I wonder if it's things like this that gave the hoomans the idea of putting weather vanes on roof tops?

Poppy is the gray guy ....  he thought he was a cat when he came to live at Rikki's.  It took him months to be allowed to hang with geese gang .....  and still, after years, no girl goose has been willing to let him walk her around .......    Until Now?

Wanda being adorable

A dirty job but someone has to do it.  Washing our animals water and food bowls is a daily chore.  We are always in the need of sponges, brushes and dish soap.  Great items to bring out for Saturday Donation Drop Off !!!

This is just the first round of dishes.  There will be several more today.  And every day.  We use a giant old bathtub as our kitchen sink !!!

A fraction of what we go thru in a day

We go through a lot of bleach and multi-purpose cleaner and fabuloso  keeping our every thing sanitized for the animal's protection  ...  donations of cleaning supplies are always needed and very much appreciated.   On your out?  Grab a few bottles and a handful of paper towels !!!   That's what the hoomans like for treats !!!

Every one is different

Jesse is shedding out from the shoulders down .....  remember I showed you how Mr Donkey is shedding from the butt up !!!   You never know who's gonna have what pattern.  But for the next month now there's gonna be fur and feathers all over the place !!!!!     It comes out a little here and a little there !!!!   That's how nature has them get ready for summer. 

You wouldn't want to go from long johns and three pair of fuzzy sox and two sweat shirts and a snow suit and hat and gloves to shorts and a t over night, would you?   And neither do they.  They need to loose all that insulation gradually as it warms up.   That's also why we don't brush them out and get the loose but tangled or stuck stuff out now ......  we will when it's closer to summer if any is left.  But for not that's God's way of taking care of them.  And he's been doing this a lot longer than we have!!

Well ...  looks like it's bed time !!!

Thank YOU for making it all possible !
