The problem is progressing rather quickly and we have another phone that may be going the way of Ellen's - we could really use two, please!!

Two donated October 2009.Wireless Thermometer/Clock with Forecast Station for Asia - Need 1 - UNDERWRITTEN!!! [$39.99 Ea.]-The wireless monitor for our outdoor temperature is no longer working at the Asian barn. With the colder weather coming, it is essential for us to be able to know the temperature to determine who may need to come inside, when it is warm enough for them to go back out again, if they may need warm water in the water trailer, and many other aspects of their care. Not only does this model tell us the indoor/outdoor temperature, it also forecasts the weather, which is great for those busy winter days of pressure washing the entire barn - when time is short and having the forecast waiting in the kitchen would be perfect. One donated October 2009.Tires for Dump Wagon, 18x8.5-8 - Need 4 [$42.07 Ea.]-The new Asian Barn could really use a couple of trailer tires for the dump wagon that is used to make sure the yards stay clean for the Ladies. We have one tire that has been patched and re-patched and now seems to have a permanent slow leak. We would like to be able to completely replace that one and have a spare ready if one of the others go, since they are all fairly old and are used daily to haul heavy loads of manure and hay to their rightful place at the compost pile. Q Barn also needs two back-up tires for their wagon as well. Please Note: You will need to select Part # T511071 when ordering. Water Trailer Tires - Need 3 [$76.50 Ea.]-Our water trailers go into the habitat several times a day to make sure all of the Girls are getting enough water when they are away from the barn and are not near one of the new automatic waterers in the habitat. Both trailers are now being used, one at the Q Barn and one at new Asia and are extremely useful for elephants like Sissy, who have trunk paralysis, and drinking from standing water requires some effort. But while carting around 100 gallons of water through the habitat, we have gotten many flats, and with that amount of weight, the rim is usually damaged in the process. It would be great to have a replacement for one tire on each of the trailers and one extra for whichever trailer needs it first. PLEASE NOTE: YOU MUST SELECT THE NUMBER OF LUGS NEEDED WHEN ORDERING. WE NEED THE 5 LUG - #1604047. Grease Guns for Asia - Need 3 - URGENT NEED!! - UNDERWRITTEN!!! [$14.84 Ea.]-At Asia these guns are used to lubricate the wheels of all of our 45 gates, along with our hay carts, our manure track and our dump wagon.

[$109.06 Ea]-It is true that preventative medicine can go a long way to insuring our girls long term wellness. That is why all of our elephants receive Cosequin daily. Recent studies indicate that joint deterioration, as well as the accompanied debilitating pain and inflammation, can be prevented if addressed early. By supplementing the elephants with Cosequin before they show signs of a problem we can help to increase their chances of not developing the condition. As the elephants age, their risk of joint inflammation and deterioration increases. By providing Cosequin now, their joints have a better chance of staying healthy. This preventive measure just might stop the onset of the crippling inflammation and joint deterioration that plagues so many elephants kept in captivity.
