Click the goat to watch the show !!
Here’s
more details - click a kitty !
This is Chance, he’s the kitty who ended up in the
emergency room
He thanks you VERY MUCH for saving his life .... not once .... but twice !!!! He’s quite an elderly gentleman, and warming up quickly. He must not have started life as a feral kitty. He was once loved and cared for. Maybe someday he’ll tell me his story. For now, all he’ll say is he was abandoned and forgotten about and spent many years living with a feral colony. He’s got old battle scars, not many teeth, ground down fangs. He’s so thankful for canned nums now .... so much so .... he needs small meals every hour or he gobbles up all he can and gets sick. Poor baby, he’s been starved for so long .... but never again Chance .... never again. Our wonderful sponsors will make sure YOU have HAPPY EVER AFTER !
DOUBLE A DONATION for Chance so he can have DOUBLE
THE MEALS !!!
Martha writes in: I am a long-time friend of Rikki's, after you so

Duck Pool !!!!
WOW is that HUGE !!! Lots of room to swim around and have a blast !!!! Thank YOU for caring so much about these
ducks !!!! They are SO happy now.
Here we were picking the pool up at Tractor Supply !
Here’s the happy ducks, once so frightened of humans
they’d run and bunch together or beat their heads against the fencing trying to
get away.

treats !!!! How quickly they’ve
learned to trust again in their new magic kingdom at Rikki’s Refuge !!!

WINTER IS COMING
And that means animals will be looking for places to
get warm. HELP SAVE LIVES. Before
starting your engine, be sure to check ON, IN and UNDER your vehicle for
animals. On top of the tires in the
wheel wells is a favorite hiding place, under the hood stays nice and warm long
after the car’s been turned off, so give the hood a WHACK to scare them out
before starting up. The fan can cause
horrible injuries, even cut someone in half.
I like to WHACK the hood, then walk around the vehicle and whack each
door and the back end, then get on my knees and look underneath. If I’m about to drive something I can’t see
the top of the tires, I bend down to check each one too. And watch out, if you leave your windows
open for a stop ... somebody might have crawled in ... always best to make sure windows are up,
doors are closed and trunks are only open while you’re right there. A little extra caution can save lives.
ONLY AT RIKKI’S !!!!!
LET’S WRAP IT UP !!!!
Here’s another great way YOU can earn money for
Rkki’s !! It costs you NOTHING ... you MEET new friends .... and you have a lot of FUN !!!!
Join us GIFT WRAPPING !! We’ll be at THREE Barnes and Noble Bookstores .... so pick the
one closest to YOU. Fredericksburg,
Charlottesville and Falls Church. You
wrap -- INSIDE where it’s warm .... and there’s NO POOP .... well ... there’s not supposed to be
!!!!

CHICKEN LITTLE LAYS HER FIRST EGG
You
read about chicken little in our last edition of Good Morning Good News
She laid her first egg .... she selected the trash can as the place to do it ... Skully watches in wonder ....
Chickens don’t need a mate to lay eggs ... it’s
something that occurs from time to time without a boyfriend .... I guess our Chicken Little is a big grown
up girl now !!!
What do we do with the eggs at Rikki’s Refuge? Usually the chickens will eat their own eggs
if they aren’t fertilized ... it’s good protein and good calcium. The ones they don’t eat, are scarfed up by
the dogs and if any are left over at night, the skunks come round for a snack
!!
The mothering instinct has been breed out of domestic chickens ... so they just drop the eggs any old place .... and keep on strutting along !!!
