Happy
Earth Day --- I love my earth !!!!
It’s the best planet I’ve
ever lived on. I like to try and keep
my earth happy and healthy. How about
you? Are you nice to our earth? We have a special fruit tree program going
on. We’re planting an orchard as a
border between the Education Center and a neighboring house ... it’s nice to
give both of us some privacy ... they
have a great huge fancy house and probably don’t want the piggies right up
against their fence .... so we’ve put
in a bit of a buffer and we’re planting fruit trees there. If you’d like to donate one in honor of your
favorite planet today, for a donation of $50, we’ll be able to get and plant a
fruit tree in the orchard !!! Thank
you for helping to keep our planet nice and green and for letting there be
yummy fruit for all the animals !!! www.RikkisRefuge.org/Donate

Well ... she who bes the Great Rule Maker ....
didn't follow the rules this morning ...
and she got a good reminder why there is rules ....
(ps. this is not an actual photo of the bear,
just a representative of what he looked like, no time to grab camera!)
it was still dark when she
went out .... or tried to go out .... to take out the trash ... she'd just
cleaned the poopy boxes and was taking it out to the truck .... the rule says
... "Before opening the door in the dark, turn on the light and look out
the long window next to the door .... look specially down near the bottom to
see if skunks might be thinking about coming in for cat food .... it's real
easy for them to come running in by her feet .... so far .... only opossums
have, but still, it's a job to get them out and it just scares and worries and
upsets everybody ... opossum ... cats .... hoomans .... but oh no .... she who
makes the rules thinks she's above following the rules .... and so she just
opens that door and starts out ..... and there was a baby bear looking in the
window .... she did a back up real quick and shut the door !!!! No fair, I
thought it'd be fund for the bear to come in and play with us ... he was just a
little bitty baby bear .... His mama was in the driveway at the bottom of the
steps and made a gerrrruuuppppmmmmhhhh sound and baby turned to look ... then
she said geeerrrrrrooooooowwwlllllll hhhhheeerrrruuummmmpppphhhhhh reared up
and headed around the house and off down the back yard ... baby flew after her
.... mom decided to leave the trash by the door till it got a bit light
outside. Heeee Heeee I think that's funny !!!!!
Meet Bubba
and BeeBee
the oldest
residents at Rikki’s Refuge ....
if we
don’t count a couple of the hoomans !!!
Prayers
for BeeBee today please.
Bubba (the shaggier guy on
the left) and his wife BeeBee are very very elderly donkeys. They came to Rikki’s last year when their
owner passed away. BeeBee has had foot
and leg problems for many years now.
She needs special attention to her hooves to trim them just right so it
puts less pressure on her joints ...
kind of like having orthopedic shoes !! The farrier comes every month to visit her and make sure she’s
comfortable. She also gets meds for
arthritis every day.
The doc is coming to see her
today cuz one foot was really bothering her.
He couldn’t come at the end of last week, and lucky it’s gotten better
now, but still needs to be looked at.
So paws crossed, she’ll do good with the doc today.
Thank you for your prayers
for her and Bubba to have a long and healthy and pain free life. And thank you, if you’d like to help her
with her doc bill today ... www.RikkisRefuge.org/Donate
