Good Morning Good News !!!! March 7, 2014

It's Friday! You should here things around here. The roosters are crowing. The cats are meowing. The dogs are barking! The turkeys are gobbling. The cows are mooing. The donkeys are braying! The geese are honking! Throw in some morning wild bird song and WOW! It's an animal symphony around here every morning. It's the most beautiful sound on Earth! (of course we really know most of them are just hollering for their morning breakfast, but that's OK! we're happy to oblige!)







FRIDAY'S CHILD IS LOVING AND GIVING! 

We like that. You know why? That's YOU! Yup. All of our Rikki's Refuge supporters are loving and giving! You enable us to continue our work here and you help hundreds.....literally thousands really......of animals! THANK YOU for giving them, and us, HOPE!
