Halloween may be over, but let the pumpkin party begin! Fred Jr. was enjoying his pumpkin treat yesterday, and what a treat it was for us to watch him!  Seated right behind him, is his lady friend, Ginger.  They have been inseparable for many, many months! https://youtu.be/VK9WWBRW5yk&rel=)

This video was taken one year ago this week, just a week after we welcomed this handsome little angel into our lives, something that would continue to change us to this day! Every single day that we have Fred Jr. in our presence, is truly a blessing from God, as he is truly a miracle […]

The agony of the decision…yesterday morning (10/29/15), I received a call from Craig, who works at a GMC dealership in Plymouth, and he informed me of a Mute Swan that had apparently hit a square metal box light pole the previous day, and had been laying in a neighboring business parking lot since.

Trooper didn’t take too long to find himself a sweet little girl to latch on to. He and Little Sarah have had a very ‘casual’ relationship (although the two have been playing coy with one another as of late) the past month or so. Little Sarah has recovered fully from her severely injured foot, which […]

Ducky, a few days ago, enjoying her rain day with her buddies. If you remember, she came here several months ago at age 17, pretty good for a domestic duck. She comes in every evening and has run of the house, and a cozy carrier for her ‘bedroom’ at bedtime. She is slowly becoming deprived […]

Late in the evening on I believe, July, 6, our friend Doug (caretaker of the Brighton Mill Pond ducks ~ words4it.com) called us to help him in the rescue of Blonde Bombshell #2, who had fishing line tightly embedded around her left foot. After we had just headed out of the driveway, I called to […]
