A lot of times owners of these small Sanctuaries sit and worry 24 hours a day over how they're going to pay for all that's needed for your animals you care for. You feel so alone that it's all resting on your shoulders.

The flies have just been terrible this year. Cooler and wet spring. So bad that your animals are covered in them. Flys crawling up their noses, in their mouths and ears. Just didn't have the extra money to combat the problem so I put out a request for help. I just received another box or 4 from Amazon full of ammunition to launch a charge to combat this problem. Nancy Jensen sent these. Thanks Nancy ❤️ . Amazon told on ya by letting me know the gifts were from you. Usually I never find out who the anonymous donors are.

You are never alone here at Daisys. Somebody is usually ready and willing to help no matter what

Thank you to everyone of our friends and donors out there who are always ready and willing to help us out in times of trouble.

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

News Flash

So now after 2 years, I can turn on the well water and leave it on. . My well water pressure tank blew a gasket and while it worked in a limited fashion I had to throw the breaker and cut the well on and off after each time I used it. Was a pain in the arse but I couldn't afford to fix it.

I bought a $600 pressure tank and $100 worth of fittings and hired a plumber. Over $1000.00 later it's all fixed.

Thank you Jesus

Wow WTH !!!!!

I feel so sorry for these animals and all animals who are in this heat. I've been risking my own heath an an attempt to keep these guys safe. No matter what I do I'm going to lose pigs. High heat, sub freezing temps are brutal on these old pigs.

Sun Sails are next up and should have been up by now but I do the best I can alone. I'll get there

Go outside and bring your dogs, cats in the house. It's so dangerously hot out there ❤❤❤ They cannot get out of this !!!!!

Edit,

Wednesday 6/25/25. Maggie Quick sent 3 reusable traps and yesterday I got fly swatters, fly traps and some fly repellent for farm animals. If you did it THANK YOU!!!

I ordered some too so we are okay for now. These flies have got to go.

Also

Daisy's is okay on food right now. How many times have you heard me say that? Zero !!!!!
I do have to get whole corn however. I'm out

Thank you

Well hello!! ❤

Here we are Friday again, maybe Thursday depending when I finish and publish.

Hot! Hot!! Hot!!! Daisys has a broken AC. 2nd floor works but main level has averaged 85 degrees. Tough sleeping at night. The word for the next 10 days is hide under a shade tree and pray for it to pass!!. Still no tractor which is depressing.... My good neighbor Rick borrowed a tractor and bush hog from another neighbor, farmer Chris, his BIL, and came and bushogged the farm. Too big to get into the compound area where animals are held tho. Anyway i thought it was beyond nice for both Rick and Chris to get this done. Thank you my friends!!

Is there a plumber on here? Have to install a 52 gallon well pressure tank cuz mine is broke!!. Still manage to get a little water but i dont know how much longer. PVC pipes are about to explode. Tank was $600.00 but cant afford a plumber right now. Just askin.

Planted tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelon and cantelope. Hopefully they grow thru the grass and weeds and mature. Cant help it if they dont. No tractor. Can't stand heat working out there anyway

Lets see........ thank you again for all the donated feed. Here we are June 19th and i still have some food......

This heat is hard on these animals and the flies that go with it are insane this year. They have usually moved on to the County Landfill by now but its been a cool spring. They're still here !!!! Frickin yikes !!

Oh last saturday morning, I lost my dog, Kimber. Wasnt going to mention it cuz im still hurting. Every animal I've ever had has been a Godsend. They have!! All have made my life so much better and I theirs. Kimber was that special dog that only comes once in a lifetime. She has my heart and thanks, that she chose me to spend her life with. Kinda lonely in this house now. I look for her 20 times a day and each time I had forgotten she's gone

Taking piggy donations as always .......

Thank you!!

Happy Friday, well almost. I came back and published the names of donors that went that extra mile, picked up the phone for food or cash donation. Again, I can't thank you enough for your generosity. Just when I think no one much cares you showed up for the party ❤ I had one that wanted anonymity.

I did end up putting in some tomato plants and cantalope, watermelon and cucumber seeds.
It's later than I would like but my time and attention was needed elsewhere.

The weeds in the compound are growing to the sky and its preventing me from taking my cart full of food to the feeding stations so I made a command decision and filled up my sprayer with herbicide and went to war. I won't see the results until 7-10 days. I did come in the house with a half dozen deer ticks though. Once the weeds die back the ticks will move on to greener pastures.

Everyone have a great weekend, you're the best

My last post was important. We were nearly out of food. I was out of money. With no promised funds or food coming I was a little beside myself. Well let me say you rose to the occasion and made sure we had food and I can't thank you all enough.

I'll try to get back here and do my usual end of month donor list appreciation post. Not much else happening down here but hey, no drama is a good thing.

Last fall my kubota tractor died and so the loss of those extra 4 kubota men, when needed, has made life round here a lot less enjoyable. Was an old tractor but could do the work of a crew of men when necessary.

