Spring Cleaning Supplies Donated

We had a wonderful benefactor, Jason. He donated all these barn cleaning supplies. We are going to be so Spic and Span!
Other volunteers, Scott and Sam, put up brackets to help us organize.
As you can see we now have enough utensils for all our wonderful volunteers. If you have the urge to get out in the fresh air and help with our chores---come on. We have plenty of cleanup supplies. You can even have a turn with our Cadillac wheelbarrow.
Look at the shine on those shovels. Almost a shame to get them dirty. :)

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???
Small world -big hearts
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.
