February 24, 2021 Wednesday at Rikki’s Refuge
all in a day’s work …. photos by those caring for the animals
(you can help support those animals at www.RikkisRefuge.org/Donate)
And we’re blessed with another beautiful day at Rikki’s Refuge !!!
The “pot holes” are goose ponds. They seek our softer areas or small holes, and scratch and dig to make nice swimming holes !!!! And you hear all these claims that hoomans are the only ones who alter their habitat !!!
Where is everybody this fine morning ?
I need to strut and preen and I NEED somebody watching ME !!!
THANK YOU !!!! It was a good day for donations.
Lyn drove around Fredericksburg picking up from our

Thank YOU Lyn !!!
And some canned cat food arrived !!!
Doug just worked out a new partnership for Rikki’s today!!!
Deep Roots Home and Garden Center at 28284 Constitution Hwy, Rhoadesville, VA 22542 will now be supplying our sweet feed and senior horse chow and cracked corn !!! With the rising prices we’ve been experiencing, it was time to do some shopping around and negotiating. Deep Roots will also be a Rikki’s Refuge DONATION LOCATION where you can pick up supplies and leave there for us.
They don’t have an on line store at this time. But YOU can call them at 540-854-5093 and place an order for Wrangler All Stock (sweet feed), cracked corn, and/or Sr. Horse food and just tell them it’s for Rikki’s Refuge. They’ll contact us to come and git it !!!
Their hours are Tuesday – Friday 9 am to 5 pm, Saturday 9 am to 3 pm, closed Sunday and Monday.
By yesterday afternoon they’d already made a nice collection for us from visiting customers !!!
Stop in, check out their home decor, clothing and kitchen sections too. And don’t miss their great nursery !!!! Tell them Rikki’s Refuge sent you !!!
Unloading the donated Cracked Corn …. the Turkeys recognize THEIR bags of feed and run in for a taste testing !!!!
Doug had to make a couple trips to Deep Roots to pick up supplies today. Here comes the litter for the week !!! We’ve been counting on Deep Roots to have our pallet in each week for quite a while now and to keep a consistent price. Believe me, it’s been a real stinking mess when we’d ordered from other places, only to show up and find out they have a BAG for us, not a PALLET of bags !!! Or that the price is 75 cents more a bag for some reason they can’t explain, and just changes randomly every week !!!
Here comes the litter
And look who knows what it is and runs to be the first to get to use the clean litter !!!
And back to Deep Roots for the Sweet Feed …..
Matriarch of the Angora sheep, Fiona, sits atop her throne awaiting hand delivery of her evening meal of sweet feed
Marbles is one cool cat ….. everyone else wants to hang out in the sun. Marbles finds a patch of snow in the shade !!!
Murphy bets you can’t find the cat in the kitchen !!!
Loving this sunny day
