and hear their stories!
Dozer
Meet Dozer, or as we like to call him, Dozey Doo! This pint-sized bull at our place when a lovely family had to trade their farm life in due to health reasons for suburbia—poor Dozer couldn't tag along. Being the smallest in the herd, we worried he’d be the target of bullying, but lo and behold, he charmed his way into the cowzy family! He’s a character—one minute he’s begging for cuddles, and the next, he’s giving you the classic “no thank you” head flick! But don’t let his mood swings fool you; the promise of apple treats will have waiting at the fence drooling. Dozer is never in a hurry, he is always the last one to come when we call them. he's defiantly on his own dozer time! Seriously, with that big flat head and Yoda-like ears, how could we not be heard over hooves for him?
Maple
Maple, or as we like to call her, our "Mapey Girl." She galloped into our lives after her former family threw in the towel because, well, there was a serious grass shortage at their property! When she first arrived, she was so skinny that we thought a strong breeze might blow her away. But now? She's living her best life, munching away on our lush green grass like it's a buffet! The other cows gave her a bit of a hard time at first, but now she struts around like she owns the place, even putting a show by pretending to take on the tractor and mower, bucking her legs as if she's auditioning for a rodeo!
Izzy
Meet our adorable girl Izzy! She came into our lives at the young age of 11 months after her previous owners realised that managing four dogs is like herding cats—alot of work! Having spent life living in a crate and at the bottom of the doggy hierarchy, she was a bundle of nerves. never having been in a house before presented its own set of challanges as she was scared of the fan, her reflection in the mirrors and lots of kitchen noises would send her retreating under the bed. But, we rolled up our sleeves and set out to toilet train our little diva and gave her lots of love and she finally settled into home life! now she prefers to be inside than out! She’s an absolute pro at bounding through long grass, playing epic games of chase with her best buddy, Junie the cat, and claiming every bed as her royal throne when she gets the chance. With her goofy smile and endless love, Izzy is proof that even the most sensitive souls can have a hilarious side!
Toby
Toby, our delightful feathered friend who joined our family after his last owners realized their neighbors weren't fans of his karaoke skills! Now, living with a harem of lovely ladies, he's happily toned down the honking. You can usually find him lounging by the back door, waiting for treats and showing off his fabulous feathery fan to the chickens, who are clearly his biggest fans. And let’s be honest, he absolutely loves hearing how gorgeous he is—because who doesn't enjoy a good ego boost?
Donald & Boris
Meet Donald and Boris, our delightfully mischievous goat brothers! These lovable rascals, with their partner-in-crime Dozer, came to us when their previous could no longer take care of them due to health issues. They came to us as incredibly loved goats with their own sunscreen for thier noses! They’re experts at getting into the food shed, turning food bags into trendy headgear, and staging daring raids on my precious garden roses. But don’t let their antics fool you; with their goofy grins and sweet nothings, they can charm the socks off anyone!
Harry
Our lovable Harry, the turkey with a personality bigger than his waddle! He came to us after his previous owner couldn’t handle his relentless stalking—seriously, he’d pace her balcony and leave behind a “poop trail” like he was marking his territory. He also had massive depression issues and would lay on the ground in the corner with his snood in the dirt. He lost most of his feathers and was in abit of a state. We thought life would change when he moved in, but nope! Harry still patrols every window, as if auditioning for a role as a turkey bouncer. But his depression certainly did improve and now he’s convinced he’s a dog, gobbling along to our jokes and following us everywhere like a giant, goofy teddy bear— don’t let his intimidating size and appearance fool you!
