🌫 Foggy night here at the farm… and the animals know it. 🌫

Tonight, the fog rolled in thick, and it’s incredible how fast the entire farm adjusts.

You can hear the guardian dogs in the background, fully alert because visibility is so low. They can’t see as far tonight, so they’re working twice as hard to keep everyone safe. ❤️🐾

All the ducks and geese have moved in closer to the cabin, staying near the dogs for extra security. Even the farm cats are more alert than usual, watching everything around them.

If you look toward the solar lights, you can see the fog drifting right across the sky, almost like a blanket settling over the farm. 🌫✨

It’s remarkable how animals react to weather before we even realize it. They always know.

Life on the farm is never boring — even the quiet nights tell a story. 💚

🚨 ATTENTION HORSE OWNERS — PLEASE READ AND SHARE 🚨

There has been an outbreak of Equine Herpes Virus-1 (EHV-1) / Equine Herpes Myeloencephalopathy (EHM) in horses that were at or associated with barrel racing and rodeo-type events in Texas and Oklahoma.

📌 At this time, there are NO confirmed cases in Georgia.

The Georgia State Veterinarian’s Office is actively monitoring the situation and following up on any possible traces to prevent further spread.

---

🐴 If your horses attended events in TX, OK, or any equine gatherings where EHV/EHM exposure may have occurred:

• Isolate for 21 days after the last possible exposure

• Restrict access to other horses — no shared tack, buckets, grooming tools, equipment, or personnel

• Utilize protective barrier precautions during care

• Monitor twice daily for: – Fever above 101.5°
– Nasal discharge or coughing
– Neurologic changes (wobbling, difficulty walking or standing, weakness, lethargy, urine dribbling)

📞 If ANY signs appear, contact your veterinarian immediately.

---

⚠️ This virus spreads rapidly. Isolation and early monitoring are the best defense to protect your horse, your barn, and the wider equine community.

Even if your horses seem okay right now, precaution is key.

Please share this information, especially with anyone who travels to barrel races, rodeos, shows, or group equine events.

🌙 Such a peaceful night on the farm.

This is where everyone settles in and comes to bed — each animal finding their perfect cozy spot after a long day of playing, eating, sunbathing, and causing their usual adorable mischief.

All the lights you see glowing across the farm are solar lights that keep everything softly lit through the night ✨, except for the red heat lamps, which are there to keep our littlest, senior, and medically fragile babies warm and comfortable.

There’s something truly magical about walking the farm at night…

Hearing soft bleats, gentle moos, sleepy grunts, quiet clucks, and the rustling of everyone settling down…

And knowing that every single one of them is safe, fed, warm, and loved. 💚

Goodnight from our big farm family to yours. 🌾

🔥 How It Works

This fundraiser runs now through Monday at 11:59 PM.

⏰ The official name drawing is 12:00 PM (noon) on Tuesday, the 25th.

❤️ What the Fundraiser Supports

Every donation goes directly toward these three kittens for:

✨ Kitten formula & kitten food
✨ First shots
✨ Booster shots
✨ Rabies
✨ Spay & neuter (when old enough)
✨ Microchips & lifetime registration

They didn’t ask to be abandoned… but they are safe today because they were found in time — and together we can give them the life they deserve.

🐾 No Matter What — Names Will Be Chosen Tuesday

Even if there are no name submissions for a kitten, the naming will still take place on Tuesday using the same ChatGPT randomizer and a preset list of rescue-approved names.
Every kitten will receive their official name — donations simply help cover their expenses.

🦢🦆 Evening Routine on the Farm 🐄💚

The geese are out grabbing the last few bugs before dinner, making sure nothing goes to waste. Some of the ducks have already called it a night and tucked themselves in early — they don’t play when it comes to bedtime. 😆

And off to the side, Lavern is enjoying a slow, peaceful walk before dinner, taking in the evening breeze like the classy lady she is. 🌾

Everyone settles in differently, but it’s the same beautiful theme every night — full bellies, safety, and peace before bed.

Home is where the animals feel loved. 💛

🌅🦆 Evening on the Farm 🐐💚
The ducks are getting ready to call it a night as the sun goes down — that golden light shining through the trees just hits different at the end of a long day. 🥰

And of course… our Farm Supervisor, Miss Sofia, spotted her mommy doing evening checks and had to come over for her kisses and pets before bed.

She might be retired from milking, but she is not retired from love and attention! 😆

Peaceful moments like this are what make the long days worth it — animals settling in, safe, full, and loved.

Another day ends at M&B Farm & Hatchery. 💛

🌿🐐 Sofia — The Lawn Care Expert! 🐐🌿
(Don’t worry… she did not give up her Farm Supervisor title 😆)

Miss Sofia discovered that the gate to the house yard wasn’t locked… so she let herself right in and immediately got to work on “landscaping.”

Today’s project: pruning the bushes and eliminating weeds — one mouthful at a time! 😂

And we are absolutely going to keep pretending we don’t see her on the house side while she “sneaks” weeds as extra treats.
According to Sofia, it’s not stealing… It’s professional lawn maintenance. 😌

We’re also going to pretend she’s winning this match — even though the weeds might say otherwise.

But shhh… don’t tell Sofia. In her mind, she is crushing this job!

Never a dull moment with our retired milk goat/farm supervisor / self-appointed landscaping crew leader. 💚

🐾 Meet the 3 New Mousers! 🐾

Two nights ago, these 3 tiny kittens were found a mile down the dirt road from the farm — cold, starving, and desperately trying to survive. With no water, no food source in that area, and the only three neighbors before that spot being our own family members, it was clear they did not end up there by accident.

These babies most certainly would not have made it much longer. 💔

But their story takes a turn here.
They’re safe now — warm beds, full bellies, and so much love.

And the absolute cutest part? Bubby and Floofers have officially taken on the role of teachers, giving the little ones their first lessons in mousing. 😆🐭 Our senior mousers are very proud of their new apprentices!

They will grow up knowing safety, kindness, and a world where they never have to wonder where their next meal is coming from again. 💚

📌 Important Message:

We fully understand that times are challenging for everyone, and life can take unexpected turns. We never shame anyone for needing help.

However, dumping animals is both cruel and illegal in the state of Georgia — and it leaves animals to suffer, starve, and die alone.

If someone can no longer care for a pet, please reach out.

We can’t personally take in every cat, every dog, or every animal… but we do have a network of rescues, resources, and safe surrender options we can connect you with. There is always a better way than abandonment.

---

Welcome home, little mousers — you’re safe now. 💚🐾

🌾 A HUGE Thank-You to Lynn Merritt & Kim King! 🌾

Lynn & Kim have been here since 11 AM today, and we are just so grateful. 💚

Anyone who’s ever run a farm or rescue knows what happens — you work hard every day, but there’s always more to do.

The animals come first, and there’s always another project, another repair, another emergency that takes priority.

The feed shed and tool shed are used constantly, and over time, they naturally get a little out of rhythm — not dirty, just busy.

Feed bags are coming in, tools are going out, and new projects are starting — it all adds up fast.

Today, thanks to the help, energy, and teamwork of our amazing friends, we finally got a chance to give the feed shed a full “reset.” 🙌

And wow, what a difference! Everything is organized, accessible, and ready to make daily tasks smoother and faster going forward.

Lynn & Kim — thank you for showing up, staying all day, working shoulder-to-shoulder with us, and helping us breathe a little easier tonight.

You didn’t just organize a shed — you helped the whole farm. 💚
