RIP Sapphire

By

It is with a very heavy heart that we must report the devastating news that Sapphire passed away this past week. We are all heartbroken. A few years ago, Sapphire was bitten by a black widow spider, and even though we had the vet out immediately, she developed cellulitis (a bacterial infection under the skin), and her leg swelled up overnight so badly that last January we were concerned we would have to put her down. The vet, however, gave her some steroids and antibiotics, and soon she … [Read more...]

Lexie

By

It is with great sadness to report that we had to say goodbye to our Lexie this morning. Lexie's knee had been getting progressively worse over the past few months and it was becoming more and more difficult to manage her pain. We've been discussing Lexie's prognosis with our vet for several months and we eventually came to the conclusion that we were soon not going to be able to effectively manage her pain.  We increased her pain medication a few weeks ago to alleviate her suffering. The … [Read more...]

D’Artagnan

By

We unfortunately must share the sad news that we had to make the difficult decision to put D'Artagnan down this morning.  He was down in his stall this morning and we were unable to get him up. We called out the vet, who gave him steroids, fluids and electrolytes, but soon D'Artagnan became painful and we had no choice but to end his suffering. We thank all of those people who helped D'Artagnan over this last week, and while we had hoped he had turned a corner, we at least gave him a week … [Read more...]

RIP Samantha the Chicken

By

It is with sadness I must state that Samantha (one of our chickens) passed away last night. She was a little "off" on Sunday, and yesterday she was very lethargic, so we separated her, expecting to take her to the vet today. Unfortunately, she passed away sometime last night. We will bury her alongside of her sister, Tabitha. Samantha was a very good chicken, laying up through this spring, and would come when you called her. She also liked to peck at Megan's legs, and would "help" us when we … [Read more...]

Wild Beauty Documentary

By

This past week, Elizabeth had the honor of being a special guest at the documentary Wild Beauty, a movie about the plight of the wild horses and how the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) continues to round them up for no reason except for the fact that large corporate cattle and sheep ranchers and oil … [Read More...]

Catching Up with Lou Dillon

By

If you've been supporting Hanaeleh for a while, you probably remember Lou Dillon's rescue. It's been four years since that fateful day and everyday is an absolute pleasure to have him here. If you're new to us, Lou Dillon was found running in the street in Watts, CA (on Lou Dillon Ave). He was … [Read More...]
