New Duck Daffy

Our wonderful neighbor found this big fellow on the road.  She stopped traffic and had two ladies who also stopped, help her catch him.  He appears unhurt but with clipped wings he would not last long on his own.  This is helper Lisa.  She made friends with him and we will call him Daffy as long as he is here.

Daffy is returned home.  He belonged to one of our neighbors.  He was to glad to go home where he has a dozen other duck friends.

Starbucks the cryptorchid got fixed. Starbucks is a miniature horse, and is full grown at 227 pounds! He was quite the little pistol, but will hopefully start to calm down now.

Sad news...

This is our little burro Brown Sugar.. she came to us with her best friend Hannah, they were the best of friends.. in recent months they were able to relax and bond with the volunteers, especially Jeff!! Saturday was such a good day for her, loving on the volunteers. Sadly, that night she passed and she will be greatly missed!! We are watching Hannah during her grieving period to make sure she is healthy and safe. In the spring we will have a plaque and ceremony to honor her time here. Thanks to all that gave her such TLC!

Sugar Gliders adopted!
