Well, we did not win non-profit of the year, but we were up against some stiff competition and I am happy for Boogie Benefits who won the category, and happy for the Wildflower Cafe that won people's choice, and the Wild Game for business of the year!

How awesome is that, when we are going to be having our Kentucky Derby Party there May 2nd from 1-5 pm. Get your ticket soon on our website as we only have a few left!

Today I am grateful I got to have a great training session yesterday morning with Sugar and Natalia, and our volunteers. We tried to do some training with Donkey, but we got off on the wrong 'hoof' with him, and he decided he did not want any part of the session. Which is just fine, I just wanted to make sure to check him over, and make sure his hoof is healing up, which it seems to be. He can get up some speed and move when he wants to!

I am grateful I got to get in a little nap.

I am grateful I had plenty of time to get ready for the Night with our Stars formal event. And that I had a nice companion who drove us there and back. I am grateful for all of the nice conversations I had with many people in the community. I am grateful for getting to catch up and reconnect, as well as get to know other people even better. Overall it was a very nice evening, and although we didn't win, I am grateful for all of it.

​Today, what are you grateful for, my Animal Loving Angels? The sunrise? Fresh air? That you woke up? (Imagine for a moment, if you didn't). Remember, you are beautiful, and wise, and are doing great things. Get out there today and be a force for good. For yourself. For others. And for the animals. Thank you for all you do! Enjoy this beautiful day!
