Self-care… it’s mucking out, Dave snuggles, horse nudges and donkey cuddles 🫶
My Sunday reset looked like this:
✨ Mucking out the amazing family of horses and donkies
✨ Acting as chief treat provider!
✨ Selfishly stealing ALL the cuddles, kisses, and finger nibbles from Dave 🐑, the donkies and the horses.
(The goats were living their best lives under the excellent care of another sanctuary volunteer)
Life gets loud & heavy sometimes, clinic, studying (always more to learn- just because ive completed my MSc, doesnt mean the study stops), clinical responsibility, and sometimes the best way to switch off is to step completely into nature and give your time to something that simply exists without pressure or expectation.
Being here fills my cup. Animals, fresh air, muddy boots, and a reminder to slow down.
Sanctuaries like this run on kindness, volunteers, and donations, so if you’ve ever thought about visiting or supporting one, this is your sign 🧡
Touch grass. Hug a donkey. Highly recommend.
