SAFE facing rising hay costs in the second half of 2011

About a month ago, we posted a plea for donations. It’s something we seriously dislike having to do, but when donations are down and expenses are up, there isn’t much choice. Unfortunately, last month’s request for help yielded only $650 in new donations, and only 4…

There is a human thing called planning a party and being afraid no one will come. I know all about being afraid, but it’s almost never because of a party. Except for that party with the explosions in the sky, do you know that party? I don’t like that party. My foster…

Our Resident Comedian Ben

Some pictures are worth a thousand words, and some, like these, a whole bucket of laughs.  Ben is a big goofball with as many expressions as that of a great stand-up comedian.  We love hanging out with this big guy as his antics always put a smile on everyone’s face.…

Banjo Vet and Farrier Update

Banjo had his dental done Tuesday evening. It took a lot of work and he had one tooth that had to be removed. It was infected deep into the socket. He is on bute for a few days to help with the pain. Hopefully this will help him start eating a bit better. Banjo got…
