Dover's Saddlery's Gifts

2011 was a good year for Dover's Saddlery because they opened a Store in Parker. It was also a good year because Mona organized a giving Tree. It was also a good year because our volunteer Diane put requests for supplies for us on the tree. It was also a good thing for us because we got many needed supplies. Mona presents the gifts to Edwards volunteers Jill and Lynda. Thanks to everyone who thought of us.

Lovie needs a home and knee surgery

This is Lovie. She was born 7/18/2007. She has had her Rabies and Distemper / Parvo shots. Dr. Rice did her spay yesterday and she is making a fine recovery. In her evaluation for surgery it was discovered she has a "blown" knee on left hind leg. This is a very expensive surgery and we are asking for help in getting fund raising ideas for this. We are also asking help from her previous owner LaDean. Look at past blogs to see that we were able to place 8/9 of these dear little dogs. We hope to get some kind donations for this little girl's operation.

Big Bird --T REX

They say that the dinosaurs were the ancestors to our birds. T-Rex was a very big bird. Thanks to The Denver Museum of Nature and Science and Platt Park Art Reach, Diane, the Edwards Foundation's fowl director was able to take a break from her volunteering time to safely lead Carolann and Lynda on a tour and exhibit of this REALLY big prototype!

Sad News about Tom

**Lynda just can't write another sentence about Tom, who was lost to colic on Christmas Eve, so this was written by Roxanne**
Lynda,
I am devastated by the news about Tom; still not quite believing what happened.
Tom was truly one of the sweetest horses I've ever encountered and I guess God thinks so too and wanted him in heaven.
Trying to take some solace in the knowledge that at least sweet Tom had a few months to experience the love and kindness he deserved.
Attached are a few photos of Tom that I thought you might like to have.
Tom will always have a special place in my heart.

Christmas Day helpers

Kathy gets ready for a llama kiss on Christmas day.

What a gift for us. Santa Jeff and his helper Cathy gave up time on Christmas day to help us with chores. They could have been on the ski slopes but came here instead. Our volunteers give so generously of their time even on special days.
THANKS to ALL--we could not do what we do without our volunteers.

Snow does NOT stop volunteers!!!

Neither wind nor sleet nor deep snow drifts could keep these brave volunteers away. We sure need help when the weather is bad. Chandler, Callie, and Morgan froze noses and toes but had big smiles to match their big hearts in coming here in such a storm to help.
