Told Nico kitten looked 2 wks but ate like 3 wks. Definitely not 5 days old. Very cute little boy kit. Half siamese. Fed him & another kit.
Viral donated KMR (baby formula for kittens) and wet food with gravy so kitten that was rescued could eat and drink and grow without choking and starving and being dehydrated. Also older kitten badly malnourished can eat also and gain wait.
I'm so proud of him. Kitten was very grateful. I poured him some and I thought someone turned on a super vacuum in his stomach. He didn't stop slurping it up til it was gone.

SSWWRR would like to formally introduce Warrior Legacy Foundation.
The Warrior Legacy Foundation is an organization (filing for 501C4 status) that is steadfastly committed to changing the perception of the America’s Warrior Class. WLF passionately defends the dignity of this noble profession regardless of the era of service. Across every generation, at war and at peace, America has asked her citizens to protect liberty and defend freedom at all costs. No matter the terrain or political climate, America’s Warriors have met every challenge, sacrificed everything that was asked in order to defeat their enemies and protect our shared way of life. WLF advocates for the everlastingly preservation of the hallowed legacy of the American Warrior and the limitless support of their success.
SSWWRR believes that with the help and support of WLF the Wounded Warrior Ranch will become a reality for all of our soldiers very soon. We want to thank everyone that has supported SSWWRR thus far. From this point forward, all support of SSWWRR will be made through WLF. We encourage everyone to continue their support of the Wounded Warrior Ranch and look forward to seeing this project come to fruition.
Please visit the website at www.warriorlegacyfoundation.org and view all the exciting programs they have to offer.
Sincerely,
SSWWRR

WLF Program - Warrior Ranch Retreat
WARRIOR RANCH RETREAT
WLF is creating a retreat/camp for returned Warriors and their families. This ranch is designed for the express purpose of providing mental, physical and emotional rehabilitation for soldiers (and families of those) returning from active duty in the US Military.
The site is a 205 acres abundant in wildlife ranging from whitetail/axis deer and fish to wild turkey. The ranch is adjacent to the Frio River, a crystal clear river that runs for over 200 miles. The design of the project consists of 25, fully furnished, 2-bedroom 2-bathroom cabins. All cabins will be equipped for special-needs guests. In addition, there will be a 2500 sq. ft. building accommodating a fully stocked grocery store, office, game room, gym and commercial BBQ pit. The retreat would be capable of housing up to 75 guests at any one time.
This retreat will have many purposes, but primarily it will assist those who are often forgotten but still affected affected by war: the families of our servicemen and women. We will host returned warriors and their families for a program that helps them re-connect both as a family unit and as members of our society. It will also provide a camp for children of veterans who have lost limbs that has counselors who have lost limbs themselves. We will humanize and celebrate their parents’ sacrifice; rather than victimize and pity their injuries.
We all recognize that returning from war is difficult and that support from family, friends,comrades and the society at large is vital for a successful transition. We will offer counseling,both professional and peer to peer, as well as a wealth of programs to allow the returning vets to ease their way out of battle mode. We will have outdoor activities suitable for all including specific programs designed for wounded warriors.
The Legacy of America’s Warriors must be preserved.

How to Groom/Stable Hand Chores/Farm / Barn Maintenance
Daily Items:
1. clean and rake all paddock areas (dirt area) and dispose of manure. Check fences and area for dangerous objects or disrepair.
2. Pasture and grass area clean once a week (large pastures), smal pasture or turn out every day. Know what your poisonous weeds look like and get rid of them.
3. All water buckets scrubbed with toilet brush and refilled once a day (if horses are stalled at night). If for any reason they are stalled during the day they should be cleaned and filled 3 times a day and stalls cleaned 3 times a day.

6. Tack cleaned after each use...a quick wipe down is sufficient. Polish tack including boots as necessary according to use and climate. I do my saddles once a week.
7. Every horse whether ridden or not should be given a once over once a day to check for injuries etc...that means checking feet too. If they need fly spray or whatever...do it.

Wildcatter Ranch Resort and Spa
I welcome Wildcatter Ranch Resort and Spa owners to contact me if they have any questions or suggestions.
Friday, August 7, 2009
Have great business idea need capital. Seeking business investor or partner.
Right now we are looking at land to buy and build on. We are looking at a March 1st closing date. We will be expanding our services with this purchase.
I own my small business and am currently looking to add a partner to my business. My small business adviser recommended I have the land owner as a partner. I will be building 2 homes on the land. CCR and FBO are Federal sites to land contracts and grants.
Great business Opportunity. Need investor or Partner. Registered with CCR and FBO. Have great business idea need capital. Seeking business investor or partner. I've registered with CCR and FBO. BLM has also offered me horses. Small Business Adviser suggested a partner. Land has been selected. This is not a gimmick or sales call. A viable business plan is in effect and working for Wildcatter Ranch in Texas.
Objectives:Show Patriotism sponsoring events working with wounded military vets.Breed horses, show them, sell them. Sell tack and accessories. Sell online products. Pet Sit/House Sit. Provide Security.Trail Rides,Boarding, B&B guests. Attend shows and other events. Work with the neighboring towns/community. Put them to work. It's a Win/Win situation.
Wildcat’s Sanctuary and Ranch will be a business entity which applies 21st
century technology and business practices to an ageless business
environment. Live business experimentation over the last 12 months has identified
that this modern approach to a traditional business yields a substantial
competitive edge and extraordinary customer appeal. The overall concept,
once fully operational, will be highly successful, able to sustain a
profitable company with the potential to expand exponentially.
What do you say to buying property together with a home on it and running the ranch business together? We could have a home for B&B and a small 2 br located on property. Wildcatter Ranch in TX is the model I did my business plan after. Completely successful. Florida has too many competition. Supply and Demand equation just doesn't work well here. But I've been researching other areas. It was narrowed to Seattle, WA and Virginia Beach, VA.
BLM will supply me with mustangs yearly to break and train. . Other horses could be picked up through auctions and sales from other ranches. Cost $50 to$2000 per horse depending on where acquired.
I think the only way we can do this would be to pool our resources and be equal partners. We all have different experiences and knowledge to bring to this partnership. We can be real competition to Wildcatter,except even better, there is NO COMPETITION in the areas researched. Easy access for Military personnel and Gov workers to relax. Put locals to work and improve economics in our own town.
