Imagine how it feels when a miniature donkey becomes your friend and follows you around for hugs and loves your company 🫶 these lovely peaceful moments with animals are great for children in so many ways: regulating their sensory sensory system, experiencing happy and peaceful interactions, and helping children grow in confidence.

Such a lovely afternoon today 🫶 some pictures of our little puppy Trooper Misty (kids involved in naming 😍) - this little one is staying!! She is not in good enough health to be sold but we are so happy to keep her, a beautiful addition to the farm. She is so calm and gentle, perfect for our farm visitors.

Callie is loving all the extra attention. The puppies are doing great, we weigh them every day to make sure no one is falling behind. We are helping Callie a bit by supplementing the puppies with bottles. The children love helping out with this 🫶 this morning I worked with three boys and it was brilliant- they asked so many questions - so much learning happens being part of this whole process of a litter of puppies!
