Dear Santa Claus, Well now then, I'm an old lady but have never yet written a letter to a MAN. Never mind a man I haven't even met. I'm not sure how I feel about this. [michelle is blind and long in the tooth but so glad to write Santa. Read her full letter: Santa.stargazingfarm.org DAY 1] #santa

Mamie requires back massages when kitchen chores are being done; even a brief lapse will set her off with shrill barking and yelling so loud it is beyond any human’s ability to bear. #demandingdog #noisydog #cattledog #dogmassage #dogservant #farmsanctuarylife

Sweet Bruno. He was at an auction facing the unthinkable when, miraculously someone saved him. He’s got only one eye but apparently this does not stop him from navigating to “The Source” - the door whence all food emanates 🤣 #rescuehorse #oneeyedhorse #horseonaporch #farmsanctuarylife

Sheep are such wonderful cooperative creatures. If these were goats, 2 would be standing right on top of the hay, 2 would be trying to knock them off and the fifth would be grabbing as much food as possible 🤣 #cooperativesheep #sheepvsgoats #peacefulsheep #sheepsanctuary #farmsanctuarylife

New hoodies have arrived in new colors! It’s getting chilly out there- why not keep warm and support our animals in style? We don’t do a lot of “swag” but these hoodies will be pretty darn handy as we move from fall into winter. ❄️🥶 shop.stargazingfarm.org/product/hood...

Pancha (turkey) and Mimi (hen) suffer from a similar birth defect with their legs. They love to eat, and they love to be with each other. They love the sunshine and being out in the grass. I’m glad that they have some happiness and comfort right now. #specialneedsanimals #specialneedsanimalsanctuary

Many pet owners are having financial trouble with the current state of affairs in this country … and are relinquishing their animals in record numbers. 😢 Star Gazing Farm is quoted in this article 💕 www.baltimoresun.com/2025/11/05/a...

Maryland animal groups strained by shutdown, SNAP uncertainty: ‘We already can’t help enough’

The government shutdown could pressure pet owners to surrender their animals, but Maryland rescue groups say that should be the last resort.

Who needs a figurehead when you can have matching vultures on either side of your barn? Oliver and Gladys have definitely become some kind of mascot. They’ve been around at least 15 or 16 years. #blackvulture #blackvultures #vulturelife #vulturelove

Falkor, surveying his land. I’m not sure how this is possible, but this baaaad goat seems to never stop growing. He’s as tall as a pony and showing no signs of stopping. Beware, all ye who enter the Kingdom of Falkor. #falkor #lamanchagoat #lamanchagoats #badgoat #naughtygoat #farmsanctuarylife

Marguerite is not a subscriber to “sharing is caring.” When asked about her outburst, she said, “dinner is way too important to waste on friends.” Good to know where we stand. 😳🤦‍♀️🦙#alpacanoise #alpacabehaviour #farmsanctuarylife #farmanimalsanctuary #alpacalife

Best friends. Wilbur and Dwayne. Wilbur is a bit of a wild child, yet is always sweet with his sheep Dwayne. Which just goes to show that no one is ever just one thing. #bestanimalfriends #bestanimalfriend #sheepandcow #interspeciesfriendship #farmsanctuarylife #farmanimalsanctuary

Well, something is going on here. But can I just say that Wilbur (black steer) came to us as a baby with such a bad knee injury that we weren’t sure if he would walk properly. Now, 2 years later, he tears around the field like a pro athlete. #rescuecow #farmsanctuarylife #farmanimalsanctuary

Dwayne is a very shy sheep who came with 8 other Sheep seized by Animal Control and was always the most skittish. He loves the cows and has also learned that certain humans carry cookies. This is a very, very dear Sheep and Ihe now knows that he is loved. #shysheep #rescuedsheep #sheepsanctuary

Alpacas: “look,man, we’ve just been hanging around all day. Don’t look at us.” Sheep 1: “omg, should we say something?” Sheep 2: “shh, they’ll hear you.” Sheep 1: “but the alpacas did it.” Sheep 2: “hush, do you want to be next?” Winston: “Ahh, this is a great spot to get some sun.” #animaldrama

So sweet to see Tony (far right) cuddling with Ray Ray. But Falkor! Look at that goat! This photo was taken from inside the house (which is why the quality is not so great) and yet there he is staring right at me from 100 yards away 🤦‍♀️ #hypervigilantgoat #goatfriends
