Great news but a little bittersweet

I’ve been meaning to post these images for quite some time now – I’m behind, as usual, on many things. Remi and Sassy have stalls next to each other. We all know Freckles and Jerry, the Giraffe like to tell night time stories so a board was removed between the two stalls. Now, the girls can look in on one another as well as the story tellers. Freckles is with Sassy and Jerry stays with Remi. I think the girls really appreciate it.

I have some really good (bittersweet) news to share! I don’t know how many of you remember Whiskers, the day-old orphan donkey that came to us four years ago – a very similar situation to Remi’s. Well, his human mom and dad came to the farm on Monday to hang out with Remi.

I’ve been working with Remi on a few things and she was such a good girl – I was so proud of her and I’m sure she made a great impression on her visitors! She tied, picked up her feet, was great about her ears being touched, walked nicely, backed up, and even helped clean feed tubs during the visit. If you haven’t seen Remi’s progress, I have included a short video which can be viewed by clicking on the above image.

So, here’s the news… Remi is going to have a big brother, Whiskers!

She will be living at a very nice farm not far from the rescue. Remi and Whiskers will become the very best of friends, I’m sure. I can’t imagine the days without Remi here but this is what we do. It will be very hard when she goes. I’m not going to dwell on it. For now, I’ll treasure each and every moment and we will keep having fun.

Sincerely,
Theresa
