Just a quick post to let everyone know all the animals are ok. They are just really freaked out.
We still don’t have power (or water because we run on a well), and we did have one barn that flipped upside down, but luckily everyone is ok. High winds are still going, but will hopefully calm down tonight. I do worry about some of our big trees along the fence line coming down into enclosures (or the house) because the soil is also very soft right now due to all the rain. We will be watching that closely.
The National Weather Service tracked winds in Pullman at 102 mph this morning. That’s qualifies as Level 2 Hurricane strength wind! It’s nuts!
Thank you to everyone who has checked in with us and/or offered help. We really appreciate it!

Lucy’s weather vane (aka her snoot) - predicts unfavorable weather today. Looks like she’s called out “sick” and will stay in the warmth of her insulated dog yurt.

These two goobers always give their complete undivided attention when I’m in the food prep station. I’m just going to pretend they are popping up to spend quality time with me and not because they are hoping I drop some food.

As I wake up on the morning of my 50th birthday, I can’t help but think about all the life I’ve packed into each of those years. I try to focus on the good memories, the incredible opportunities I have had, and I’m grateful for the people and animals I have known who have shaped my life - even though it has been hard for me to accept that this milestone birthday was quickly approaching. I’m not going to lie, 50 is a stinger! Ouch! I try to remember that growing old is a privilege denied to many, and I’m thankful for the venture. I think of so many animals, particularly farmed animals, who are never allowed the chance to live their full natural lives and it drives me to work harder and provide our residents at Blackbird every opportunity to experience just that. I not only want to see them survive, but live their full lives with dignity, respect, good health, and happiness, while being surrounded by love. Being able to provide these basic rights isn’t easy to do alone. We depend on our community of volunteers and our followers and supporters, who believe in our mission, to accomplish this for every animal at the sanctuary. This year I am running a birthday/end of the year fundraiser to build back up our medical fund, so that we may continue to provide access to top notch medical care to all of our residents when they need it. 2025 proved to be a costly year for us in veterinary expenses, and I never want to be in a position to not be able to help one of our residents with a health emergency. Help us build our medical fund back up, so we may continue to do this important work each day. It truly takes a village. Thank you all for your ongoing support, it means the world to me.

I almost forgot it’s International Cheetah Day! It was started by the Cheetah Conservation Fund to raise awareness for cheetah conservation and habitat loss. Check them out at cheetah.org they do important work.
These photos are from a previous career when I lived in San Diego, it feels like a lifetime ago.

Join us in wishing this lovely lady a very Happy Birthday! Abby volunteers several times a week and is quickly learning the ropes and is very eager to learn new skills. She even came out to volunteer on her birthday this morning! What dedication! We hope you have the best birthday, Abby, we are so happy to have you on our animal care team! 🎂

This itty-bitty ripped his toenail off yesterday and earned himself a slumber party, indoors, for the night, to be closely monitored. When birds break a nail or accidentally rip one off, they sure do bleed a lot and it can take some time to get it to stop bleeding. If they get too excited and run around before a proper clot has formed, it can start the bleeding all over again. Squiggy had a quiet evening and today he’s good as new and happy to be back out with his mini-friends.

Simon is back from the hair salon after getting
full-body highlights in his thick hair. It’s exhausting being this handsome.

We’d like to wish this lovely lady a very Happy Birthday! Victoria is such a valuable asset to Blackbird, and one of the most dedicated people I know. Victoria has been volunteering with Blackbird Ranch for years, she does so much behind the scenes to help our little organization out and she doesn’t get nearly the recognition that she deserves. Victoria has a heart full of compassion and generosity, and is one of my favorite humans. We are so lucky to have you on our team, Victoria, and we hope you have a wonderful birthday.

Our Thanksgiving merch is still available! This design features our very own Jack, the turkey, and is in remembrance of the 46 million turkeys who are killed each year in America, for this one
holiday.

All proceeds from this campaign will go towards purchasing Jack a new elevated feed bin, something he can eat from comfortably, but the two pigs who share his space can’t get in to.
