Still Going to CAS

I've been going out to CAS on some Sundays, not all Sundays though. Here are some recent pictures.



And then I like this video of the "piglet" Amelia...remember her?

CAS Has More Land For the Animals

CAS got some more land very close to their current farm. But there are a three barns on the property that need renovations. Please watch this video:


I volunteered at CAS on Sunday.

This is the goat, Atlas, that I mentioned Sunday. CAS made a video featuring him.

CAS in November With My Grandparents



Today I showed my grandparents CAS. They loved it. This pictures shows me with them and Amelia. When they left, I worked on helping with the horses. I cleaned a horse pasture, brought two horses into the barn and fed them. We had some problems getting the horse manure out of the back of the truck because the tailgate couldn't come down so we just shoveled it out and threw it over the side on the manure pile.


Here I am with my granddaddy, my sister and Buddy, the horse.


A sad thing happened recently, Atlas died. This is Atlas last February with a coat on. He was so sweet and would always stay in the barn, usually with Rambo, because his legs were stiff with arthritis.  Atlas will be missed!

Snow in October and Feeding the Horses


I worked at the Catskill Animal Sanctuary on Sunday. On Saturday our area had a lot of snow, in some places it was up to 2 feet, but at CAS it wasn't quite that much. There are still a lot of people without electricity in our area so I really wanted to make sure to get to CAS in case others couldn't.


On Sunday I mostly fed and cared for the horses. They either got hay or alfalfa. CAS recently got some horses from a woman who was mistreating them. Kathy Stevens told me that the horses were head-shy and said that meant they didn't like their heads touched and were probably hit. But now they are a lot more comfortable, at least they were around me.

The CAS YouTube channel has a video showing the horses and how they were when Kathy got them.
