THANK YOU !!!
For us $15,000 is such a huge donation. We care for 1,259 animals every day. We make it on barely a dollar a day per animal. Even still, when you get out that calculator and do the math it gets to be a pretty big number. Gosh, I got an ad from another rescue today, they take care of far fewer animals in a year than we do and they were campaigning for $200,000 before the end of the year. Geee - such a huge number. Best Friends Animal Sanctuary is the biggest and the bestest and the oldest in the country - they’re doing a double your donation for TWO MILLION. Oh my gosh, just think of what $2,000,000 would do here!!! So many many more lives would be saved, so much more community spaying / neutering, so much nicer animal housing -- WOW that could take us from rustic to almost modern!!!!
Uh Oh who’s getting nothing for Christmas?
Fingers crossed today for James and Autumn-Skye who’ll be filming the next episode of Rikki’s TV today!!!! Watch Comcast in Prince William County (Virginia) - it’ll be running the week before Christmas!!!! Get in the spirit -- love an animal!!!
On the Eighth Day of Christmas,
look what came to Rikki’s,
eight kicking kittens,
seven guinea fowl freeloading,
six lizards a lazing,
five guinea pigs a gnawing,
four elderly equines,
three burly bossy bovines,
two rabbits a mating,
and a chukar in a cherry tree.

Also from Nina: He will cover you with His feathers And under His wings you will find refuge. Psalm 91:4 This one makes you wonder who are the smart ones. How we treat the weakest among us.
Noah the Dove
These little bunnies, about 6 days old, were attacked by a dog and orphaned. Two out of the litter of five did not survive, and these three were not doing very well.
Noah is a non-releasable, one-legged homing pigeon/rock dove that is in the rehab centre. Noah kept going over to the bunny cage and looking in -- even sleeping in front of the door to the cage.Then, suddenly, there were only two bunnies in the cage. But when Noah moved a bit from the front of the cage to everyone's surprise...there was the tiny bunny....under Noah's wing...sound asleep! That little bunny rabbit had crawled through the wide spaces in the cage, preferring a featherbed, no doubt to snuggling up with its littermates!
Now, they are all together and the bunnies are doing GREAT. When the bunnies scoot underneath Noah's feathers, he carefully extends his wings out to surround them and then they snuggle. When one of them moves and they start sticking out here and there, he gently pushes them back under him with his beak! It is beautiful and amazing to see...
This is what God does with us when we need the warmth and love He offers. He gathers us under His loving wings to a warm cradle of protection. All we need do in return is give Him the thanks and praise for being with us.
Update on Noah the pigeon: We are Bob and Georganne Lenham of Wild Rose Rescue Ranch in Texas , home of Noah the Pigeon. After finding many posts online featuring Noah and the bunnies and reading about the many lives he has touched (his story has been forwarded around the world) we thought we'd post a follow-up and a few new photos. We knew there was something special about Noah the moment we saw him. Although the bunnies seem to be his favorite, Noah helps out with many rescue babies here at the Wild Rose Rescue Ranch...Noah's first litter of bunnies, almost raised and ready for release.
Now, Noah helps out with many rescue babies here at the ranch....
How wonderful it is to have a full-time soft-feathered nurturer here at the rescue ranch! He cuddles with all the babies as they snuggle under his warm feathers....and he "coos" as if singing them to sleep with a lullaby.
"And under His wings you will find refuge.” Psalm 91:4
