Flame I love animal rescue stories and although I'm not working now I spent my working life as a veterinary technician......the last ten in emergency medicine (and I MISS IT.....adrenaline junkie!) so rescue is pretty much the story of our farm.......every single animal here is a cast off from somewhere. They have given us much more than we have ever given them and has pretty much been "what we do". In fact the ten acre farm we bought was pretty much bought with idea of providing needed homes for our creatures.

We've had to slow a bit.......at one time I believe our top number was ten dogs.....now down to 7 (but 3 are chihuahuas so they don't really count) 3 cats, a rooster, the geese crowd, two pigs and three horses and at our ages we find that plenty. But again.......we've gotten more from these creatures than they have ever gotten from us.
