So on Saturday, I met my co-worker Crystal at a farm in Webster that has horses, ducks, a pot bellied pig, chickens, and goats. Why you ask? Well, because one day two weeks ago I was sitting at my desk thinking about yoga, and then I was thinking of goats. I put the two of them together and said to Crystal - goat yoga! I should do a fundraiser! Crystal is into yoga, and I should be, but am not, but we kind of ran with the idea. I put it out there on social media looking for a certified yoga instructor, and finally confirmed one that was willing to help me out with this. This awesome girl that owns the farm - Never Say Never Farms - I met when I had an urgent need to rescue an animal in dire need in the city recently. Her farm is '
...a small, (and very conveniently located!) family owned horse farm offering children’s lessons, fun programs, and parties on a more personal, "not-so-commercial" scale. Our caring, fun, nurturing instructors and event staff will make you feel right at home. We're a unique stables with a personal touch!
Here is the link to her website: http://www.neversayneverstables.com/
She offered up her land, and the goats to us for this fundraiser!
So, on September 30, 2018, at 10 am. sharp, we will host a goat yoga session. Sound like fun? It should be! Now, don't get your hopes up about the goats. They are not the most cooperative, like you see in a few videos of this being done (they will want to eat the grass and leaves around you rather than climb on your back - they are not trained for this), but they will surely put a smile on your face, and 45 mins. later, you should be feeling pretty great too.

There might even be a horse or two that you can do yoga on, as Janice, my friend mentioned!
We will be promoting this soon, and I hope you can join us.
With that being said, check this adorable footage out:

UPDATE on yesterday's catch. Peanut is doing well. We found a home for him, temporary, but a home for him so that he can become socialized and not have to go back to the street. I figured he is only about 10-12 weeks old, but a little spitfire. He is already calming down, says his foster mom Michelle. Thanks Michelle for stepping up to the plate for Peanut. (and others too!)
Kittens Baby Black and Baby Grey are doing so well. Momma Sue is really loving them, and putting in two hours every day of her life for them feeding them round the clock. They should be big and strong soon! Click on the link below to see Baby Grey eating!
