It’s been quiet in that I only have a handful of animals and am not receiving a lot of calls yet, but juggling three very different species- armadillo, bats and opossums, is time- and brain-consuming. The nights warmed up enough Mister Evening bat could go back home. Thank you, Kayley Martin, for rescuing him! I’m…
It’s cold, we are all inside, and everyone is fine. But such wonderfully interesting and happy news! My first armadillo in years!!! I wasn’t able to accept any in 2025 and in 2024 I was so overwhelmed I had to send them all to another rehabber. Finally! The Tale of Daisy In mid-December my dear…
Very little has happened in the last 18 days. Almost no photos were taken. This post is to let you know we are still alive, although hibernating. Both boys are very active at night, from 11 pm to 3 am, running on their wheel and all over the enclosure. I appreciate my security cameras which…
2025 did not happen like I thought it would, but it’s hard to direct Life into a certain trajectory or vision. I knew in 2024 that I was burned out, and I had to stop. Overwintering opossums in 2024 meant even though I was burned out I had to keep going until they were released….
Fall is in full swing and many animals have headed into hibernation or brumation. That doesn’t mean I get a break! It just gets quieter. Mr. Pigeon healed and went home! His caretaker said he immediately puffed up his chest and started stomping around like he was a big deal. When he arrived his foot…
It’s been a slow season since technically I am closed, but thus far I’ve taken in at least 75 animals! I say “at least” because some landed here briefly before heading to other rehabbers. I am grateful to my volunteers and mentees for helping out while I attempted to have a life. It worked! Three…
13 opossums made their way back into the wild in the last two weeks. It’s the most nerve wracking aspect of the rehabilitation process for me- did I provide them the opportunities for skill acquisition, has their nutrition been balanced, are they curious or scared? I want to set them all up for success and…
From 4 opossums to 22 in 48 hours, and another on the way! I swear I am still on sabbatical, I just happen to be caring for a lot of animals. Massive upgrade! Volunteer Ashley brought a slew of jute coffee bags, donated by Charlie Mustard and Jittery Joes coffee in Athens. So far I’ve…
Almost nothing of note has happened in the last two weeks, this is ok! I wanted to share an amazing donation I received, and a video tour of the inside of Tova’s Treehouse. One of our wishlist angels went all out for my birthday and I came home to a huge assortment of needed items!…
Hooray for babysitting! I spent multiple wonderful days with Maggie Haden’s adorable babies and enjoyed every minute of it. I got to babysit them twice! Soon we will be hands off so they learn to be wary around people and strange things. Two releases happened in the meantime as well,and I’ve included an update on…
