Ok! Now that’s funny! I don’t know how I stumbled on Facebook’s AI for image creation… but I thought… what the heck! Create a donkey on my favorite cruise ship. Here you go! 🫏🛳️

❄️Winter is Coming!❄️ Time to prepare the b***os for the cold. 🥶

Tuesdays with Taz - 10-22-2024

Welcome to Tuesdays with Taz!

Our coats are getting puffy again and the days are getting shorter. We have not had ice in the water trough yet, but the water is really cold on our lips in the morning. Winter is just around the corner, or if you go into any store and see the holiday decorations, it is already here. Take advantage of the warmer days to get prepared for winter.

*Pull out the tank heaters and in our case the metal troughs. Make sure the heaters are in working order and your power supplies are ready to go.
*Ensure you have plenty of hay on hand. This is a given! We like to eat and we like to eat more when the temperatures are colder.
*Clean your pens and the areas around your pens of any debris and remove or repair any holes or obstacles that may become a hazard if covered in snow. (Yes, Snowball, we are going to need to fill in your hole…)
*If you think you will need blankets, buy them now. The Amazon truck comes quickly but not the minute the shivers start. It is great to have blankets on hand in the event of an emergency or unexpected situation.
*Check your equine first aid kit. Do you have what you need in the event of an emergency including your vet and farrier numbers?

If you have questions during your preparations, please feel free to reach out and plan to join us on November 19th for our next Taz Talks.

Have a great Tuesday! Hope to see you at Boo Bash on Main in Elizabeth on Saturday!! The weather is looking good!

This is Hissy Miss… my Barn Cat that got really sick. I took her to the ER Vet on July 5 where she actually coded and they miraculously brought her back to life.

One week from today Hissy Miss will have her last dose of her Life-saving medicine. She will then have 84 days of observation to make sure she doesn’t relapse back to FIP. She’s spent 105 days so far in the care of Wild Blue Cats.

If we reach the $2500 goal before next Friday… anyone who donated from today forward will be put in a drawing for a coffee gift card from your choice of Starbucks, Dutch Bros or Dunkin!

My bucket runneth over…

Hissy missed coded on July 5… heart stopped…CPR performed… and a life-saving dose of a “black market” drug given. She has had 100 days of treatment under the care of Wild Blue Cats and will have her last dose October 25!!

Under the care of Tiffany at Wild Blue… Hissy has learned that being an indoor cat versus a feral barn cat has some perks. She’s learned human touch can be comforting… toys are pretty cool and still allow her prey instincts to be used… playing with other cats is fun… and when tired out… a comfy bed beats a bare of hay.

Tomorrow is my birthday and this year I am asking for your consideration in supporting Wild Blue Cats so they can continue to save little kitty lives. Below is a link to my birthday fundraiser on Facebook as well as a Scentsy fundraiser so you can get some great holiday gifts for friends and family or just new decor for your home.

Thank you for your consideration and support of Wild Blue Cats!

A rare spotting of the elusive Hissy Miss this morning.

Living the ranch life isn’t always spectacular. This morning a group of squawking crows woke us up… we discovered a deceased pronghorn… most likely taken by the coyotes that roam the area. Crazy thing though… you would have thought we, or the dogs, would have heard a pack of hunting yotes this close to the house.

When you forget to leave the gate open on the evening of milk delivery… and they leave your goodies anyway 💙 Thank you, Royal Crest Dairy, for knowing how much we’d miss our creamer 🤗

The Jackass Ranch Mouse Mitigation Team has relocated to their last training area before being released to full active duty and more private sleeping quarters. They have been stellar trainees and I’m positive they will make some great progress on eradicating the mice and hopefully the pesky pigeons. Wild Blue Cats has a wonderful feral/working cat community if your farm/ranch needs some pest controllers as well.

Today we celebrate World Donkey Day! This day was created to honor the stoic and hard-working animals that helped shape civilizations for centuries. ***oBuddies B***o Base Camp Inc.

Introducing the Jackass Ranch Mouse Mitigation Team. This Daddy/Daughter Duo arrived today and will be getting settled in for a few weeks learning the sights, sounds and smells of the ranch. Captured at a Bird Sanctuary in New Mexico, this team is ready to not only make the mice vanish, they are ready for a sure tangle with the visiting pigeons that like to hang out with the donkeys. Thank you, Wild Blue Cats, for the temporary housing for our new deputies.
