Farewell, Trudy and Betty

It's a sad day for us at Sanctuary House - our sweet chicken, Trudy, left us for the Rainbow Bridge. Trudy was not yet a year old (she came to us last winter as an "escapee" from a slaughter transport). I hope her short life here was a good one - she got to interact with other chickens, scratch for bugs, and even lay eggs. One of her best buddies, Betty - also a very heavy chicken, died last week. The
three little chickens who lived with them - Goldie, Penny, and Honey - are missing them.

Yes, it's true, chickens recognize each other and people too - they are much smarter than most people know. Trudy's last message? Don't eat chicken - a vegetarian/vegan world would be a better world!

Wish List Wednesday

Yes, here we are to Wednesday again, the best day for wishes, so Sister Mary asked me to write about our Wish List . Canned cat food is right at the top of things we really need this week, and then paper towels, and horse treats (horse treats are not really a NEED, but the horses think they are, and we like to keep them happy!). Thank you for thinking of us. Love, Gus PS Sister Mary did not give me a puzzle for this message . . . please let us know if you want to have puzzles in the blog - I think they are a fun break to my reading and writing and sleeping and eating and playing, but I wonder if anyone else likes them too?

Good Morning!

Yum, yum - time for breakfast! And the sun is coming up, too! All of us - even the chickens - hope you are having a wonderful day.

Baby chicks and diamonds in the tree

Our Board member Aimee Lauer brought four little chicks this morning - they were rescued from Craig's List. As far as we can tell, two Easter Eggers and two Legbars. This weekend is a strange mixture of weather - rain, wind, and sometimes moments of sun. The sunlight in the tree this morning made the wet leaves and branches look as though they were decorated with diamonds. We are hoping and praying that Hurricane Florence will miraculously weaken, although current maps show East Coast landfall and predictions are that the storm may be a category 4. Stay tuned . . .
