Action Items & Urgent Needs

It’s time to officially introduce you to Moose! Moose arrived just before the holidays along with Claire, Rory, and Charlie. We affectionately call this bonded family “The Bluenosers” because they are from NS. Moose quickly earned her name based on her appearance, and it suits her well so far. She’s shy, seriously cute, likes to […]

If you saw our first post about Elsa, you know she was a stray hen who found shelter under someone’s hot tub! She was fed and given straw but needed a home quickly, as she was vulnerable to the weather and predators. She’s still very frightened but is starting to enjoy typical hen behaviour, like […]

Millie doesn’t mind this cold! She’s hopping and bopping, enticing the other sheep to play. Rosie, who’s off camera, thought Millie’s antics were pretty awesome . What’s extra special about seeing Millie being a spunky lamb is that she’s missing the integral structures in one of her back feet. She actually has hoof material and […]

The Bluenosers (Charlie, Claire, Moose, and Rory) are enjoying breakfast inside their house and out of the weather. We’ve gotten a lot of snow overnight, and it’s still coming down. That means lots of plowing and shovelling for us today. Between the weather, Annie’s recovery, Merlin’s osteitis, the turkeys arriving, and multiple trips to AVC […]

Elsa wandered into someone’s yard and hung around for a few days under their hot tub! They fed her and gave her straw to sleep in, but knew she was vulnerable to predators and the cold. Tim and I went out to pick her up, but first we had to catch her. If any of […]

Merlin was slow to get up this morning. Usually, when I open up the barn in the morning, he’s up and peeking 👀 through the gate before I get there. This morning, he was still lying down. I check him over, then check on everyone else, open up the big barn door, and make my […]

Merlin damaged his horns during his “escape” from AVC. While he didn’t want to be walked down the hall that leads to the door out of the hospital, once he spotted the trailer, he was going for it! When he got to the trailer, he attempted to jump up into it but only got halfway. […]

While Annie is extra tired from her ordeal yesterday (and the medications she’s on now), she’s doing better! The combination of medications, as well as a special supper and breakfast, has things moving again, and she’s resting more comfortably. As you can see from the pictures, Mel was interested in Annie’s breakfast, and one of […]

Annie has been understandably resting a lot the past couple of days. She was up and hanging out with Sid this morning; however, she made a couple of vocalizations that alerted Robyn and me to the fact that something was definitely off. Annie’s pain levels were high (curling her lips and clenching her jaw), her […]

Thank you to Janine, who sponsored Stevie and dedicated their sponsorship to Roo, the sweet turkey who passed recently. Stevie, Joey, and Mickey all stuck close to Roo before their […]

I’ll start with the good news about Bea. She has been doing well at the animal hospital, and after a close evaluation, it has been determined that no further treatment is needed.  Merlin typically doesn’t play with Bea the way Kate would, so I’m sure all the downtime has been beneficial for Bea’s shoulder.  Merlin […]
