🥰🦮Farmer Mary and the Farmer’s Daughter took the six week old Golden Retriever puppies to a backyard Puppy themed Birthday 🥳Party this morning in Raleigh‼️ALL ages enjoyed meeting and petting the sweet fluffy puppies from Winterpast Farm. The puppies experienced their first car 🚗ride and had many other brand new experiences today like playing with bone shaped ice cubes‼️
🦮The puppies have just had one shot at this age so Farmer Mary covered the ground with sheets. Puppies feet shouldn’t touch the ground (except at home) until their series of three puppy vaccinations are complete.
🐶Parents of party guests were very happy to realize that the Puppy Adoption booth nearby involved ONLY stuffed animals!

Farmer Mary is working on updating the farm website: She has been VERY busy the last month sunup to sundown moving 20 years of running a petting zoo to the other side of the farm. A long unwanted legal battle with her older sister has finally ended and the courts “awarded” Farmer Mary the half of the land without a driveway, parking lot, barn, sunny pasture and a well. 🙁She very sadly had to rehome her larger animals including her beloved goats 🐐 , sheep 🐑 , emu, pigs 🐖 and CLAIRE donkey. 👍🏽Volunteer help as she creates Winterpast 2.0 is VERY welcome! Just text her at 9192441800 to offer help.
