I’ve been too busy to write. Medical needs for animals; preparing for bad weather; and just too much work.

As far as today, we made it though Hurricane/Tropical Storm Isaias without any major issues, thank goodness. Even in the dark hours early this morning, as the rain stopped by 5 AM, we could see fences intact and nothing major to repair or tend to. It was a much different tour of grounds tonight than last night.

We’ve had a bunch of medical issues to tend to. Fortunately, Yona, our youngest black bear, is no longer limping. Bill goat is having a recurrence of his dry flaky skin. The toad, who I mentioned a couple weeks ago is finally improving. Check out these photos of our animals and veterinarians.

Remember Bufo, our marine toad… Bufo is recovering from an abscess. Check out the two photos. The first of the photos shows a small but very raw and active wound. The second shows a beautifully healing wound that is difficult to see.

It’s been awhile since posting, and also reminding myself- and others – about the importance of staying safe in times of CoVid. Like others, I am tired of wearing a mask, but I am happy to do it for me, my family, my human and non-human team members, and those I don’t even know. It’s also been awhile since I’ve shared a random item that made me smile. Check out the photo below of Paige’s amazing dish stacking abilities.
