I've got my eyes on you! When you come to see the goats, you may want to step back a little as my head easily fits through the fence so I can give you a love nip! I really like to make the visitors jump! 😄

It was almost a year ago, Marshmallow had her accident with a vehicle and came to us through Furever Homes. She has come a long way since then and has definitely found her destiny! Not only does she patrol the homestead keeping out predators that could harm her new animal family, but welcomes every visitor with kisses and tail wags! It was a blessing for both her and us and we couldn't be happier!

What's up, pussycat? I'm a man about town that spends time at the farm when it suits me. Just letting you cats know it's a sweet deal! I can come hang out with the guys and get a free meal and roof anytime I want and they don't even seem to care! This is one sweet place!
