Home at Last Sanctuary

Dr Darling was here last Tuesday. He had dogs, cats and horses to check. It is always hard to lose an animal and it took me a couple of days to get back in the swing of things. You'd think we'd get hardened to it, but we don't. In fact, we have promised each other if we ever take a euthanasia lightly we will quit what we are doing. We do value and treasure each and every animal here. We mourn their passing and celebrate their time with us.

The goats are always ready for a hello and some pets. The garden still looks a little barren, but there are sprouts all over the place. We rescued a lime tree and a lemon tree and they are growing lots of new leaves.A few of the tomatoes have blossoms as do the eggplant. The beans are growing and things that I've forgotten what I planted. I do that on purpose so there are always surprises. Granddaughter Beth spent a few days with us and she took some great pictures. Many of the photos in today's blog are hers. We had a great time playing Pictionary, giving her rag curls and driving the tractor. Saturday Jim, Beth and I went to another estate sale where we got to pick up all the unsold items. We will be taking them to the Thrift Store on Tues. Some nice items. Stop by and check them out.

This is the sofa and love seat we bought from the Thrift Store. Feisty cat likes them, too.

Another of Beth's photos. As the book says, "Good night, Moon."Thank you Hedy T for your generous donation. Home At Last has the best angels anywhere.
Next Sunday our volunteers will be going to a ranch where some of our horses are spending the Summer. We will be grooming horses there. Call me 530-514-1439 for time and directions. Volunteers will be meeting just once a month now.
Our new little pony AnnaBelle is doing well. Hopefully, there will be pictures tomorrow. AnnaBelle has a disorder where some of the food and water she eats and drinks comes out through her nose.Dr Darling will sedate her and check to see what the problem is.

Frankie has taken to her and is beside her all the time. Rosie has joined with Moon Dancer and Juan and they are usually not too far apart.
The warm weather means we are up around five, get our feeding, watering and gardening done early and hide out during the day if we can. We then go out about 7 PM to do the evening chores.

Stop by the Thrift Store 511 Walnut Chico Open Tues-Sun. Closed Mon.

Home At Last can always use donations.
