Tatonka Chews Grass

Quick post! Tatonka is now about 9 weeks old and he’s 3 weeks out from having major orthopedic surgeries. It sure doesn’t seem like he’s much bigger than he was at 6 weeks!

Tatonka still cannot stand up without a lot of help. The newest addition to his therapy program is hydrotherapy, which started on Wednesday.

Here is the 1 minute video I took today of the cutie pie chewing on some grass and making his adorable baby goat sounds:

Tatonka lives at New Moon Farm Goat Rescue & Sanctuary, located in Arlington, WA.

If you’d like to visit the farm, show up at the farm on Sunday August 4, 2013 between the hours of 11 AM & 4 PM for the annual “Open Barn” event.

The Shire Cafe in Arlington, WA

Yes…there IS a vegetarian restaurant in Arlington, WA.  Who knew?  (Me!)

I actually found out about The Shire Cafe when I started volunteering at  New Moon Farm Goat Rescue and Sanctuary four years ago (which is also located in Arlington).

On Fridays, I scoop the poop at the farm, and then I eat lunch at The Shire Cafe– with the owner of the goat rescue (my friend 🙂 ).  On weekends, after mountain biking, Eric and I like to drop in for a cold Mirror Pond and some dinner.

Located in the same building (the Mirkwood), is Mordor Tattoo.  Savannah did my “vegan” wrist tattoo.

The Mirkwood has an ongoing live music schedule.  (Past our bedtimes!)

Back to the food!!

Just about everything on the menu can be made vegan.  There’s always a homemade vegan soup of the day.  Most entrees come with salad, soup or fries.  I highly recommend the soup, no matter what flavor is featured.  Here are some pictures to make your mouth water 🙂 …

Are you hungry for some vegan food yet?

*April 2018 update: this is no longer a vegetarian restaurant. Vegan options are plentiful, but they do serve animal products.
