My Invaluable helpers - Shiloh & Evie!

Shiloh and Evie help wrangle a very fast baby goat!

I could never do all of this alone and am incredibly grateful to the young volunteers who come and lend a hand.  Each of them have their skills and talents and the one thing they have in common is their love of animals. It's fun for me to see the look of wonder in their eyes when they hold day old bunnies or play with the baby piglets, who are endlessly entertaining.  They also enjoy the feeling of accomplishment when we complete big tasks like removing manure to the compost boxes, cleaning our pens or cages, tending to the raised bed garden or doctoring various animals that might be uncooperative patients. Their young energy is infectious and reminds me of my own wonder at the magic of animals.  I love my animals but sometimes one gets lost in the forest.. They help me see the trees.  Thank you Shiloh and Evie!
