🐷 Farm Drama: The Great Stick Heist 🐷

Garfield apparently decided to do something sweet and bring Siri a gift.

There was just one tiny problem…

The stick belonged to Thor. 😂

Garfield proudly carried his newly acquired treasure over to Siri, ready to present his offering, when Thor came flying in at the very last second and reclaimed his property.

Never a dull moment with these guys.

Farm Fact: Pigs are incredibly curious and playful animals, and they’ll often carry, toss, push, and investigate objects with their mouths and snouts. Giving them safe objects to explore is a great form of enrichment.

Big Hearts, Happy Hooves. 🐷❤️

While the other piglets are busy playing, exploring, and getting into whatever trouble they can find, this little one decided Siri’s lap was the perfect place to completely clock out.

Farm Fact: Piglets are very social sleepers and naturally seek warmth and security when they rest. Piling up with their siblings, their mom, or apparently a trusted human helps them feel safe and comfortable.

🚨 New Enrichment Inspection Complete 🚨

Here at FrizzleBops Farm, every new enrichment project goes through a rigorous inspection process before it earns our seal of approval. Structural integrity, balance, entertainment value, snack accessibility, nothing is overlooked.

That’s why we called in the experts.

Artie, Olaf, Pixie, and Anna immediately got to work, performing repeated stress tests, balance evaluations, and extensive quality control. After several minutes of highly scientific investigation and a few goat shenanigans, we’re happy to report that the new teeter totter has officially passed inspection.

Their invoice is expected to arrive in hay.

Farm Fact: A goat’s sense of balance is so good that they can confidently navigate ledges only a few inches wide. Their split hooves and incredible coordination make climbing and balancing second nature.

Big Hearts. Happy Hooves. ❤️🐐

🚨Morning Barn Update🚨

We caught the sweetest moment on video this morning at FrizzleBops Farm 🐐💚

Olaf wandered over to share some hay with one of our new babies, and for the most part they’ve been keeping a very respectful distance from each other. But today… a little breakthrough happened.

The baby was very determined to protect his hay (and his brother!) and kept gently pushing Olaf back whenever he got a little too close. It wasn’t pushy or mean just that adorable “this is mine, but I see you” kind of boundary setting.

And honestly? It’s been so heartwarming to watch these slow, careful introductions. Every day they’re getting a little more comfortable, a little more curious, and a little more accepting of each other.

Tiny steps, big progress.

Farm Fact: Goats have rectangular pupils that give them an incredible wide field of vision. This helps them spot movement from almost every direction at once, which is especially useful for staying alert while they’re busy climbing, exploring, and getting into mischief.

🐷 Wink Update 🐷

For everyone who’s been following Wink’s journey, we wanted to share one of the sweetest moments we’ve seen yet. ❤️

This video features Puku, Wink’s dad and the biggest pig on the farm, enjoying some hay while his tiny daughter waddles right up to investigate. She sniffs him from every angle, trying to figure out what he’s doing, and Puku couldn’t be more gentle. He patiently lets her explore, never rushing her or pushing her away. It almost feels like a proud dad letting his little girl learn about the world at her own pace.

Watching these two together is enough to melt your heart.

Wink has put on a healthy amount of weight, is growing stronger every day, and is learning to rely on her incredible sense of smell, hearing, and touch to navigate the world around her. Every day she grows a little more confident, a little more curious, and a little more independent.

To everyone who has followed her story from the beginning, thank you. Your encouragement has meant so much to us, and we’re excited to keep sharing her journey with you.

Farm Fact: A pig’s sense of smell is one of the strongest in the animal kingdom. They use it to recognize family members, find food, explore their surroundings, and communicate with one another. For Wink, that amazing nose is helping open up a whole new world. 🐽

A huge thank you to Hailey for taking such great care of our crew this afternoon! ❤️🐴

She trimmed Sugar, worked on Dreamie, and even took a few extra minutes to check over our donkeys to make sure everyone was in great shape. It’s always reassuring to have someone who is so knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about the animals she works with.

