Happy Saint Patrick's Day to
YOU !!!!!!!
I hope yours was as
wonderful as ours !!!!!
Something happened today
that we’ve been waiting for a long long time !!!!!
They came to turn our
electricity off this morning.
UH OH .... glad we don't got
an electric can opener .... and glad it's gotten warm.
But WHY???
It's not cus we didn't pay
the bill --- so don't worry about that.
We're finally upgrading the
9th Life Retirement, Assisted Living and Psychiatric Center's electricity. And
that means ALL the electricity on the Refuge !!! Currently we only have 60 amps
.... and if you know electricity ... you know that ain't much !!! That's not in
one circuit ... that's on the WHOLE PROPERTY !!!!!
We can’t run two heating
pads for sick patients in out hospital at once.
We can't even run those nice
water bowls that keep things from freezing .... too much power ....
If you try to warm something
up in the microwave so somebody sick will want to eat it .... and somebody
turns on the hair dryer to dry somebody who just got a bath ..... BAM all the
power goes out !!!!!
Life's been primitive at the
old farm here
!!!! It's been years and
years we've been hoping to be able to do this upgrade. And now it has happened
!!!
The power is off ... the
electrician is doing his thing ..... all paws crossed that it's all ok and we
can connect da new power SOON ! Kiki
stands guard to make sure they don’t leave till all is well.
Uh oh ..... parts is needed
Time to ring the lunch bell
.....
Thank you MIKE for driving
all the way to Pennsylvania and back for a load of donated nums !!!!
Platter-pus ? ... 23rd species ?
We're looking for a few good
folks .... folks who have trouble defining the line between hooman animal and
non-hooman animal ...... those who care deeply about and identify with all
species .... those who are willing to work hard, those who are willing to get
dirty, those who are willing to be there for the animals of Rikki's Refuge.
If you're very seriously
dedicated to caring about the animals in the most serious way, if you're truly
dedicated, if you are driven to make the world a better place ..... we need
several new team members at Rikki's Refuge Sanctuary ..... full time paid
positions, rewarded with a lot of love from the 1300 animals of 22 species
you'll be caring for.
Sorry I’m late (NOT), I
slept in ...... again ....
Why the laundry is never
finished
Today was a WONDERFUL WARM
SPRING DAY !!!!! A purrfect day for
sunbathing !!!
Thank you RON for the lovely
new sign !!!!
