Carol's 1/12/10 blog
Well we're finally all well around PrideRock, except for my Tuni the old wolf girl. She is down and not eating again, so Gary gave her liquids, plasma and electrolytes sub que, which usually brings her around. He is also trying to lure her with fresh venison donated yesterday. Our friend and neighbor Ron Harris, came over to show Gary how to dress the poor girl. She was wild, had broken her front leg in 2 places and had to put out of her misery. The cats love venison and we haven't gotten much this year, so that was a welcome sight. We are all enjoying a break from the freezing, arctic weather and Nia has even broken the ice to get in her pool. It's amazing to watch the tigers play in the water in the winter time. Samantha is helping Gary feed tonight and went over early to clean all the pans from last night. Last night Gary was out until 3:30 a.m. getting everyone fed. I had to leave him after taking care of the wolves and dogs, since I had to get up and head to work early. He was washing the spices off of chicken since the cats don't do spices, and he didn't have any help so it was a long process. Everyone is enjoying all the meat we are getting from the "free meat program", including the wolves and dogs. It is quite a process though, trying to separate all the good from the bad. Sometimes there is lots of fatty meat that has to be thrown away. We recently had a dumpster brought out and we are filling it up to capacity every week. Thankfully, Gary has a couple of dependable, good guys that come out every week and help him go through usually 16 to 18 barrels of either meat trimmings or meat that has been pulled from the shelf due to an expired Sell by Date.

| New Year for PrideRock |
| 2010.01.05 23:12:03 | |

The New Year is here and all is well at PrideRock. Gary and I were sick through Christmas and New Years, but all the animals have been taken care of and are healthy and happy. We have lost volunteers and gained new ones and our new meat program is in full swing which should help PrideRock finances considerably. Gary and a couple of helpers are working hard to make sure all the meat is good that is fed. We have gotten some great stuff including salmon, steaks, roast, brisket, hamburger and even a little poultry. With the variety, the cats seem to really like it and get something different each night. We have numerous projects in store for this year, some of which were on tab for last year, but we either ran out of money, or just didn’t have the time or people to do the job. Gary still doesn’t have a job, but we have high hopes for everything coming together in 2010! My resolution is make sure and blog more frequently so everyone will have a better idea about what is happening at PrideRock this year. Happy New Year and keep on chuffin ~~ Tags: volunteers | chuffing | winter | feeding | rescue | volunteer | inspire | priderock | intern contact Hits: 638 | Read more... |
| Swine flu? or just a little 'Ms. Piggy' cold? |

Merry Christmas has come an gone, Carol has been in bed with the flu or something as she bemoans: "The closest I can get to my tigers lately is looking at them out of my bedroom window. :-( I'm looking at my girl Shealee laying on her back on top of her house swishing her tail back and forth. Nice.. I'm sure she's wondering where the heck her mom is!! I think I must have the swine flu at this point.." But as for me, I'm glad that she is getting better by the day and should be as good as new with the beginning of the New Year, So everyone have a Happy and Prosperous New Year!!!

| Colin Lavallle - Eagle Scout |

Just returned from Plano where we attended Colin Lavalle's Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremony. We were especially proud because he did his project at PrideRock which included replacing a tiger table and repairing a slope on a tiger house. We'll always be grateful to him and the other members of Troop 380 for making a difference in the lives of the cats at PrideRock. Thank you Colin for a great job!

| So long to Greg Cohron |

From PRWR animals and 'staff' we sadly say so long to Greg who has been as dependable a volunteer at PR as we could have asked. Greg's contribution to PR over the past year has been our regular Monday Night food prep and delivery help. Dependable as the rain, well maybe a little more dependable than that, say as the sunrise, and always a good conversation as well. Tags: Hits: 1343 | Read more... |
| Summer Interns |
| 2009.06.15 22:32:43 | |
|
Summer interns Christine Harden and Meredith Aiken have hit the ground running. I always love the summer months, hot and humid and conducive to a slower pace and relaxed atmosphere, except when new interns arrive. We have to be very professional and work hard so they will know what it is like be a professional animal caretaker. :-) Tags: Hits: 921 | Read more... |
