Not a bad welcoming committee for Tuesday night. 😂❤️

I headed out to do a quick night check of the waters and was greeted by Burrito and Hamilton, who apparently decided their presence was necessary.

Nothing like having a donkey and a pig es**rt you through evening chores. 😂

Sanctuary life comes with some pretty great coworkers. ❤️

Look who finally decided it was his turn for the spotlight. ❤️🫏Eeyore is probably our quietest and shyest donkey. He’s u...

Look who finally decided it was his turn for the spotlight. ❤️🫏

Eeyore is probably our quietest and shyest donkey. He’s usually perfectly content hanging out in the background, especially when Spartan is around to take center stage. 😂

But today, Eeyore decided it was his turn.

And don’t let that sweet, quiet demeanor fool you. Eeyore can roughhouse with the best of them. He can often be found wrestling and playing with Spartan and, every now and then, reminding young Spartan exactly who is in charge. 😂

We love our sweet, shy boy and are always happy when he decides to step out of the background and let us admire that handsome face. ❤️

Show Eeyore a little love for his moment in the spotlight!

Parker has the right idea for a Sunday night. ❤️

Get comfy, settle in, and rest up for the week ahead.

Sweet dreams from this handsome boy and all of us at Happy Tales. 🐾❤️

A pretty beautiful way to wrap up the week. ❤️

A quiet creek, horses grazing, and the last light of the day settling over the sanctuary.

Sometimes these simple moments are everything.

Goodnight from Happy Tales. 🌅🐴❤️

It’s $5 Friday and someone would like to remind you that there are a LOT of mouths to feed around here. 😂❤️

Some of those mouths are just a little…scalier than others. 🦎

Nearly 60 animals call Happy Tales home, and keeping everyone fed, comfortable, safe, and cared for adds up quickly.

That’s why we love $5 Friday. Five dollars on its own may not seem like much, but when a bunch of people each toss $5 into the pot, those little gifts can make a really big difference for the animals.

We got an incredible reminder of that a couple of weeks ago. ❤️

If you have $5 to spare today, we’d be so grateful if you sent it their way. And if you can’t donate, a share is always appreciated too.

Link to donate below and in the comments!

Now, back to the very important business of eating. 😂🦎❤️

Just a little Thursday morning breakfast meeting. ❤️

Good food, good friends, and everyone gathered around the table…sanctuary style. 🐐🐷

Not a bad way to start the day.

Hope your Thursday is off to a good start too!

Just a little Wednesday evening hello from Spartan. ❤️

That sweet face and those magnificent ears deserve a spot on your feed tonight. 🫏

And apparently Eeyore thought he deserved a spot too. 😂❤️

Hope everyone is having a peaceful Wednesday evening!

Since we were already digging through the archives…here’s another little throwback. 🥹❤️

Baby Edwin AND baby Wallace when they first came to Happy Tales.

Look at those little faces! 🥹🐐🐐

These two were ridiculously cute right from the start, and this video was just too sweet not to share again. ❤️

A little baby goat goodness for your Tuesday!

A little Monday night throwback to baby Wallace. 🥹❤️

Those blue eyes. That tiny face. Those little legs.

He was ridiculously adorable from the very beginning, and clearly already knew how to work a camera. 😂

Some things never change. ❤️🐐

Who else would have had a hard time saying no to that face?

Sometimes Sunday looks like a little self care. ❤️

The creek, the quiet, and a good horse friend to keep you company.

A little time to sit, breathe, and just be.

The sanctuary takes care of my heart, too. ❤️🐴
