Rain? Flies? Mud? We've Got It All

It rained- really rained last night and today. Now our flies are nice and clean. Today Bucky was a mule. He is so very cute when he acts like other critters. Thank you to Lisa A, Ruth C and Eileen G for your very generous donations. With great folks like you Home At Last can care for the many horses, donkeys and mules who live here. We were gone for a few days earlier in the month and found out how very much we love our home and ranch. We had a great time but really missed being home. How wonderful to feed and water every morning and evening and to be greeted by the animals who are really glad to see us. Of course, they are happy to see the food, but the nickers are still heart-warming. When Frankie decided to do his Oh Boy It's Feeding Time dance and Moon sidestepped his antics it started the day with a laugh. When Jet stands apart from the herd knowing full well she will get fed it makes your heart happy. When Tiger Lily follows the tractor along, then stops where she wants to eat, you know they trust you to take care of them. When little Cricket weaves in and out of the herd looking for a pile of her own it makes us feel good knowing there will be enough food for all of them. I turned 67 a week ago and I have never been happier or healthier. We don't have much money, no fancy clothes nor cars, but we have everything our hearts could want. Sparkle and Ruby have become quite demanding at feeding time. GRAIN and more GRAIN, please. Then the rest show up and there is squealing and slurping . Jonathan waits aways off so he can eat in peace. Keep those donations coming. We still owe the vet lots and vaccination time is coming. Shoppers, come on by the Thrift Shop. I know you'll find good things to buy. Next Sunday is Easter so the Sanctuary will be closed to visitors and volunteers.
