From Jim: Another year is in the books! Remarkable! The sanctuary rolls along at it's own steady pace, with rhythms and cycles that lull one into a sense of timelessness. Very often, we are not only unaware of the day of the week, we forget what month it is. Some events do impact us and remind us of the passing of time. We lost some really wonderful critters this past year-Zoe and Mac, Jonathan, Levi II, Callie, Lexi, and Tess. We met some new critters that now call Home at Last theirs-Laz and Cal, Dream, Toby, Tango, Tawney, Kitty, General, Harley, Jackson, Reba, Bucky, Bo, Sugar II, Ginger, Kim, Little Dog, Little Red, Annabelle, Teddy, Chad, Jimmy, Packy, Whitey, and Bow (AKA Gumba). Because we're here with your support and donations, these animals are alive. We added fostering homes for some of our herd. The thrift store finished it's first year in fine style. Our board elected new officers. Our wonderful supporters were there for us. Lyle put up the hay for the year. Dr. Gary Darling, our vet, and Aaron, our farrier, produced their usual miracles. Linda and Brian got engaged. Our son and his wife let us know we'd be grandparents again. These are good things. The new year will have a lot of the same sanctuary patterns. And, that's a good thing. We hope all of you and your critters will have a great new year! From time to time, this new year, we hope you will stop and appreciate that your contributions and efforts have given so many a chance at life. And, that's a very good thing! Thank you! We greet the new year with a real sense of happiness and gratitude. Your kindnesses humble us.
