Ann Goodman hasn't been with us for very long, but she has a very natural way with the animals and we're glad she's chosen to join our little family of volunteers. Here is her ... http://sashafarm.org/blog/2008/05/07/from-our-volunteers/ This is such a hard entry to write that I've put it off for weeks now. Molly, our beautiful white mare, passed away on March 19th at the age of 30. Molly was a gentle soul, sweet and patient to a fault. Well, unless you were another horse trying to steal ... http://sashafarm.org/blog/2008/05/07/goodbye-molly/ We sent a reminder out yesterday about the upcoming Volunteer Work Day on Saturday, and somehow a spam message went out to the entire list shortly afterwards. We contacted our hosting company, and they don't have a real explanation for us, so the best we can do right now is ... http://sashafarm.org/blog/2008/04/10/e-mail-list-spam/ I'm so amazed at how fast these kids are growing, but considering how much they eat, I shouldn't really be surprised.

After hearing their story, we ... http://sashafarm.org/blog/2008/02/14/buy-a-hot-vegan-chick-dinner-on-valentines-day/ Luna is a 7-8 year-old Husky/Shepherd mix who desperately needs a home after her caretaker had to be moved into an assisted living facility. She's a gorgeous dog, absolutely stunning, and loves people, but doesn't  get along with other animals. As you can imagine, this makes life at an animal sanctuary ... http://sashafarm.org/blog/2008/02/14/luna-needs-a-home/ Piggy Sue arrived at the sanctuary on Sunday. (Please note that the red on her back and the floor is the warm glow of her heat lamp!) She's a lovely ten-year-old potbelly who lost her lifelong pig companion recently. She was so distraught that her person thought it would be ... http://sashafarm.org/blog/2008/02/14/piggy-sue-arrives-at-sasha/   Last week's brief thaw really made the SASHA Goose Gang pretty happy. Normally, the most water they get to swim in are the kiddie pools we dutifully fill for them several times a day in the summer, and a large trough in the winter. Last week, though, the entire yard ... http://sashafarm.org/blog/2008/02/14/lake-sasha/ The Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine is asking the Medical College of Wisconsin to reconsider using pigs for a live animal lab on Monday, February 18th.