At FrizzleBops Farm, our motto is “Big Hearts, Happy Hooves,” and this is exactly what the Happy Hooves part is all about. Making sure our animals receive quality care from trusted professionals is one of the best ways we can give them the healthy, comfortable lives they deserve.

If you’re looking for a dependable farrier who takes pride in her work and treats every animal with kindness and respect, we can’t recommend Hailey enough. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of our animals!

Farm Fact: A horse’s hoof is made of keratin, the same protein found in our fingernails, and it grows continuously throughout the horse’s life. Without regular trimming every 6–8 weeks, hooves can become overgrown, affecting a horse’s balance, comfort, and even the health of its joints and tendons. That’s why regular farrier visits are one of the most important investments you can make in a horse’s long-term health.

🚨 New Arrival Alert 🚨

A big FrizzleBops Farm welcome to our two newest boys!

They’ve already made themselves right at home and wasted no time helping themselves to the hay feeder I built. I’d say they’re settling in just fine.

One of these handsome guys, our black and white buck, may even have a very important future here at the farm. If all goes well, we’re hoping he’ll eventually become Pixie’s mate and help us grow our little goat family.

Now comes the hard part… figuring out what to name them!

Have any name ideas? Drop them in the comments. We can’t wait to introduce these boys properly as they settle into the herd.

Farm fact: Goats don’t use their lips the way horses do when they eat. Instead, they use their incredibly agile tongues and split upper lips to carefully grab the leaves, stems, and hay they want, making them surprisingly picky eaters.

Oh come on! 😂

This morning we installed a brand new pig pool because of the heat. Nice, clean, plenty of room… the whole package.

The pigs took one look at it and said, “Thanks, but we’ll stick with the water trough.”

Now there are two pigs happily lounging in the trough while the others stand around waiting for their turn like they’re in line for the hottest vacation spot on the farm. At this point, we’re convinced it’s not about staying cool anymore. It’s about keeping the tradition alive.

You can lead a pig to a pool, but apparently you can’t make it swim.

Farm fact: Pigs are surprisingly social animals. They’ll often choose to rest, eat, and even cool off together rather than spread out, which is why one pig climbing into the trough usually turns into a full-on pig party. 🐷💦

With the heat warning in effect today, Siri and I spent part of the morning digging the hole for the new Piggy Pool. Meanwhile, Spartacus decided she wasn’t waiting for construction to finish and turned the water trough into her own private resort. Puku was supporting her from the mud, patiently waiting for his turn.

Honestly, they might be onto something.

Keeping our animals cool during these Florida heat waves is one of our biggest priorities, so we’re excited to get the Piggy Pool finished soon.

Farm fact: Pigs can’t sweat, so they depend on water and mud to cool themselves down. What looks like a relaxing soak is actually one of the most important ways they stay safe during extreme temperatures.

Stay cool out there, and make sure your animals have plenty of fresh water and shade today. 🐷💦

Some of you have been following along with our newest litter, and today we’re finally ready to introduce someone very special.

This is Wink.

Wink was born blind. One eye is permanently blind, and we’re still hopeful the other may improve. She’s also the smallest piglet in the litter, which meant she started life with two big obstacles stacked against her.

Around here, though, we don’t believe in giving up on animals.

From day one, Siri has been helping Wink latch onto mom during feedings, making sure her bigger siblings don’t push her aside, and spending extra time getting her comfortable with human touch. Those first 72 hours are incredibly important because piglets need colostrum to build their immune systems, and thanks to a lot of patience and determination, Wink made it through that critical stage.

She’ll still need help finding mom for another month or two, but every single day she’s getting stronger. Her weight has improved dramatically, she’s becoming more confident, and she’s starting to show us exactly how much fight she has in that tiny little body.

As you’ll see in this video, she’s already discovered one of her favorite things in the world… belly rubs.

We don’t know exactly what the future holds for Wink, but we do know this: she won’t face it alone.

Welcome to the FrizzleBops family, little miracle. We can’t wait for everyone to watch you grow.

Farm Fact: Pigs have an incredible sense of smell and can quickly learn routines, voices, and gentle touch. Even a blind pig can navigate its world remarkably well by relying on its nose, hearing, and memory. 💚
