Orphans at the farm

I love babies of all kinds and have raised two kids of my own but I’ve also raised several orphan animals and thought I would share some pictures of them.  It’s very gratifying finding them quick enough to get some warm food in them, warm blankets around them and a good warm bath no matter if they’re furbearing or feathered.  Here’s some of my babes:

I can’t begin to tell you of all of the cats, dogs, fawns, squirrels, calves, rabbits, chicks and ducks I’ve hand raised but I can tell you everyone of them was worth the challenge!!

  1. Having furry friends is well just like family, and I think family wouldn’t be complete without them. I can tell you feel the same way.

    Hope you are feeling better, or at least on the mend.

    • Feeling much better but still in therapy. Not much pain in my shoulder now but the nerves in my right arm can be so painful and my fingers seem to be constantly tingling!! I want to be back to normal!! Or, what’s normal for me :) !!
