Vincent’s Very own 25 Days of Christmas

Let there be light!!! 

On the fourth day of Christmas, Rikki’s received some light
to help us see all the creatures at night

and nummy canned food for all the doggies,
snuggy pads to keep us comfee,
and me eating FANCY FEAST ....


YOU can light up our lives!!!

These Solar-Powered Motion-Activated 80 LED Security Floodlight can be installed ANYWHERE!!!!  It gets really dark at the refuge in the winter, and when we have to check on our creatures during the night, it would be great to actually be able to see them!  We could use several of these lights for around the main house and the cat runs in the barns and everywhere.

You can have Amazon send it right on it’s way to

Light Up My Life at
Rikki’s Refuge

OK now we’re caught up and we’ll be right on schedule for the morning!!!
Some of that icky white stuff is coming down tonight.  Boo Boo Boo - make it melt and go away !!!!


Stay warm and happy as YOU are my HERO and YOU make my heart warm and happy!

Vincent’s Very own 25 Days of Christmas

On the third day of Christmas, doggy lovers want to feed
nummy canned food to all the doggies,
and see the old folks and the hospital patients warm and very comfee,
and me eating FANCY FEAST ....

the doggies will get a case of Pedigree, ground, Butchers select canned – with the pop top lid. Or any flavor that is ground and has a pop top lid. We get more mouthfuls out of ground and when it is 20 degrees outside the last thing anyone wants to do is fiddle with a can opener! Amazon gives you the option of sending us a case every month if you want to . . hint, hint. We really need canned for the dogs during the winter to help keep them warm and healthy.

You can have Amazon send it right on it’s way to
