Upon arrival in Oregon, the horses face their next hurdle: recovery.

Veterinarians find them severely undernourished, a condition that emphasizes their past neglect.

Addressing these health issues is paramount, as the horses begin their recuperation in a nurturing environment designed to restore them to health.

Horse keeps escaping to visit his friends at dementia unit who love him and give him carrots

0

Panda, a palomino paint horse, spends her days being trained as a riding horse. But Panda seems to prefer horsing around instead.

If Panda had it her way, she’d visit the local dementia unit in town every day.

But for now, she’ll have to sneak out to see her friends who live there.

@maija.vance Slim Shady would never do that to me. #palominopaint #horses #equestrian #equestrianproblems #horsetok #horsetrends ♬ 2 Times – Original Extended – Ann Lee

“How many times has my horse got loose and run into the dementia unit in town and I had to ride him home…” Panda’s owner Maija Vance asks in a TikTok video.

The answer to that question is: twice.

Panda has gotten loose twice so far, forcing Vance to chase after her and ride her back home.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Maija Vance (@maija_vance)

You can hear Vance in her videos apologizing to others for her horse running around on the loose.

“I’m so sorry this has happened again,” she says.

But even Vance admits that Panda should have to bear all the blame.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Maija Vance (@maija_vance)

In fact, she takes 100 percent of the responsibility. She was just trying to do something nice for other people.

But, unfortunately, it backfired a bit.

“This is 100% my fault. I took him to the dementia unit to visit the patients. They loved him and gave him carrots. Now he tries to find ways to get loose and run into town and ends up back there.”

That’s what the onscreen text reads in one of Vance’s TikTok videos as she tries to coax her house into coming back home.

Commenters on TikTok believe that Panda would much rather be a therapy horse than a riding horse.

“He really wants to be a therapy pony…let him follow his dreams!” said one commenter.

@maija.vance Replying to @mercury.n.the.snail #therapyhorse #horses #palominopaint ♬ original sound – MAIJA

Others said he just likes being around his “friends” at the dementia unit.

“OK but this is so sweet. He wants to go back to see his friends,” said another commenter.

“As someone who works in a nursing home I can guarantee you the residents love it whenever they catch a glimpse and he is the talk of the town. Also personally my job satisfaction would be a lot higher if I had a random horse that occasionally appeared,” one person commented.

Horses are known to have excellent memories giving them the ability to remember people and faces.

But others say that he just really likes his carrots.

“Talk about ‘never forgetting.’ He only forgets what ‘woah’ means but not where he got carrots,” a TikToker said.

Apparently, horses actually “never forget.”

They especially remember friends ” and people who treated them well, according to NBC News.

In addition, they also understand words better than previously thought.

Horses have “excellent memories” so they can remember their human friends after being separated from them for a long time.

As well as intricate problem-solving strategies even after a decade or more.

Senior dog tucks himself to sleep at night waiting for new family at shelter

0

A senior Chihuahua’s life took a turn for the worst after his owner passed away. Like many who end up on the streets, he suddenly found himself all alone and sleeping in a homeless animal shelter.

So he found comfort the only way he knew how…by hiding under the blanket and crying himself to sleep.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by @scootersrescue

Since his owner was no longer there to tuck him safely into bed at night, he took it upon himself to get the task done. Every night before he went to sleep, Scooter would pull the blanket over his head.

No matter how cute it may have looked to the casual observer, the fear and worry on his face always remained.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by @scootersrescue

Staff at the Humane Society of Branch County could see how he was such a good, sweet boy, but they had worries of their own and weren’t sure if an elderly dog would get much attention from potential adopters.

“Just went back to say goodnight and lock up. This is Scooter. He tucks himself in at night. I pray someone adopts this boy soon…”

Jan Nageldinger, the manager at the no-kill shelter in Michigan, told The Dodo that at one point she thought that Scooter may end up spending the rest of his days at the shelter.

“But we had the space … We never turn them away.”

However, after the shelter shared a photo of Scooter tucked under his blankie, his life suddenly took off on a new trajectory!

Suddenly, everyone wanted to give the pup a home. But, Jessica Lynn Howard, who had previously adopted two other Chihuahuas from the shelter, was the lucky one who got to take the adorable doggy home.

A post shared by @scootersrescue

“I saw Jan’s Facebook post, along with the rest of the world,” Jessica told The Dodo. “My husband Tim and I were lying in bed and it … brought me to tears. Without hesitation, I showed Tim and I said, ‘I have to go get him.’”

