Moving manure!

We could probably be seen from outer space with our design of manure in the field. Thanks to the able help of Adam, the brew master, we were able to work 8 hours and spread most of the summers supply of manure. As you can see, we left some of the precious stuff in a pile so anyone in need of manure for their gardens will be able to help themselves.

Buddy gets a Forever home!

Buddy came to us from Wendy in Cedaredge. Carrie and Deanne came to the Edwards Foundation looking for a pygmy goat to keep their 5 year old female goat company. Her companion goat had died last week and since goats are herd animals they need a friend to stay happy. Buddy will have lots of friends at his new home. He will be joining a pair of alpacas and two horses. He is glad to be getting a forever home before the weather gets too cold.

Turbo pig comes for a visit

This is Juliana. She is an executive intern from Eaglecrest High School. That means that she works in a real job for 1/2 a school year and earns credits and work experience towards her graduation. She chose the Edwards Foundation and Terolyn Farms as the place to get her experience. Here Juliana is making friends with Turbo. He is a potbelly pig that is visiting until his in laws can arrange transportation for him to California. Some Pig!!! as Charlotte would say.

Healing touch

This is Karen. She has been working with our old Dalmatian, Reggie. Reggie has suffered a spinal injury that has caused a disconnect between his brain and his legs. He can walk but does not have a sense of where his back legs are. Karen has been doing some healing therapy with Reggie. He is not in pain. Volunteers have donated carpet remnants so he has better footing on the wood floors.

Winners of the Pet Smart Dog and Cat baskets

All the animals came to congratulate Heidi on her big win! Then Heidi stayed to feed Millie the llama and receive a big kiss from her!

Larry and Heidi came to our fund raiser event at Tagawa's Garden Center. They were the holders of the tickets drawn.

Larry collected his gifts and was just in time to also observe a small herd of deer waiting in the trees to nibble on pumpkins donated to us by Tagawa's garden center. Can you see the deer in the trees?

Tina Turkey gets her wish

You may remember that when the Terri O'Hara animal wize communicators were here they got a request from Tina Turkey for water to play in and a boy (turkey).

Her request was granted. Meet Tom Turkey.

He is red, white and blue--all American and glad to be here!!!!

We just received 6 darling Nigerian pygmy goats from the Weir Ranch in Cedaredge.

Two little goats have found forever homes already.

All the animals really love the used Halloween pumpkins. Come visit and bring your camera.
