Today I received an email from a guy wanting to know if I take in volunteers. I generally tell these people no, because my rescue is sort of a one man operation, but I answered him back that if he wanted to come clean out my pond filters and maybe help me build Dudley a new shed, to give me a call.

A lot of folks who call up to offer their volunteer services really want to do something glamorous. When I tell them they can clean pens and pick up poop, they usually don't re-reply. What exactly do they think they'll get to do if it's not cleaning pens?

Yvonne, I think most figure it'll be fun to play with the tortoises and turtles. Then when they discover the reality, well that kinda stops them in there tracks. Karen gets the same thing at the clinic with folks thinking they'll get to play with puppies and kittens. Cleaning the kennels, cleaning blood and other animal discharge in large animal, and possibly assisting with euthanasia, all makes many turn and run!

Morning all. This is what I've got to look forward to…View attachment 100833
Morning, or whenever you are. It would be nice for it to rain and rain when it is 100 degrees out. Our weather is slowly improving. Slowly improving... Hope you, Karen, and the torts stay safe :)

Do I smell romance in the air?

My day is going well, just going too fast. So much I want to do and so few days before cold weather comes back (and most likely sticks around :( )

I know what you mean, Jacqui. I've got so much I need to get done, like today, and time seems to be jetting on by! Everyone in my little valley is burning their debris piles right now. The air smells wonderful but now it's just one more thing to get going before the storm hits for me.

Pork ribs in a stone wok. and grilled whole fish then cook in some very hot sauce. Good with cold beer.