My 2 year old lawn mower had been been broke down for 3 weeks while I kept working on possible solutions to get it started. With grass up to my knees I finally found the problem in the electrical system and off she flew last Tuesday. Don't have a lot of extra repairman money but in this case there's hardly a mechanic around that can fix the thing anyway. Especially one that makes house call.

Anyway life goes on. Some days suck more than others but this old man has finally learned it's your perception that pulls you through.

Thanks for keeping us going..........

May 20, 2025. Posted 18 days ago asking for food donations. Thank God 5 people,
❤THANK YOU❤, came forward with some $$ and pig food. We were good til yesterday, then we weren't. We ran low on pellets and totally ran out of corn.

What do we do now?? I have $160.00 left over for the month of May in my household food account that I can raid as a last ditch effort. Daisy's bank account is depleted.

What do I do?? Oh joy, I knew this was coming. Now you know why all my happy posts every few days have disappeared. Not much to write about when you have hungry animals

If you would like to donate food we'd sure appreciate it

Have a good Memorial Day weekend.

Well today is $50.00 Friday. We didn't get any food orders called in to the feed store. That's a real shame. It tells me nobody gives a damn anymore

Two Toes wonders if you can help him and his friends? I told him don't hold your breath and keep on hunting birds.

Well here we are approaching the end of April hot on the heels of May. I ended up with the following Donors and a special "Thank You" goes out to you. I ended up getting about a third of my cost of animal food in donations. Doing my best to hold on but I'm losing the battle now. I noticed I was chastised for my last post for multiple "infractions" of the farm animal code. 😂😂😂. That's all I'm going to say on it because honestly that's more recognition than it deserves.

Everything else here on the farm is good. Very busy now doing the added springtime chores. Cutting grass again being number one on the list of "Things to do today" Ah well I could have worse problems I guess.

Tuesday is the last day for ordering food for Wednesday delivery if you're so inclined. Lord knows we can sure use it. Call......

My last post was April 7th and we needed food of course. All together I was pledged over
$900 00. It wasn't enuf for a whole month but it was a significant amount for now and I could make up the difference after that was eaten.

Here we are 2 weeks later and I received 1 donation and was stiffed for the rest. Hopefully these donors will have a heart and follow thru.

What this does tell me is its time to start thinking about closing up the grounds here. When I got into this there were 2 other partners besides me. I had signed on as the farm manager only. No behind the scenes fundraising, no paperwork with the govt, no nothing except to keep these guys fed and watered. I kept this farm functioning, fed and watered the occupants, kept fences mended and water flowing. I also made the hard decisions no one wants to make.

Well here we are and more often then not there is a need for food with no one able to help. This has become the norm instead of the exception. I cannot keep on like this. I can't and I've said all along that if there isn't enough resources to keep the animals fed I will close this place up. I love the animals here. I've wiped their noses and ass's and always made sure they wanted nothing. I will not let then feel hunger or pain, at all, period.

This is all I'm gonna say on the matter and I will not answer any questions. If you wanna donate there are numerous places to do so listed in the posts above and below. Donations are needed, appreciated and the lifeblood of this opportunity to help the less fortunate.

Thank you !! ❤️

Hi All

Here we go with showers, rain and return to cold temps once again. Hopefully it won't last too long

I'm about out of food now. My funds are exhausted but what I have left will be used tomorrow to purchase a small amount of food. The only way I'm going to make it much longer is to cut back on food or animals and even then the future is not encouraging.

For what it's worth I will repost the phone number of the feed store in Delaware. The delivery day for my area is Wednesdays and the order has to be in by tomorrow.

Again, thank you to the few folks who have helped us along the way. We never would have made it this far.

Hi All

March 27th. Can't wait for April, May, June!! Ah hell let's say the good times are coming in the next 6 months. It's been a long hard winter with more snow down here than I've seen in years. My years of age are telling.

Been a rough year on the herd too. Lost alot more kids. Just made me realize even more how much I was loved by them. They know I tried as hard as I could but fell short I guess. On average I lose 10 animals a year. Seems like the ones that go on to the bridge are the ones I loved more than the others..The ones who loved me more than their animal friends.😪

Well life goes on, with a heavy heart, but it still goes on.

Donations are all but gone. I have 3 Donors who still help me with food. They are the same 3 Donors who donated last month and every month really. To you 3 I bow before you with such admiration. You take your hard earned money that buys the food and straw that keeps them alive and give it to them. I just don't know if the donors really understand but I just want reiterate the fact that the money you gave to these animals, in every way, is the reason thev still live today. The souls who lost the fight to stay here thank you for giving them the chance.

To the Donors who left us , thank you for supporting our cause when you could.

To the people who never donate I get it. If you just don't like me is not an excuse. Donate to some rescue you do like. If you don't donate to pigs, find a dog and cat rescue you do like and give to them. The ASPCA advertises 5 times a day on TV begging for help so try to help them. Other animal rescues need help as well. There just isn't a reason to not get involved and stamp out animal hunger and or the lack of a dry and warm shelter.

Be the answer in a neglected animals life!!