Not only does Scooter get a new home, but he also gets some new play buddies as well!

A post shared by @scootersrescue

Jan and Tim live on a farm and they have 5 other dogs aside from Scooter. He’s so much happier now that he gets to spend the rest of his days frolicking around the big outdoors!

And when it’s time to rest, Scooter takes an afternoon snooze ON TOP of the blanket.

Even though his personality has changed for the better, some things stay the same. Apparently, Scooter is very attached to his regular bedtime routine.

“When it’s bedtime … he still tucks himself in. I’ve tried to tuck him in but he would rather do it himself. He has to get the covers just right. It’s really cute watching him.” – Jessica said.

Dad plays music in yard and wild fox returns each day for free concerts

In the serene Boulder Foothills of Colorado, Andy Thorn, a talented banjoist for Leftover Salmon, discovered he had an unexpected admirer right in his backyard.

While Andy often played his music outdoors, trying out new tunes and melodies, he never anticipated gaining such a loyal fanbase.

Meet Foxy, the music lover.

Among the various animals that his music attracted, from deer to turkeys, one particular fox stood out.

Andy affectionately named him Foxy.

This curious creature wasn’t just passing by; he was genuinely drawn to the music.

Every time Andy played, Foxy would settle down nearby, as if attending a private concert.

YouTube – The Dodo

He was a fox with a preference.

Intrigued by Foxy’s interest, Andy began experimenting with different instruments.

From the guitar to the fiddle, he played without any specific song in mind, letting the melodies flow.

It was clear that the banjo was Foxy’s favorite.

And not just any style of banjo playing, but a particular one.

Andy told The Dodo:

“He definitely reminded me to keep it simple. I normally play the banjo with picks on, and it’s a little bit flashier. He would just sort of run off or not be very interested. One day, I was playing clawhammer which is a simpler style, and I definitely noticed he was more into that.”

YouTube – The Dodo

It became a family affair.

Foxy’s love for music wasn’t a secret.

He often brought along his sister, mother, and sometimes even his entire family to enjoy Andy’s performances.

However, Andy always maintained a safe distance, understanding that not all foxes might share Foxy’s gentle demeanor.

Even the weather didn’t keep him away.

Foxy’s commitment as a fan was unwavering.

Come rain or snow, nothing could deter him from his musical rendezvous.

On snowy days, he’d still find his spot near Andy’s deck, proving that a little cold was a small price to pay for good music.

Andy shared his family too.

When Andy and his wife welcomed their son, the proud father introduced the little one to their furry fan.

Ensuring safety, Andy let his son observe Foxy from behind a glass window.

The child’s excitement was obvious every time he spotted the fox.

He’s very appreciative of all the unique experiences he’s been given.

Andy expressed his gratitude for their home in Boulder Foothills.

Not only did they have a breathtaking view to enjoy daily, but they also had the privilege of connecting with nature and its inhabitants.

Above all, the bond he formed with Foxy was truly special.

The internet has fallen in love with their sweet bond too.

One viewer commented:

“This is priceless. What a beautiful friendship, and I love that Foxy is still a wild fox. They’re not trying to tame him and make him a pet. It’s perfect. 🦊”

Andy’s story with Foxy is not just heartwarming but also highlights the unexpected ways in which we can form connections.

It’s a reminder that music is a powerful tool, capable of forging bonds in the unlikeliest of places.

Man rescues “deformed” cat from tool shed and vet claims he hasn’t seen anything like her

0

Lil Bub, a feline sensation, has taken the internet by storm, but her rise to fame was purely coincidental.

Mike Bridavsky stumbled upon this unique kitty in an Indiana tool shed a few years back.

Unlike her siblings, Lil Bub had a distinct appearance.

Mike humorously remarked to Mental Floss, suggesting that she might be an extraterrestrial being who crash-landed on Earth and mingled with a litter of Earth kittens to blend in.

The bond between Mike and Lil Bub was instantaneous.

As soon as he laid eyes on her, he scooped her up, and she began to purr contentedly in his hands.

Mike affectionately greeted her with, “Hey, Bub,” and she promptly dozed off on his shoulder.

It was then that Mike learned about the challenges Lil Bub faced in finding a forever home due to her special care requirements.

Lil Bub is no ordinary cat. She’s a “perma-kitten” with a severe form of dwarfism.

