With all the uncertainty and all we've been through since Covid, think about how many times you sought refuge in the barn. Please donate and share to help save Squirrelwood and keep the herd together.

How can you say no to these faces?

Mango the black and white Juliana piglet looks sweetly up at the camera while standing in her straw and hay strewn stall with wood-lined walls.

Quoted post - video description for inclusivity: A snowy drive between a couple paddocks ringed by fences. Snow falls while two Boxers join a mini horse as he jogs down and past the camera wearing a blue horse coat. A fancy thoroughbred, also in a coat, runs to the fence to accompany his friend.

Unlikely friendships are just part of being herd, whether the fanciest of racehorse or a gangly Boxer, dear Pon Pon set the best example. Wednesdays with Wiggles™️ reminder that even with a stumble you can keep dancing forward with a herd to encourage you and keep you company💚

She has some very strong opinions about her needs and has no shame using her large frame and hooves to make her point 😁

Quoted post - video description for inclusivity: Pesto the blonde Belgian horse looms over the entrance to the feed room demanding her share of minty horse muffins from her human. She carefully chews each offering, her mouth and big tongue dancing for joy for the tasty nibbles. 💚

Not many can boast of Miss Pesto's statuesque beauty or sense of silly fun when enjoying a muffin and mint, but there's plenty of beauty routine you don't see. From carefully managed hooves to the extensive vacuuming she regularly demands. It's hard work being this gorgeous.💚

Yes, don't want to mess with geese. They are basically just angry little dinosaurs. 😁

Of course! Lots of critters to keep track of at Squirrelwood 😊

Not the Amigos, they have the fancy feathers but some of the other geese definitely do have the head knots 😊

Quoted post - video description for inclusivity: Kiwi and Mango, the adorable black/white Juliana piglets, follow the camera with sweet smiles in the sunshine. They are accompanied by the stern hissing bodyguard of the remaining Amigo. The girls are the safest piglets ever with that protector.

Hopefully the week ahead is more sweet Fruits than hissing Amigo, but either way the girls will help make it better. I dare anyone to look at Kiwi and Mango without smiling so bookmark some cuteness to keep on hoof for those challenging moments as you dive into the week ahead

"Yes, being this handsome is quite a burden which can only be borne with frequent cookie applications." ~That (humble) Pony

When not sashaying around the aisle visiting with other residents and abusing buckets, Toy prefers his cookies and muffins delivered with compliments.💚

While it may not feel like autumn as summer temperatures continue in many areas, it's still time to contemplate your plan of attack for the best fall snacking. Miss Roo recommends ALL the nibbles from grain salad to anything apple and all things pumpkin💚
