In my travels I have come across some of the most caring, warm-hearted pet lovers imaginable. I have come to the conclusion that we, the animal lovers, should come together and share our vision for a better world for our pets. My hope is to bring this pet community closer and allow pet owners to gain a better understanding of what's available for our pets. Please help us complete this great task.
It
took the combined efforts of our entire family, round the clock, plus
the professional services of Cottonwood Vet and Chick Miller of Bellavista
Farms to save Tiny Baby. She was a ferral kitten, found wandering
up a driveway. When we got her, she could no longer eat or drink and
her eyes were filmed over so we thought she was blind. She was nothing
but skin and bones and could barely hold her head up. Now she's a
happy, healthy 4-year-old and she can see just fine.
The photo on the right is Pumba, at 3 weeks old, one of four bottle-babies. She weighed just 4 oz., at the time of her rescue.
Another
rescue! This one I found under a tree in the chicken yard. I had never
seen anything like it. I couldn't find the nest it came from. Luckily,
I was out very early, but the poor thing was still cold. I warmed it up
and took it straight to Shasta
Wildlife, where they took it under their wing and identified it as
a green
heron. When I left, it had its mouth open, yelling for breakfast.
Here's Katie at last year's expo. She didn't slow down all day. This shot was taken by Michelle Mahood. She'll be at the show again in 2008, taking photos of pets and their favorite people.

Taffy, on the left, is a blind pony. She's 45 years old. Saint, in the middle, enforces our No Smoking policy. If you bring cigarettes into his area, he'll steal them out of your shirt pocket and eat them. Lottie, on the right, had a stroke which left her blind in one eye and paralyzed on one side of her face.
