Our Lucky Ones Ranch destroyed by LNU Complex Fire

On August 19, 2020, the Lucky Ones Ranch was burned to the ground by the LNU Lightning Complex Fire.

Our piece of ‘heaven on earth’, the beloved forever home to many previously neglected / unwanted / ‘damaged’ animals was gone.  It’s a hard reality, but it was our reality.

Please watch news segment below and see more ways how you can help.

It's been a few weeks since we visited our favorit It's been a few weeks since we visited our favorite memory care seniors. We have been super busy with the medical needs of the sanctuary animals. And then, with volunteers on vacation, we have had no time to do any community service lately. 

But today,  we returned and the seniors came out of their rooms to see the dogs in the beautiful courtyard. Holly and Mikey mingled with everyone.  Henry faithfully visited with Mr. Leif who has claimed Henry as his.

Today was a busy day for us. We had one special p Today was a busy day for us.  We had one special pet therapy visitor at the ranch in the morning. Later in the afternoon, we visited a nonprofit residential program.

We had the honor of visiting about a 
dozen residents in Fairfield. Solano House is an adult residential program that offers two unique programs. Both programs serve individuals with severe mental illness.

Our therapy dogs: Henry, Stevie, Mikey,  Holly and Rosie were big hits today.  The residents and staff were all smiles when they saw so many dogs bounding into the courtyard. The dogs received lots of petting and the people got lots of love. 👥💓🐾

For privacy reasons,  we don't have any additional pictures from today's encounter. But trust us, when we say that our visit was appreciated and enjoyed by everyone!

Our volunteers have to be ready for anything that Our volunteers have to be ready for anything that comes up at the ranch! 

This morning,  Henry's little blood vessel (hemangioma) burst again.  Our volunteer, Nancy initially got a tissue and applied pressure for a few minutes.  Then she called me on the radio because the bleeding would not stop. 

I got some gauze with styptic powder and had Nanci press into Henry's muzzle for a few more minutes. It did the trick and he's all good again!

This has been an ongoing issue for Henry and consulted with the vet about it. And we're just going to manage it the way we have been doing instead of having the tumor surgically removed. 

Henry will be 14 years old in a few months and we're grateful for every day that he's with us.

Let's play a game on Saturday night! Objective: Let's play a game on Saturday night!

Objective:  Let one sheep back inside without letting the other nine sheep out. 

I failed. BIG TIME. 😂

Now, all ten sheep are out. And for good measure, I let the three llamas out,  as well.  It'll be fun watching the new Sunday morning volunteers round up everyone. 😜

What a super Saturday! Here's Abby with our amazi What a super Saturday!

Here's Abby with our amazing Saturday volunteers, Christine and Joan. They both have big dogs and have been comfortable with working with Abby. 

It's crazy to think that just a few months ago,  we were isolating Abby in the garage. She was positive for giardia and scared of everything. Once she was in better health,  we gradually let her out in an outdoor pen.  We told volunteers to ignore her and let her just observe everyone from a distance. 

Eventually,  we had volunteers throw treats to Abby.  Her barking and lunging became less and less. Instead, started to become friendly towards the volunteers.

I cautiously let one brave volunteer walk besides me and Abby, as we walked along the canal trail.  Then I had the volunteer hold Abby's leash. 

And now,  Abby is comfortable with our volunteers and looks forward to seeing them. 

We hope one day, Abby will join the dog pack. For now,  she's still separated from the others because she is aggressive with them. 

It's been a very, very long process.. working with Abby for 1 to 2 hours a day since her arrival in mid-March. The other rescue has not once asked us how she is doing. It's just as well.  We just wanted to do what was best for Abby and we're happy that we have made so much progress with her!

Yay Abby!

We had a team meeting with the Friday Broad Squad We had a team meeting with the Friday Broad Squad this morning. But Tommy,  our deaf dog barked the entire time and didn't want me to talk. (Note to self: Do not let Tommy know when we're holding the next meeting. 🤣)

We have over 30 volunteers and over 130 animals.  There's always much to discuss and much to do. We're always looking for new ways to do things...to be better and more efficient at meeting the needs of the Lucky Ones. 

Vince and I are grateful for the help of our dedicated volunteers, who make it possible for us to make a positive difference for the sanctuary animals. 

Volunteers rock! ❤️
