Winter bedding supplies received

Hi, and a special thank you to the friends of Red Lake Rosie who donated money for the 300 bales of oat straw needed for 2009-10 winter shelter bedding.

As it turned out our economical source at $2.00 per bale from last year dried up, and the price for the straw delivered and unloaded this year was a whopping $4.00 per bale. I needed $1200 to pay that bill and when I opened the mailbox yesterday, much to my surprise and great appreciation, I found $1,175.85 in donations!

We are happy to announce that the straw is delivered, stacked neatly and covered with tarp in the old hay shed AND paid for and all ready for winter. This supply should last the whole winter. If the Farmer's Almanac is correct we are expecting a bitterly cold and dry winter so now we are prepared.

Thank you donors!

Sincerely, Karen and RLRR

Winter is coming

Marilou at Pet Haven was kind enough to make a video in support of the Red Lake Rosie's Rescue winter bedding drive.



RLRR needs donations to purchase oat straw and cedar wood chips to keep the animals warm in their outdoor kennels. About 300 bales of straw @ $2.00 per bale and 20 bales of cedar wood chips @ $5.29/ bale are needed.

Winter will be coming soon in the far north of Minnesota, so we need to prepare now before the snow comes.

Winter bedding drive

As fall approaches, we begin to plan our winter bedding drive.

Winters are very long and cold here and the dogs and puppies rescued are sheltered in outdoor kennels. The use of oat straw is critical to insulate and keep them warm and cofortable.

We use about 300 bales of straw @ $2.00 per bale and 20 bales of cedar wood chips @$5.29/ bale.

I have attached pictures of the previous straw hauls and animals making use of the straw. Nancy and Tom O'Sullivan and Carolyn May have helped haul in the past.

Thank you for any help you might give to the Red Lake Rosie's straw haul to keep the dogs warm this coming winter.
