Happy Father's Day!
It's that time of year to say, "thank you" to the person who takes care of some of our little friends.
He does plenty of dad things from planting trees ...
Deciding on what to do with subs and bits ...
Clearing out the snow ...
Getting signs to protect the neighborhood ...
Putting saddles on to protect hens backs ...
Giving them noodle treats for Christmas ...
Giving Rudy the turtle, who just showed up one day, a rock to rest on at the pond.
Thanks to the great idea from @ExpectingStorms, the turtle Rudy now has a sun rock. Rudy is a friendly turtle who recently showed up at the ducks. pic.twitter.com/xYBHeoYM4u

And having some Easter fun ...
Not to mention all the building FarmerSpence has done for the animals.

Taking in abandoned or injured animals ...
He bolted. This frizzle rooster has been down at our mailboxes for two days. I almost had him tonight, but he knows this mountainside better than I do. Little guy, I'm just trying to give you a comfy place to live. You're currently in a nice place but it's not safe. pic.twitter.com/7785MRFTFG

This morning, I came upon a duck who got hit by a car. 😢 Looks like her leg is broken. I'm putting a splint on it. She looks like a fighter. 💕 Hopefully she makes a full recovery. pic.twitter.com/LmpX2iwooV

Then there's FarmerSpence being a 'mom' to a baby ram ...
— FarmerSpence (@farmer_spence) May 6, 2021
And like most dad's, he always seems to find a way to get hurt. From a feisty ram AND sheep ...
Injuring a hand ...
Bonking himself on the head ...
And a thorn ...
Yet he always remains our Disney Princess at heart.

So we all say "HAPPY FATHER'S DAY" to FarmerSpence. Who's been the best parent the animals could ever have.