This condition gives her a unique appearance: her limbs are disproportionately small compared to her body, making movement a challenge.

Additionally, her lower jaw is shorter than her upper one, and she lacks teeth, causing her tongue to perpetually hang out.

YouTube

YouTube

Another fascinating aspect of Lil Bub is her polydactylism, meaning she has extra toes on all four paws.

Mike recalled, “She was very small, very strange, and even though she was irresistible, I think people were scared of the responsibility, medical bills, and potential heartbreak that seemed inevitable with a special cat, like BUB.”

Mike had initially thought that Lil Bub might have a short lifespan, but he was determined to provide her with a loving home and the care she needed.

Instagram

Upon adopting Lil Bub, Mike took her to a veterinarian.

The vet was taken aback by Lil Bub’s unique appearance, declaring her the most unusual cat he had ever encountered.

However, after a thorough examination, he assured Mike that, despite her peculiarities, Lil Bub was in relatively good health.

Instagram

Contrary to her physical challenges, Lil Bub is a spirited and joyful cat.

She enjoys spending quality time with Mike, especially at his recording studio.

Mike’s immense pride in Lil Bub led him to share her pictures on BUBlog, showcasing her endearing quirks to the world.

Lil Bub’s charm knows no bounds.

She has a dedicated book titled “Lil BUB’s Lil Book: The Extraordinary Life of the Most Amazing Cat on the Planet.”

This book showcases vibrant photos of her adventures, from soaring through space to leisurely naps and even skateboarding escapades.

Moreover, she has an array of merchandise, including shirts, toys, mugs, and even a bobblehead.

Her popularity skyrocketed further when Vice Media produced a documentary about her called “Lil Bubz and Friendz.”

But Mike and Lil Bub’s endeavors aren’t solely about fame.

They’re on a mission to raise awareness for homeless and special needs pets.

Their appearances across the US often require attendees to make donations, whether monetary or in the form of supplies, to the hosting shelters.

Their commitment to the cause is further evident through the Lil Bub Fund, where proceeds from their merchandise sales go to various shelters, including the Bloomington Animal Shelter, the Monroe County Humane Association, and the Exotic Feline Rescue Center.

Lil Bub’s story is not just about an adorable cat becoming an internet sensation.

It’s a testament to the profound impact animals can have on our lives.

Through Lil Bub, Mike’s perspective on life has transformed, and together, they continue to inspire and make a difference in the world.

Lonely mini horse melts hearts meeting new best friend who’s just his size

0

In the midst of the bustling horse market, a diminutive figure captured everyone’s attention.

Nano, a very small miniature horse, was more an attraction than a valued animal, languishing in poor health amidst the chaos of commerce.

Living up to his name, Nano earns attention by not fitting the large, grand, and impressive qualities we’ve come to expect from a horse.

As buyers and sellers haggled over more impressive specimens, Nano’s plight seemed to go unnoticed by most.

Yet, that day marked a turning point for Nano.

Alwyn Wils, known for his YouTube channel “A Chick Called Albert,” was there and took immediate notice.

Wils was familiar with rescuing animals in dire straits, and despite a vet’s grim prognosis about Nano’s chances of survival, he saw something worth saving.

Resolved, Wils adopted the miniature horse, determined to give him a fighting chance at a healthier life.

YouTube Screenshot

Once at Wils’ residence in Haarlem, Netherlands, it became clear that Nano needed more than just a safe environment.

Though the setting was an upgrade, Nano’s new life was lacking in companionship.

The family dogs paid him no mind, leaving the tiny horse isolated and visibly despondent.

Wils recognized the importance of companionship for Nano’s well-being and set out to find him a friend.

The perfect companion came in the form of Iris, another miniature horse who had suffered from neglect.

Confined to a small pen and lacking proper care, Iris was in desperate need of rescue herself.

Wils brought Iris home, hopeful that her presence would enrich Nano’s life just as much as he believed his sanctuary could improve hers.

The introduction of Iris to Nano was nothing short of magical.

Their connection was immediate and heartwarming, described as love at first sight.

This bond swiftly changed their lives; the two horses began to show marked improvements in their health and their spirits.

Some old tender-loving care always does wonders for animals, and it didn’t fail this time either.

YouTube Screenshot

As both Nano and Iris adjusted to their new life together, Wils faced the practicalities of their care.

Both horses needed more space and specialized care to maintain their health and happiness.

