  Bill & Hillary of The Sanctuary |
Our HomeWe show to you first our sleeping quarters, the barn. At night we share this building with The Pigs and The Birds. They each have their own rooms. We share the largest part, the center with the Sheep. During the rainy season, The Llamas stay with us as well. We tolerate the latter. The Sheep have made themselves our herd. They follow us everywhere. We know it is because they expect us to protect them. We hear the Coyotes in the distance. The Sheep do not understand that the Coyotes will not even come close. They are frightened by the Dogs and the lights and the human. The human worries for us at night and so requests that we stay in the Barn. It is a good place to stay. It is where we are fed.
The Splendor Of Our SelvesNow you may look upon us. Here you may see Hillary. Is she not the most splendid being you have ever been fortunate enough to see? Do you not wish to shower her with kisses? Can you not envision monuments being erected to memorialize her beauty? And her mind! Oh, but if you could hear her insights regarding the conditions of the planet. She is one of the foremost advocates for Animals Rights. It started with the fact that the human here was denying us food! Can you imagine such a decision? We repeatedly told her that food should be given to us in great quantities. And specific foods. We wanted the grains. And she refused. She also refused us the alfalfa hay. She forced upon us timothy hay. Why? How could she subject us to such meager fare?Hillary would have none of it. She bellowed. She brayed. She ignored the human even when the human would enter our space bowing to us. 
Well, in honesty, we would have ignored the human even without the issues surrounding our food allotment. There was in this an added reason to ignore her. The human conceded. Not that she would give us the alfalfa hay we requested. And grains we never see. She did win for us a carrot everyday. And one for the Sheep and Llamas. Did the offending behavior stop with this? Of course not. We have been subjected to deplorable treatment. Vaccinations. Worming Medicine in our mouths. Halters placed on our fair faces when our movement is to be restricted. And fly spray. Fly Spray! A horrible substance sprayed upon our bodies. And why are we subjected to this? Because some human at some point mistook us for Dog food. At least that is the excuse we are given. We are asked if we would rather have gone off to be Dog food whenever we resist these indignities. Well of course not. That was just another human mistake. And so what if we are not indigenous to this plentiful region? What difference does it make that we would stay thinner if we lived in the desert from which our ancestors originated? What is this human obsession with thin bodies? We have none of this dreaded kidney disease we keep hearing we are prone to if we do not loose weight. Humans. Personally, I think this harasment originated with the time I bit the human and wouldn't release her leg from the firm grip of my teeth. Taught her a thing or two about Equine Management and her need to get some training in the field as soon as possible. I assure you she won't allow herself to be found in a position to assist a scared Donkey without making some agreements with same first.Oh yes, this is me. I am Lord Bill of The Sanctuary. I am the ruler of all who live outside the Rabbit Yard. Elvis has accepted me as his Lord. He will toss his head a bit in my presence, that is as far as he will go. I watch over all the Animals who live in my domain. If you should ever have the great fortune to come here, I will watch over you as well. That is my job, I am Lord Bill of The Sanctuary
