Karma Bobs Backyard Animal Refuge

11/05/2024

With heavy heart, today we share this news. Yesterday, Joe found our wonderful Great Pyrenees Macy deceased. It was a horrible, horrible shock. Her death was obviously sudden, and totally unexpected. She had no known health issues and received regular veterinary care. There is no clue as to what ended her precious life. Macy was an amazing dog. As an LGD (livestock guardian dog) she had a strong protective instinct and was totally amazing with every animal kin living at KBBY. In early days, she loved romping in the backyard with Karma Bob the yak. She really wanted his horns! Certainly her strong bark kept predators on notice and at bay. She enjoyed digging dens, any ball or ball-shaped items what-so-ever, her turtle toy, and belly-rubs. She was strongly bonded with Joe, and enjoyed cuddling. She is, and always will be, deeply missed by all of us. Macy just turned 7 years young 5 days ago on Halloween. Please, in honor of Macy: take time every day to love on your precious animal kin. Tell your human kin you love them, tell your friends how special they are to you. Not a single day is guaranteed to us. Fly high precious girl, run fast into the brightest light. May you be reborn in a blooming lotus flower in Dewachen. We love you. 🐾 ❤️ 🐾

Good morning,
Yesterday Mama Mia’s 6 kittens were neutered. I was surprised that they were all boys. KBBY seems to have more males here than females, is that because males are often not wanted as much?
A big thank you to two people who donated to the costs of the procedures, this is a big help.

Two more days to make any last-minute contributions to this fundraising effort for much-needed arthritis and pain medicines! We surpassed our original goal, (hurray!) and were quietly hoping to double that... and there's still time! Please consider a last-minute donation! A hearty thank you to all who have contributed here, to all who send us love, aspirations and prayers. We can't do what we do for the kin without YOU! Sending love... ❤️

Christmas is coming, and these beautiful hand painted barn slates would make a perfect gift!

All proceeds go directly to the care of all animals at KBBY.

Wow! Thanks to your caring donations, the fundraising goal has been surpassed with 10 more days to go! Now please, don't think us greedy... because the medicines our kin need to stay comfortable and thrive, are an ongoing monthly expense... so, hopefully (with that understanding) the fundraising goal will now increase to help KBBY cover future monthly medicines! Thank you all for your support, and please continue to share the fundraiser, and ask any animal-loving friends to consider a donation. 🙏 Sending our love and gratitude to you today!

Little Man has not been feeling well for the last three days, he’s lethargic, not eating much and he does not want to go in at night.
I’m not sure what is wrong with him but it started late Saturday after he got into the feed shed and had his way in there. Yesterday he did not engage the feed shed.
I have been giving him Probios as often as I can get it into him. He won’t let me sq**rt it into his mouth so I sq**rt some onto broccoli leaves and he will eat them for the most part. There is no way I can wrestle a 1,200 pound cow to give him meds.
Let me tell you there is nothing worse than a cow with diarrhea. Their poops are huge to begin with but this just takes it over the top.
Today he seems a little more engaging, this morning he had the feed shed door open again and pulled out two bags of feed on to the ground. Yes I lock the shed door but they have their ways. people say that cows are dumb and stupid, but I must disagree with that.
Never a dull moment, always something to deal with in an already full
day.
Hang in there LM, more prayers for you

Hello Friends! Welcome to October's "Five Dollar Friday Fundraiser"! This month we are highlighting our kin who need daily meds to manage their arthritis and joint pain. The purchase of these medicines are an ongoing, continuous need for KBBY, and your donation, no matter how small (or large!) will help us bring comfort to our kin in need, especially Prancer and Missy BupBup. As always thank you for your ongoing care and support. Sending our love to you! ❤️

Good morning,
We are hungry, more food please!

Someone dumped mama cat and she found KBBY. Now it’s mama and 6 kittens.

Can’t dump them can’t turn them away, they deserve better. I spent well over $150.00 feeding them so far, money which KBBY does not have. Spay is set up for mama, then the kittens. Can you say cha Ching ! Can you say no time do do this!

You will be taken care of, no idea how but I will make sure that you are fed and loved. KBBY needs donations, help and most importantly feminine energy, please step up.

Its morning Princess the sun is rising

09/02/2024

This is Princess, she lost her mom a while back in a weird accident. Before her mom died she brought Princess to me one day. I had this weird feeling that she was introducing me to her and asking me to take good care of her. I told mom that I love you all dearly and would always do my best to care for you all. It was very strange and kinda spooky in a way.
Shortly after this I found mama dead tangled in a tree on a steep slope. I cried and was devastated that I had not found her when she apparently slipped down the muddy slope and could not right herself and get up and out. I’m not sure what I could have done to help her as I could barely stand where she was and there was no way to get a tractor there to help.
I believe mama had a feeling that something was going to happen to her so she asked me to watch after Princess.
Princess now waits and watches for me and comes to me every time I go to the yaks and minis. I talk to her every day and ask her if she would want to live in the backyard, yes my dear it would be very different. You would have cows, alpacas goats sheep chickens ducks and me that’s a lot deal with. Most humans would have a hard time dealing with it all including myself at times but if not me who else?
My dream was that she would come down and live with Rondrol Dechen but he passed suddenly.
It’s up to you princess.
I’m not sure how mama would feel about hot dog and hamburger rolls but she really enjoys them.
I know this is kinda wowo but i truly feel mama knew that Princess would need a mom and she picked me.

Sometimes you just need to make the best of the situation and not give up. The critter kin here at KBBY have a way of doing that ALL OF THE TIME…..
