Baby watch and no baby yet ...

But we're definitely any day now ...

My Farm School Kids might have got this one right with a Thursday morning guess. ...

Bits & Bag says any day now

10/12/2026

I'm late to the party tonight but that's okay ... They don't mind a late dinner as long as they get dinner ...

This is Bessie ... Some of y'all may remember her.... She's the gal that we went and got out of Tarpon Springs who had been abandoned on 10-plus acres of junk land.... She was a real rodeo, I tell you....

She's also the girl who, when in heat, was most attracted to vehicles... That's right, that's not a typo..... Bessie likes to mount vehicles....

So when she went into heat on the first full moon of 2026 and we just so happened to have a Mini to Mid High-Belt on the property... Yeah .. I definitely put her with him... To protect our vehicles and the vehicles of our guests... quite literally..

Magic of the moon ... Bully knew his job .... She took.

Well .. fast forward to today ... 281 days after that first full moon of 2026 .....

Cows carry for 283 days on average .....

Tomorrow is Farm School ... And while I don't think we're going to be blessed with a live birth ... I would not be shocked.

And while she has bagged up quite a bit over the last 72 hours.. I still think she's got a bit to go as well ...

I'm always wrong when it comes to guessing when, but I'm definitely nowhere near as gullible as I was before ...

With that said ... My guess is a Wednesday morning surprise ...

What's your guess?

Meet Rosie, as she has come to us...

She is who also brought Elvis to us ...

She is the email and the call we received. . .

She was said to be 25 and is a mammoth donkey. . and had just days to find a home with Elvis ...

She's here with us now. .. she's in great weight and coat condition but she does have severe dermatitis on her lower legs.. her hooves hadn't been done in years but all four were cleaned up fully yesterday. Only one abscess, we hope for none, but I'm grateful for just one ...

Vet has come, antibiotics on board and we shall began the clean up process of her legs ... Joints are swollen from being angry but she is walking and much better now with clean feet ...

Vet also says ... She's not 25 ... Likely older ...

This ole girl has some stories in those eyes. She was very loved at one point. She is so kind, gives hugs, walks on leads, stands, takes treats, I can even lay across her back and simply breath with her ... She appreciates ...

Rosie is a good girl with lots of love and trust and stories behind her 🫶

So for now ...Rosie is with us ... She will spend some time alone as it's best practice to quarantine, but soon she will have friends and pasture and simple freedom to finish out her years ...

Wink number 2 .....

When I said it's been a long week +. .. I forget to mention it also been quite exciting too!
... Meet Elvis, as he came to us .... He's a 2.5 year old Highland bull ... Simply needed a new home as his dad's were moving out of theirs today ... His time was up and we showed up right on time ....

A gift ... A true gift ... You know, one of those ones you can't help but feel is just a wink from above.... Yeah ...

His hair is in the mail ....and we're getting to know each other ...

Believe it or not but his favorite snack is a milk bottle 😳 while we got a good laugh outta this, we will not be making friends by popping bottles, those days are long gone for both of us ...

Grain, brushes, and even the possibility of offering him some ladies .. we will be friends, respectfully, in no time ... Hopefully...

More so ... His physical confirmation is pleasing... Fingers crossed we like what we see on his color genetics report .. should have it back next week ..

And to think ... This is just one of many winks to share 🫶

Taking the pups to the vet means finding something to do for 5-8 hours .....

In Clearwater.... .. which let me tell you, at night it says 1 hour 11 minutes travel ... But by AM traffic it's well over 2 hours .... 589 never use to look like 275 in the morning either 😔 but it does now

Thankfully the vet still accepted the pups, despite my late arrival, and I still remember a quiet place to waste time ... And not spend money lol

To think I'm 41 and spend many many nights in this very spot in my young teen years. ..

Hopefully we get clean bills of health and pups will be ready to go home this weekend!

We still have pups available too so tag and share and help us find them homes pleasssssssse!
