"Just a few months ago this feral boy couldn’t even be touched by humans. Now he loves face massages, apple treats, long walks by the beach (or the front yard when I forget to lock the gate- MY BAD), and all the kisses in the world. My favorite boy." |
"I have wanted a donkey for so long, but held off because 1. they are so expensive & 2. we have no clue how to take care of one. I wasn’t going to bring an animal home if we couldn’t give it the best life possible. So I told myself that if one needed us, it would find us.
So fast forward 2 weeks and this special needs dude made his way to us. He was attacked by dogs when he was a baby, so he has no ears or tail. Because of that, his owners were having to apply fly spray daily and he required too much maintenance for their lives. They gave him to us for free, just wanting a loving family that had the time to devote to him. We researched and talked to our vet extensively to make sure we could provide a good life for him with the amount of land we had, and eventually decided to go get him (with the help of some friends with a livestock trailer!) He’s a tiny dude and has never been touched by a human before today, so he is so so scared. But I know when he comes around he will be the sweetest thing ever. Here’s to a good life Turtle." * |
