Henry’s Homecomings: Boggs Funny Farm’s Cutest Resident
Every farm has its star, and at Boggs Funny Farm, that honor belongs to Henry. No offense to the chickens, goats, or even the stubborn old donkey who thinks he runs the place—but Henry steals the show every single time. With his floppy ears, boundless energy, and habit of making grand entrances, Henry has turned ordinary days into unforgettable “homecomings.”
The thing about Henry is, he doesn’t just walk into a room—or a pasture, or a pen. He arrives. Whether he’s been out exploring or simply lounging in the sun, his returns to the barnyard are pure theater. The goats bleat, the chickens scatter, and the humans? Well, we can’t help but laugh. He struts in like a celebrity at a red-carpet premiere, tail wagging as if paparazzi bulbs are flashing.
His favorite trick is to come barreling toward us full speed, ears flapping like he’s auditioning for an energy drink commercial. You hear the thump-thump-thump of his paws before you even see him, and by the time he’s close enough, you’ve got two choices: brace yourself or get bowled over. More than once, I’ve ended up flat on my back in the grass, laughing so hard I forget to be mad. Henry’s homecomings are less about grace and more about joy—big, messy, unstoppable joy.
One of my favorite stories happened on a Saturday morning. We had visitors—families touring the farm, kids eager to feed the goats and hold baby chicks. Everything was calm and charming… until Henry decided to make his grand entrance. He came racing around the barn, skidding through a puddle, and launched himself right into the middle of the crowd. Donuts went flying, juice boxes toppled, and one little boy squealed, “It’s a puppy stampede!” Instead of chaos, though, it turned into comedy gold. Parents pulled out their phones, kids squealed with delight, and Henry basked in the attention like he’d been planning the stunt all along.
But Henry isn’t just about the laughs. His homecomings are also the sweetest reminders of loyalty and love. Every time we’ve been away—even just a quick run into town—he greets us with the same enthusiasm, like we’ve returned from a year-long voyage. There’s something humbling about being welcomed back with that much excitement, no matter how long you’ve been gone. In Henry’s world, every homecoming is worth celebrating.
The other animals seem to have picked up on his spirit too. The goats trail behind him as if they’re his entourage, the chickens flap nervously but always circle back, and even the donkey lets out a begrudging bray, as if admitting Henry’s the true star.
Life on the farm isn’t always glamorous—it’s muddy, noisy, and sometimes downright exhausting. But Henry reminds us daily that joy doesn’t need to be complicated. A wagging tail, a clumsy sprint, a too-big leap into waiting arms—these are the things that turn an ordinary day into something extraordinary.
So yes, we may have cows that moo, goats that bleat, and chickens that cackle, but when it comes to the heart and humor of Boggs Funny Farm, it all comes back to Henry. He’s not just the cutest resident—he’s the farm’s welcome committee, morale booster, and chief happiness officer, all rolled into one floppy-eared package.
