Lady spent a few weeks near the barn, enjoying her jacuzzi foot soaks and extra attention. Eventually, we will build a second jacuzzi foot soak area in Yard 4. For now, that luxury is only available at the barn, and she has been taking advantage of the option daily.
We opened up Yard 5 to her, and she happily—and quickly—headed off. Within an hour, she was across the creek in the back of Yard 5, and she has been there since. She has been loving life and hanging out in the bushes, looking delighted. She is glowing, or as caretaker Shirlei says, “shining bright like a diamond.”

January 16, 2021 at 5:42 pmHow lovely to hear this, it’s so good to know that Lady can be alone as she chooses, that there is enough space for her. She might never want to be a close herd member, but surely she likes knowing her species is there, maybe in a year or so she will shining so bright she will be able to leave her fear behind.

January 16, 2021 at 8:29 pmBeautiful Ms Lady Bug! What a lucky gurl you are these days. I would give anything for a medicated foot soak. To say you are spoiled would be an understatement. To say that’s all deserving for you is the TRUTH! Enjoy SANCTUARY Lovely Lady! Keep shining!
