Welcome Molly to the M Family Farm!
Molly was rescued last year from an out of state auction that shall remain unnamed. She had severe uveitis (eye inflammation) that had been left untreated by previous owner and she was obese. The auction was running her through as pregnant ( with a stud colt!) and about 10 years old. They get more money for them that way, but it was all lies … The rescue woman extraordinaire saw her suffering , bought her and brought her home to care for her. After extensive attempts, her eyes could not be saved but Miss Molly has shown the world she is just fine as she is- she has been here for two days and is already navigating her paddock with Lacey just fine, it’s amazing, almost unbelievable, and we love her so much already. Lacey approves too, she’s wearing a small bell which I have braided into her mane that tells Molly where she is. …. it’s a beautiful thing.
I hope all is well in your world. Lord knows if you follow any media it looks like the world has gone to hell in a handbasket and there’s plenty to back that up… however, there is so much good and so much beauty and so much inspiration if we only seek it, and most often it’s there right in front of our eyes, sometimes in the smallest of ways and in the every day. Believe it.
Sharing a Black Magic Chocolate Cake recipe here with you, I plan to try it soon, but it looks divine!
So glad Molly has found a wonderful home with you! Gawd, that chocolate cake looks good! (*drool*)
Okay then, this one made me cry pretty hard. What a sweet sweet baby and how sweet is this story. Thank goodness for that rescue woman is all I can say. All my pets for 30-40 years have been rescues ad all of them have been loves. They give more than they get back is my thinking.
Karen! You are extraordinaire yourself you know. xxoo
Back at you, Deb!!
The perfect anecdote for a crazy world — chocolate cake! And a good rescue story too. Thanks for sharing and caring.
I’ve made my world very small to protect my emotions. It is so easy to be overwhelmed by the insanity. I connect with the positive on social and deleted the negative and fluff. I donate as much as I can to several groups doing kind, worthwhile things for the world. Two are rescues, goats/ dogs. One is where Walter came from.
These incredible creatures teach us so much about what has value.
Molly is lucky and so is your family; to be able to share and receive such love.
Except for the coffee that is my mom’s recipe for her “famous cake”. She always frosted with the cocoa can’s recipe and made double so there was about 1 inch of frosting all over. oh my!
OH, I hear you! It’s horrendous. I don’t watch the news anymore. Give this recipe a go, I just made it and WOW, it’s REALLY REALLY GOOD!
You’re a good egg, Suzan. One of the best I know 🙂
Heartbreaking that she was so abused. It’s wonderful that you are giving Molly a good life.
That cake sure looks good!
Molly is so so cute, and she could not be with a better family to love and take care of her. She seems to be doing so well even without eyesight. You guys amaze me with all you’re doing. Plus I don’t know HOW you do it all.
Note: I’ve finally made a blog post.
xoxo
You have a big heart, my friend.
I am so glad you took Molly on and she has fitted right into the family. She looks a poppet. That bell in the mane works a treat.
Will pass on the chocolate cake, though it looks scrummy – I’ve just had a friend here for a week an eaten far too much!!
