We need volunteers at Castle Rock's Twisted Trail Stables to help care for the dozens and dozens of animals brought in last night during the Black Forest fire. They are from the Black Forest Animal Sanctuary, and were literally dropped off in the middle of the night. Most of the sanctuary volunteers either lost their homes or have been evacuated, so we need Castle Rock residents to step up! Nancy DeVaney is the owner of Twisted Trail. She has Parkinsons, and pretty much runs the stables on her own- this can get a bit overwhelming on her own. If people can lend an hour or so, or bring by animal feed- great. She took in pregnant cattle, horses, ponies including a 3 day old colt, wonderful dogs, cats, rabbits, ducks, chickens, turkey, McCaw birds, lizard, pigs, sheep, goats, etc. Call Nancy at 303 249 0363 or myself (Ann).
 
Sending good thoughts to everyone impacted by the Colorado fires. Please stay safe!

I provided a small "swimming pool" for my girls to help with the heat day before yesterday. They have been bathing regularly ever since (smart birds). That being said, I'm not so worried about the heat, but I am a bit concerned about the smoke in our neighborhood- at what point do I need to worry about air quality? I'm not sure the house is any better (we're inundated). I assume I should just watch for signs of stress? Anyone have any experience with this?
 
Ya the smoke is pretty thick up here in Franktown, even. It almost looks overcast and stinks like the house is on fire. I'm going to give Nancy a call, as there just may be some extra pellets lying around for horses and chickens, dogs, cats, budgies, ducks, etc... Castle Rock isn't too far away.
 
Hi everybody...

another newly registered colorado resident... lakewood...
well almost, closing next week :fingers crossed:


thoughts and prayers to our fellow residents and visiting help,
dealing with the fire fallout in various capacities...

well, I guess I should go and get to packing...
 
Me again... I can't find Twisted Trails Stables in Castle Rock online, and nobody is answering the phones. There is a truck half full of livestock feed in the garage just waiting to be delivered. Let me know if you know more than I do, I just need an address.

I have never taken care of any animal larger than a dog, and I have no idea how much help I'll be, but I'm going to grab some food at least, and drive down to see what I can do. I couldn't get ahold of anyone, either.
