Big Hearts Small World --Sam I Am

Big Hearts describe Lisa, Bailey, and Dillon. That is the family that adopted the weak foal Tyson from the Edwards foundation. Then he got better and had to have more surgery. Now he is A OK thanks to this family and especially his special owner Bailey. This family also fosters dogs and cats for the Denver Dumb Friends. Their latest batch was returned this weekends for an adoption telethon. Well, since Ryann and I were reading Green eggs and Ham, watching the telethon, and saw this pup called Sam we know it was karma. When we found out that Lisa, Bailey and Dillon were the foster family we knew it was meant to be. That is a rainbow sunbeam on Sam's back paw. He is blessed!

Sam I Am is smart, playful, friendly, good company, house broken, and full of reciprocated love.

At night he sleeps with his twin reflection or on the big bed. His choice. Only sad news is that as of this morning his brother and sister were still available for adoption. Ant takers???

Also, as this is published Lisa's brother's family is being transported out of Egypt

. Safe trip to them!

Dog room make over

Thanks to carpet donations from carpet store and the hard work of Kim and Taylor the dog room got a wonderful make over. It took hours to scrub and clean. They said goodbye to all the mouse treasures and imported a new live trap mouse catcher from the barn. We all hope the mice will move into this mouse habitat for transport to the barn area. Meanwhile Toby, Reggie and Aspen are in seventh heaven in their new and very clean "village homes"! They love their new carpeting and are glad it was installed to keep them cozy for our next round of frigid temperatures. Thank you Kim, Taylor and Carpet Mill.

Sandy and Dusty find a Forever home

Sandy and Dusty are welcomed to their new home by Flag. Flag lost her best sheep friend and was very sad. Kevin and Reggie were looking for two gentle female pygmy Nubians for companions to Flag. They are getting along famously. "We want to thank you ...for the two lovingly marvelous goats! Our goat Flag has been very sad since our sheep of fourteen years passed away last week. Today our little Flag has been leaping, frolicking, and gently knocking horn nubs with the two new kids. She has been a perfect and welcoming host. We are happy too! We love goats. Sandy and Dusty are exceptionally nice!" -- Kevin, Henry and Reggie. Sandy and Dusty are so nice because they were rescued as babies from a slaughter truck by a lady named Joan, who, I understand, has been invited for a visit to play with them in their new home.

6 degrees of separation----Burr!

January and the temperature has taken a dive!!! Today the high is 6 degrees and everything is more difficult. The outdoor waterer froze and we had to carry hot water for a couple days. Then Brenda came by with two electric water buckets and a heated water element. What a help and what a warm heart. All the animals are doing well. We put all the goats in the aisleway at night. The burros and the llamas have nice warm coats and spend the night in the shelter of the barn porch.

Our biggest worry in this cold is the electrical fuse box. We have a heat lamp in the stall for the Zebus. We have a heater for the water bowl in the hen house. Each stall has a heated electric waterer. The outside water tank is also heated as is the aisleway water bucket. We added a heat lamp to Honey's stall. She had a severe colic over the Christmas break AND SURVIVED!!!! due to the expert care of two of the best vets in the state and possibly the world---Dr. Lee Mueller and Dr. Dale Rice. Anyway, to keep her healthy, we added a heated water bucket and the heat lamp to her stall. The fuses held and the electric company is grinning. When the weather warms we will be asking for help with fund raising. visit out web at www.edwardsanimals.com if you have any ideas for us there is a contact link. Stay warm and well!!!!!!!

Thank goodness the Holidays are over

Tom and Mrs Turkey are sooooo happy all the holiday feasts are past----and they are not!!!!!!!

Zebu gets a trim

This is Al Agnew, the awesome, certified, farrier giving a manicure to Chuck, the Zebu. Chuck spends the summer at Terolyn Farm where his hooves grow long from walking in the soft soil. When he and Molly come back to spend the winter months here, standing under a heat lamp we give them a spa treatment.

Al used a saws all as we would use a manicure file. We looked a long time to find soneone with the expertise and gentleness to be able to work with Chuck.

Chuck was very cooperative but opted out of the french nail polish!!!

We thank Al Agnew for this gentle beauty treatment.