Rising to the challenge, Wils secured accommodations that offered ample space and a suitable environment for the miniature horses to continue their recovery.

Iris, however, showed some initial difficulties with mobility.

After consulting with a vet, it was determined that she needed more exercise to strengthen her muscles and regain normal movement.

Wils was committed to their well-being and began incorporating daily walks for both horses, which not only helped Iris but also kept Nano active and healthy.

As the health of both horses improved, the possibility of breeding them became a topic of discussion.

The vet who had initially doubted Nano’s survival was now astonished by his recovery.

However, the idea of breeding brought about mixed feelings and a complex set of considerations about the future and what was best for Nano and Iris.

Nano and Iris’ story definitely touched audiences all over the world, thanks to Wils’ documentation and sharing of their journey.

Their tale of resilience and recovery under Wils’ care drew attention and support from the community.

Some suggested expanding rescue efforts rather than breeding.

People can always make a life-changing difference in an animal’s life by just choosing to care, and that was on full display here.

Dad earns over 11M views with hilarious video showing why you “never ignore a Weimaraner”

0

Weimaraners are often likened to the perpetual two-year-olds of the canine world, known for their boundless energy and constant need for attention.

Gus, a rescued Weimaraner, is a perfect example of these characteristics.

With his big, endearing eyes and remarkable patience, he’s absolutely adorable in how he goes the extra mile to catch his owner’s attention.

YouTube – TheBinghamHouse

The Weimaraner Club of America describes these dogs well.

According to them, one characteristic that defines all Weimaraners is they’re love of people.

They say, “It’s hard to generalize about the Weimaraner personality but a core trait, that runs in the veins of all of them, is that they are people-centric. They love the company of humans to the point that they will follow you around your house like a second shadow. Weimaraners are always underfoot, curious, wanting to be involved in your activities.”

YouTube – TheBinghamHouse

One day, Gus’s owner decided to play a little game with him.

He wanted to see how Gus would react if he didn’t give him any attention. Right from the start, it was evident that Gus wasn’t thrilled about this game.

Standing on his hind legs with his front paws resting on his owner’s lap, Gus made it abundantly clear that he was there and ready for some attention.

YouTube – TheBinghamHouse

The owner would occasionally glance at Gus, which only seemed to make him more impatient.

Gus tried everything, from placing a paw on his owner’s shoulder to maintaining eye contact.

However, his efforts were met with only fleeting eye contact and no petting or conversation.

In an interesting twist, Gus decided to change his approach.

He flipped the script and ignored his owner – but still stayed close, of course.

YouTube – TheBinghamHouse

This mutual ignoring game didn’t last long.

Gus, being the attention-loving Weimaraner he is, couldn’t resist breaking the silence.

Throughout the whole exchange, Gus’s tail wagged excitedly, revealing his inability to truly ignore his owner.

When all else failed, Gus resorted to barking, which briefly grabbed his owner’s attention. But when this tactic failed too, Gus decided his dad wasn’t worth his attention anymore.

Despite his owner’s attempts to coax him back, Gus remained stubborn.

Instead, he shifted his focus to his human mom behind the camera.

Gus was determined to get the attention he craved and deserved from his mom.

His interest was piqued when she began whispering, “Do you want food? Are you hungry? What do you want? Go get your dish.”

The mere mention of food was enough to grab any dog’s attention.

Gus moved closer to the kitchen counter, signaling his desire for food. However, he didn’t move to get his dish.

After being ignored by his dad, he felt he deserved to be served by his mom.

Without delay, Gus scampered off, probably to fetch his dish and enjoy a well-deserved meal.

“Once we got home it was as if Brutus just knew Finn needed some extra close monitoring, and he has been by his side ever since.”

The benefits of growing up with a pet, especially a dog, are countless.

They teach kids about responsibility, empathy, and compassion.

More than that, pets offer a unique kind of comfort and stress relief for children, always there to listen and cuddle.

For Finn, Brutus has been more than a pet – he’s been a guardian angel and a source of constant comfort.

Paige has been capturing the journey of Finn and Brutus, sharing adorable moments of them snuggled up together.

She confidently says:

“I was not concerned Brutus would get annoyed because he has tolerated and behaved so incredibly well in other situations, so Finn rolling and climbing around him was something I knew he would not be fazed by. Brutus insists on being in Finn’s room and he’s not the kind of dog to do something he doesn’t want to do, no one is forcing him to be in that situation.”
