Jenny Marrs, the beloved host of HGTV’s “Fixer to Fabulous,” recently updated her followers on the health status of the family farm’s newest member, a baby lamb named Tommy. Fans got to know Tommy through Marrs’ Instagram updates, where she didn’t hold back on the trials and triumphs of caring for the little lamb.
Tommy’s Health Journey
Tommy has been fighting an infection that temporarily left him blind. The infection was a result of a weak immune system, which was a result of not receiving enough nutrients from his mother at birth. However, in her June 15 Instagram post, Jenny assured fans that little Tommy is on his way to recovery.
In response to a follower’s query on Tommy’s condition, Jenny shared, “he is sick with an infection because his immune system is weak from not getting enough nutrients from mama at birth.” Despite the challenges that Tommy faced, fans and Jenny remained optimistic about his recovery.
Adopting Tommy: How it All Started
The lamb-puppy journey started with an act of neighborliness. Baby lamb Tommy’s mother did not produce enough milk to keep him nourished. Jenny stepped in to help by offering to bottle-feed their neighbor’s lamb. This act of kindness led to an adorable bond between Jenny and Tommy.
Jenny’s initial introduction of Tommy to her followers was on May 21. She noted that Tommy had started following her everywhere and even cried when she left him alone. Despite trials to leave him in the pasture, Tommy was having none of it and sought to be near Jenny.
Fans were thrilled to learn of his progress in Jenny’s June 15 update. The lamb’s antics have kept her followers entertained with videos of a playful Tommy chasing her husband, Dave Marrs, around their yard.
A Peek into the Marrs’ Berry Fest
The Marrs family is known not just for their vibrant online presence but also for their contribution to the community. They organize an annual event called Berry Fest on their blueberry fields. The fest involves live music, local vendors, and blueberry picking.
In her recent Instagram update, Jenny also informed her fans that they are a week away from the Berry Fest. She added that a few tickets for the Saturday, June 22 event were still up for grabs.
All proceeds from Berry Fest will be directed to support Help One Now’s community care efforts in Zimbabwe and Belize. This underscores the family’s commitment to giving back to society.
Excitingly, in the 2024 event, Jenny mentioned that they will be joined by John and Orpah, Zimbabwean leaders who embody a spirit of generosity and selfless leadership which the family looks up to.
In conclusion, the Marrs family continues to inspire with their spirit of community, neighborliness, and care for animals and the environment. While the world watches Tommy’s recovery, it also anticipates the upcoming Berry Fest. This blend of caring for animals and contributing to human wellbeing defines the unique essence of the Marrs family.
