Mandy
Waiting For Her Morning Kiss
Feeling
Like Little Bo Peep
...... that’s what Amy says about heading out to
the fields in the morning to give Joseph Conrad, an older sheep, his arthritis
meds.
Headed off
to the Groomer
Kiki is on her way to get
groomed this morning. That thick long hair gets lots of mats over the winter,
especially on her tail and thighs, that just won't brush out. She won't let mom
do the job, last time she tried, poor Kiki got such a horrible hair cut she hid
under the office for weeks and was ashamed to show her face!

Poor Mr.

One of yesterday's ventures
was catching a peacock with a hurt toe !!!!! It's an all hands on deck .... or
should I say all feet running .... thing !!!! He's got to get meds once a day
and his foot soaked several times a day ..... he doesn't think much of this
!!!!
PLEAZ I
need Fancy Feast Pate
For my friends in the
hospital. It’s easier to get them to
eat when they are sick and easier to mix special meds and vitamins in.
By the way, you don’t think
I’m fat, do you? Mom’s restricting my
diet again to get me ready for summer ....
it’s not like I’m gonna wear a swim suit or nothin ...... I promise to give all Fancy Feast Pate
to my pals and not to take a bite .......
Did I just say that?
Look who
moved in !!!!
This lovely young gentleman
just joined Piggy Paradise at Rikki’s Refuge on Friday..... and the ladies are
happy !!!!! Before he can meet his new

but we think he needs a new name.
What do you think suits this cute little guy?

Memorial
Day Mow The Most Contest !!!
Will YOU come out on
Memorial Day and Help Mow? We’ve got
100 acres to mow, oddles of animal enclosures, miles of fence line to weed
whack ...... BRING YOUR OWN MOWER, WEED
WHACKER, BUSH HOG ...... sorry,
electric ones won’t work out here !!
Gas or diesel !! Bring your
equipment and see who can mow the most !!!! Please RSVP if you can make it !!!!
It’s Black
Snake Season !!!
They’re harmless unless
you’re a mouse, but we don’t want anyone stepping on them and hurting them
either !!! No public events till every
thing is mowed so we can see to step over the black snakes and not on them
!!! We need VOLUNTEER help mowing. Not enough hours in the day for those of us
who work here to keep up with the fast fast growing grass and all the fast fast
running animals !!!! So we have to put
the animals first. After all, they
prefer the long grass !!!! But us
hoomans would like to see it nice and neatly trimmed!
Black Rat Snakes are good
animals, keeping away other animals you might not want in your home, mice,
rats, copperhead snakes and others.
Please don’t kill them. If you
must remove them from your yard, please bring them to Rikki’s Refuge for
relocation. We have lots of room for
them here and we appreciate our snakes.
May is mating season around
here and the black snakes all come out to look for one another. They can grow to 7 or 8 feet, and they don’t
mature until they are 7 to 9 years old.
They lay eggs, about 6 to 24 eggs each depending on the size of the mom,
and when the babies hatch, they are about 13 inches long. Females lay eggs once a year if the weather
is right, but if it’s cooler, only every two or three years. Black Rat Snakes can live up to 30 years !!
Please don’t kill snakes in
your yard. They’re a very important
part of our natural world. If you’re
worried, call a snake wildlife rehabber for information or help. And if you feel you must remove one from
your yard, please relocate to a safe place, like Rikki’s Refuge, and please
don’t harm them.
