Sanny Day
I love this video because it captured the atmosphere at the Sanctuary. The babies look funny, playful, peaceful, and happy, as they should be. I chose to include Julia because she became an icon here. She was the only cow I was able to rescue so far, long exploited by the milk industry. She lived a brief life with us, but she was content and knew no more harm would come to her. So I know she died in peace, knowing her baby Joy was safe. ♥️ Thank you for reading this post and for supporting our project. It truly means a lot🐄💚🐄
Joy’s rescue
In February 2023 the Sanctuary welcomed Julia and her son, Joy. She was extremely sick and Joy was still dependent on her milk. Even though I didn’t have all the resources to help her, I knew she would die a horrible death if not immediayely assisted (she was being eaten alive by worms and had already lost one of her ears). Besides, she was cadaveric and needed proper food to gain weight and breastfeed her baby. I did all that was in my power to see her healthy. Our vet was constantly checking on her, doing ultrasounds, giving her vitamins and, of course, antibiotics for the infection. But Julia was too weak and didn’t live much longer. I miss her everyday.💔 Joy mourned his mom deeply, but has now recovered from that grieving period. He’s constantly spoiled by his uncles, Benjamin and Walter. He eats well and lives a normal life, but I’m constantly paying attention to details, just to make sure he is really ok. He’s the cutest thing, very delicate and sweet. Hope you love him as much as I do.
