UPDATE: Tamahome

August 31, 2015 By ezarkos

Tamahome has had a difficult few weeks; he had been living with Sapphire, who was recently adopted, and so he now doesn’t have a buddy to hang with.  He has been in a funk ever since, so we have been trying to help him rally his spirits by giving him extra attention and putting him out with Rio for some “buddy time.”

This past week I let Tamahome hang out with me while I did chores, which was great until he decided that chores were boring and he should find something else to do.  “Something else to do” ended up being breaking into the trash cans that hold the pellets.  I was going to stop him immediately, but he seemed so happy, that I let him play for a few minutes.

 

After he had his snack, I put him back in the stall with the sheep. He decided that it was probably more fun in the sheep pen than his stall, so he shoved his way through the door and came right in.  I think he’s feeling more like himself again!

Tamahome breaks into sheep pen.

Hey, whatcha doing?

Mmm… this looks good.

Glenda Gets a Brand-New Coop (Thanks to Our Amazing Volunteers!)

August 28, 2025 By ezarkos

Glenda is one of the chickens at our ranch, and she had previously been living in a coop we built when we moved onto the property. The coop was sturdy enough to keep larger predators out, but unfortunately mice and rats were able to find their way inside. We did what we could to try to strengthen … [Read More...]
