Sanctuary Strip — Jute And The Hose

jute discovers that wrestling a garden hose is way harder than it looks.

🐾About Jute

sanctuary-stripjute

A herd of Boer goats — predominantly chestnut-brown with long floppy ears and curved horns, along with several brown-and-white and solid dark individuals — mill about in front of a corrugated metal run-in shelter at dusk. A large golden shade sail stretches overhead, casting soft shadow across the hay-covered ground. Desert mountains ridge the horizon under a pale evening sky, and metal panel fencing frames the dusty yard on either side.

Sanctuary Strip — The Great Escape Artist

kroo attempts an impossible feat of freedom that ends exactly as poorly as you'd expect.

🐾About Kroo

sanctuary-stripkroo

A large pot-bellied pig with dark gray, bristled fur stands with snout lowered to a straw-covered dirt floor, appearing to root or sniff the ground in bright midday sun. Shot from a low, close angle, the pig dominates the foreground with its rounded, compact body and wrinkled face, while a second light-colored pig rests near a red feeder and wire enclosure in the background. A leafy green tree and vivid blue sky are visible behind a partially shaded outdoor pen structure.
