years ago with her three "sisters." They were rescued from the Johnson Park Prison by tireless efforts of the humans that advocated for all of those animals there! For anyone who doesn't know about that place, here's a brief idea of the type of care they received there. Rose was named after Betty White's character from the Golden Girls because all of the records I received from their transfer stated they were all female's, four girls. Well, if you have followed along since they came here, you may notice "Dorothy the Dude" being used, and that is because one is, in fact, a Male! His Veterinary records state he is an "intact Female" when he is actually a "non-intact Male". These poor Alpaca's were there for 7 years. 7 years.

For those not familiar with having a 'herd' of animals, the extreme pain of the loss turns to panic very quickly. Especially with her not appearing sick at all, and it being so sudden, the emotions shift to fear for everyone else. Some illnesses, parasites, or communicable diseases can run through an entire herd of animals almost immediately. Typically, with any of those, the adage of "if one has it, they all do" applies. I haven't posted until now because I was trying to wait until I have some answers. She was brought to the State lab to have a necropsy performed, and arrangements were made for her to be cremated after, so I can bury her here. In the meantime, until we know what happened, everyone else is being checked, monitored on video, and watched extremely closely for any signs of anything at all. The State tests for any of those things first, so the longer I don't hear from them, the better. Better for everyone else, at least. Rest easy, Rose!!!

Firecracker said she needed to be ready for the eclipse so that "they'll take me back home."
