Merry Christmas from Possum Valley

 

We would like to wish all of our Valley supporters a very Merry Christmas!

The days leading up to Christmas this year were hectic and hot, and some unexpected goodbyes have been tough on morale at this time of year. As always, amongst the challenging times have shone some very kind hearts, and a special thanks goes out to Yas and Jade for helping a newborn lamb find safety late on Christmas Eve, while Mark collected a new little ewe, Eve, from the pound. Little Eve is suspected to have fallen from a sheep carrier and found herself living life roadside until captured. She’s scared, skittish and currently quite inconsolable, but thankfully appears uninjured. While Eve is still overwhelmed with all she’s been through, we hope time and TLC will bring her comfort.

The Valley Volunteers

 

Even with all the busyness this time of year brings, we did manage to brave the hot conditions for a lovely volunteer morning tea with Anne’s famous fruit mince pies and Helen’s cute sugar sheep biscuits! Some of the flock got into the Christmas spirit, sporting their little antlers, and Fiona kitten enjoyed her first Sanctuary Christmas (especially the shiny baubles on the tree!).

Christmas is a time of hope, and we are thankful for everyone who makes a difference to the little lives that otherwise would fall under the radar. Christmas wishes to all the kind hearts out there - we couldn’t do it without you.
