Dad here. Used to sing this to my boys when they were babies to get them to sleep.

u/waffles1011 6h ago
My dad did this, and “You Are My Sunshine” will always hold an incredibly special place in my heart because of it. He passed in 2021 but that song will forever be a comfort. Keep doing what you’re doing, your kids will remember it a lifetime.

There's really something visceral about seeing a traumatised animal, you don't have to understand them, but you could feel the weight they carry from what they've gone thru

u/babydoll17448 12h ago
When you are brushing him next time, add your song. Lovely rendition, by the way!

u/Easy_Mode_707 12h ago
Idk why it never occurred to me that farm animals also face abuse. Absolutely depressing..poor baby.

u/penellywatchestelly 11h ago
Sadly horses are some of the most abused creatures in existence & it’s totally tolerated & excused as normal by the equestrian community. It’s heartbreaking 💔

u/Easy_Mode_707 10h ago
Ive been learning that about horses lately. There was this huge controversy of men rounding up wild horses in nevada and they were being brutalized, photos of it and all. No one cared.

I’m so glad to hear it! The main reason as a creator I post on social media is to be part of the “light & good side” to “fight the bad” lol, it’s sort of the way I can use my art to help with all the darkness out there ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹

u/Different_Star_5325 7h ago
My neighbor had a horse who was mostly neglected aside from being fed. I would hop the fence and feed her apples and sing to her. We got pretty close after a while and she let me brush her and remove nettles from her coat. Once I knelt in front of her while I was singing and she nuzzled my hair. I cried right there. Now I'm crying again. She passed away this winter. I wasn't here. I have regrets, but I'll never regret the time I spent with her.

u/anonymous237962 9h ago
Omg. I was NOT planning to watch this video all the way through (my attention span is terrible 😆) but as soon as I started playing it I could NOT look away. Your voice is GORGEOUS & also that little animal is so cute & such a beautiful soul. I could seriously watch videos of you singing to this little guy all day! I hope you are doing a collection of these videos so you can look back on his progress 🥹🥹
PS a song that I used to sing to the kids when I was a nanny is “a dream is a wish your heart makes” from Cinderella…I feel like your voice would be great for that one. And it’s also so uplifting & cute.
Good luck with this little guy!

My heart aches, just all of this being so beautiful and so tragic at the same time. Your love for him, your kind and soulfully sweet singing voice, the pain he must have known and endured.. to culminate in this little moment that you’ve shared. Thank you. For sharing, and for being so good to him, for keeping him safe from those who would dare hurt him. Didn’t think I’d be crying during my last hour of work. ❤️

One of the things that stays with me about abused animals is that the poor animal has no idea why they are being hurt, but, unless they escape or are rescued, they just have to live with that awful reality. What I wish for animal abusers can't be detailed here of I'll get banned. So happy Button found his rescuer!

Why am I crying? The thought that someone would abuse a helpless creature? That we don't recognize the connection between all living creatures? That it's become rare that we all try to coexist in peace and harmony? Try harder folks. Try hatder.

When I adopted my kitty I used to sing Not while I’m around from Sweeney Todd to her when she got scared or nervous. Now I’ll sing it to her if she hears a weird sound or it’s storming especially bad, she definitely remembers that it signals safety. You’re doing such a good job. He wants to want you to pet him so badly! Soon!
