Cruel Choices

This blog is posted in hopes of saving any little animal that is taken away from its mother too soon. This can be due to ignorance or selfishness, but many times the result is the same- death of an innocent baby animal. This is a kitten brought to us at 10pm Thursday night. Two little girls had found a Feral Cat's den, and in it, a number of kittens. Each girl took a kitten home to have something to love. One girl, knowing that her mother would be upset, hid the kitten without feeding or caring for it properly. By the time her mother found out, the kitten was in critical health and was brought to us. We were able to get it to drink special kitten formula, but could not get it to poop. By Saturday evening, its belly was distended and needed an emergency trip to Dr. Dale Rice of Three Peaks Veterinary. after examination, the doctor determined the kitten was little more than a week old and had an impacted bowel. He was able to give it a kitten enema, which resulted in four inches of impacted material eliminated. Due to the intense care needed for the next couple of days, the kitten was turned over to Terilyn Farms to be monitored 24/7.
We hope after reading this story, people will think twice before taking a baby animal away from its mother. If you find a baby animal, please leave it alone!!

Ryan Brings Generous Donations

This is a wonderful volunteer named Ryan; last time he was here, he requested a list of supplies that we needed. This week he showed up with strong and long cotton lead ropes, wooden and paper bags of shavings, bags of food for the animals- including layena and alfalfa pellets. Wow, what a wonderful surprise! After helping with the chores, he also helped to lead a tour for a family and their four beautiful children. Even after doing all this, he still had enough energy for a riding lesson afterwards.

CCross Farrier Team Trims Toby

 This team of Jaime and Anthony from C Cross Farriers came for a follow up trim for Toby to help alleviate his laminitis caused by founder from eating too much grain.

 Here, Jaime removes dead sole, excess heel and toe.

 On the rear foot, Jaime was able to open up and remove a blood clot from the injured lamini.

We thank this team for their expertise in helping Toby.

April Snow showers bring happy Llamas!

Here comes Nathan, Millie and Elizabeth on their tail. They followed us on the trail that Volunteer Danny, from Bennett, shoveled so that we could get to the barn through 3 foot drifts of snow!

Fun with visitors!

This wonderful family stopped by to love on Bandit and some of our other animals. They had a great time and we appreciate their generous donation!  

We just love it when new visitors come by to meet and spend time with our friends here at Edwards Animals. 

Love our Volunteers! Linda and Neil

Linda and Neil are long time volunteers here at Edwards Animals. 

Linda spending time with our friend Denali. We are babysitting Denali while his dad is away.

Linda had a serious fall from a ladder and injured her arm. We are so glad to hear that she is recovering well! It was so great to see both of them! 

Neil spending time on the tractor. He is an all around handy man! 

Fast Eddy has taken a liking to Neil. He says Neil gives him the best pedicures in town!

Happy Birthday Molly!

This month is Molly's 29th birthday! She's such a beautiful girl, that loves all the attention you want to give her! She has been here at Edwards Animals for almost 20 years. We are so grateful to the Denver Zoo for bringing her to us!

Bandit Boy

This is Bandit! He came to us from our friend Ruth, along with his friend Stormy who is a black and white pony. They are the best of friends. Bandit lives up to his name, as he'll try and steal any goodies you have in your hand! He is also quite the film star, starring in several Colorado Film Schools projects. 

Riding Dealer and Goldie

We got to have fun with the horses.



Dealer's looking magnificent all tacked up and ready to go.
Thank you Callie and Stephanie for this fun day!

Skylar's Project

Skylar came around to take pictures with the animals and deliver a wonderful trailer full of treats.

In support of her project donated Timothy Grass Hay, Alfalfa pellets, chicken feed, big bags of dog food and cat food.

 In support of her school project her family came around and not only donated her supplies but her time as well.  Skylar used her time and money to make bags full of treats for all the animals.

This is Chip's favorite toy, his colorful parrot.

Fast Eddy in the sun

Thanks to the help of Ryan, Cassie, Paul, and  Luke our beautiful Nubian goat got his nails trimmed. Luke and Paul came from Core Knowledge School in Parker and helped clean the goat beds and the chicken room. They did an amazing job. Cassie cleaned the watering stations and Goldie's stall. What a good job!  Dealer also got a little excited over carrots. It is spring and a new rule will be no treats into the field :)   Luckily no one got hurt but Bandit almost got under Dealer in an attempt to get to the treats.  Ryan helped in the chicken room and helped to hold Fast Eddie while his nails got trimmed.   Always lots of chores and we really appreciate our helpers!!!
