(you can help support those animals at www.RikkisRefuge.org/Donate )
Good Morning Sunshine !!!!
It’s Save the Eagles Day. We occasionally see an eagle flying overhead, or sitting in a tree down by the creek. But no eagles today.
Mr. Peacock says he’ll fill in as the honorary bird of the day !!
And we have guineas
and ducks !!!!
Meet Archie
How does his picture make YOU feel? When I saw him a few a days ago my heart totally went out to him. He’s terrified. He was a stray. He was trapped. He’s terrified. He’s sick. He’s injured. He has not home. It’s believed he’s 9 years old. Nobody wants him.
I took one look at his eyes and said, “Oh Archie, come to Rikki’s and let us make you happy and teach you to love again.”
Archie will be joining us on Friday. I can’t wait to meet him.
It’s animals like Archie that made me start Rikki’s Refuge. All the animals that so desperately need somebody to love them. But that nobody wants. They think they’re icky to look at, they’re hurt, they’re dirty, they’re scared. The ones that are passed by in shelters, passed by on the streets. The ones left to die cuz nobody cares.
They’re the ones I want to always be there for. They’re the ones I created Rikki’s Refuge for. It doesn’t matter the species. It’s their souls that matter, their eyes. How can you look into those eyes and turn away?
Archie will need quite a bit of medical care when he gets here. Thank God our vets love these poor souls as much as we do and go way above and beyond to heal them.
YOU can HELP ARCHIE out too.
I have been so thankful to YOU every day for the last 8,187 days that YOU have made my dream of Rikki’s Refuge a reality thru YOUR kindness, YOUR help, YOUR donations, YOUR support. We may not know each other, but YOU are so very important and special to me. Thank YOU.
Uh Oh
See the light that’s out? Have you ever been in our thrift shop? It’s called Re-Tail. It’s huge, 8,800 square feet of bargains just for you !! And look up up up at those ceilings …… it’s over 22 feet to that burned out light bulb !!!! Luckily I have a very daring brother who can climb like a monkey !!! He’ll load up the scaffolding and the extension ladders and drive the truck into town and build the scaffolding under the light, and then the ladder on top of that and up, up, up he’ll go, and put in a new bulb to make the store light and bright!!!
Stop in and visit sometime !!! 9 am – 5 pm Wednesday – Sunday
Re-Tail is at 3503 Lafayette Blvd in Fredericksburg
