Sleeting, Snowing, Freezing Rain, Dark Sunless, Miserable Day
Nobody wants to be out in this. But FOUR amazingly wonderful, dedicated hoomans being worked thru last night, thru all the changing weather today, with icicles in their hair and hanging from their beards and mustaches (yeah, they all get as hairy as possible for the winter, just like the animals), and they’ll stay on and work all night tonight, and maybe if it’s a little less treacherous out tomorrow, and others come in to help, they’ll get a little rest.
It’s all ice balls, some small and some big, what a mess, but thankfully not weighing trees and roofs down.
Cold? No …. we have the thickest bestest hairy leather coats !! What are you thin skinned mostly hairless hoomans doing out in this?
Feline Fields
Scarce few are venturing out
Despite the cold, Smoky Joe is on time for his morning stretching

Well cook-a-doodle … just venturing out at 11 am !!! What happened with “up with the chickens?”

We’re having a blast in this wonderful weather !!!
The GOOSE PARADE is in full swing !!!
At Rikki’s FRIDAYS are always FIVE DOLLAR FRIDAY !
Small donations add up and help to support the animals we have rescued at Rikki’s Refuge. For the price of a large coffee at Starbucks, you can feed a few animals today ! $5 buys 20 meals ! We basically can feed our 1300 animals for an average of about .25 cents per meal!
YES !! I’ll be a part of FIVE DOLLAR FRIDAY !!
