Special Anniversary Issue:Remembering some of the Great Ones

who touched so many lives

Fall 2011

DEETEZAPortrait by Sherry Szmigiel

Spring Farm is currently home to about 260 per-manent animal residents. However, over the past 20 years, many more have come through the farm and moved on into spirit, and many others, espe-cially orphaned kittens have found adoptive homes. All of them have touched our hearts deeply. Many were incredible master teachers who shared their thoughts and visions with visitors, workshop par-ticipants, and of course all of their caretakers. We have been the final sanctuary for many hundreds of cats, 35 dogs, over 100 rabbits, several pocket pets, 3 llamas, 5 sheep, 22 goats, 68 horses, over 200 ducks, chickens, and geese, and 5 birds during the past 20 years.

For this edition, we have chosen 10 of those ani-mals who dramatically impacted our lives and the path of the farm, to tell a bit of their stories, and to share some of their wisdom. The truth is that every animal who comes here, makes a difference to all of us who care for them, and to the farm as a whole. But these ten stand out most especially because of the strength of their teachings, the way they lived their lives, and the tenacity it took for them to get to the farm in the first place. And each of them touched thousands of lives and continue to do so to-day. Their legacy lives on in all of us who love them.

TEN OF THE MOST AMAZING ANIMALS WHO HAVE INFLUENCED US

2

This year marks our 20th year operating as Spring Farm CARES. During this time, so many wonderful ani-mals have graced our lives and blessed this farm and all of you who are journeying along with us. It is incredible to think back to the grace and wisdom, the lessons shared, the unconditional love they have shown us, the messages that touched so many hearts. It is what has gotten us to where we are today. We set out to be a place that rescued animals, only to find out instead that they were the ones rescuing us. They asked us to bring along everyone who wanted to listen and share in what they had to teach and give.

20 years of memories, of laughter, of tears, and of wis-dom and growth. 20 years of hard work and trust that we could go on from one year to the next. 20 years of finding friends and sharing with all of you the magic that we have found. Many of you have been with us since the begin-ning, and still others of you are new or may be reading about us now for the first time. In this edition, we wanted to look back at just some of the animals who have touched our lives. Some of them you will remember and others may be new to you.

And within the gifts of their teaching, we will also share what we have accomplished in the last 20 years. We started from just two of us working by ourselves and creating this organization out of nothing but a vision and from our hearts and the love of the animals in our lives, to now, twenty years later, overseeing an organization of 25 employees, over 100 volunteers, and 262 animal residents, all surrounded by over 250 acres of nature sanctuary, powered by the help of wind turbines to make our foot-print lighter on the earth we cherish. We have a lot to be thankful for, so much to be proud of, and we are always grateful for the love and support – financial, emotional, physical, and spiritual – from you over these years. We walk this planet together and as the animals have taught and shown us, it is working together that will move us in closer harmony with all of life.

We look forward to the next generations to come, both animals and humans, who will be a part of this grand journey. We know you’ll enjoy hearing from some of the masters who have shared with us. We ask that you then pass this along to your friends as well. From one heart to another and another and another, it is how the world heals and moves forward.

TEN OF THE GREATEST TEACHERS TEACHING WITH LOVE & WISDOM

DEETEZA

Deeteza was and continues to be the spiritual grandmother of this farm. We were blessed with her physical presence from 1987 until her passing in 1994. Her legacy is that of her teachings and of her continued connection to our hearts and souls. She is always a part of this farm. It is because of Deeteza that Dawn stepped into her role as an Animal Com-municator and, it is safe to say, that without Deeteza, Dawn may not have found that path as easily. That accomplishment indeed has directly touched many thousands of animals’ and humans’ lives through Dawn’s work.

The other animals referred to Deeteza as “The Great Voice”. And that voice was great indeed. For years Deeteza participated in Animal Communica-tion workshops here at the farm. Many people’s lives were changed by her messages to them. Her loving influence on this farm could never be quanti-fied.

In her own words:

I have known many great things in life. I enjoyed the sun on my back and the rain on my skin. I loved standing beneath the stars at night. I longed for the first taste of spring grass. I knew friendship. I knew love. I knew what it was like to call a place home. But the most important thing in my life that I found at Spring Farm was a place where I could be honored for who I am. And it was not just me, but all the animals who lived there, and continue to live there, that know this. To know you are heard, to feel that you are loved, and to understand that you are home are things that so many animals never find, and that so many humans search endlessly for in their own lives. It is an incredible gift to receive. If I have given to this farm even a fraction of what being on the farm gave to me, then I have done well.

We all need to know physical safety, but, more than that, our hearts need to feel secure. Love freely, live wisely, walk softly, breathe deeply, and life will fulfill all that you came to do. You will find your purpose, feel your heart’s connection to your soul, and you will understand a love without judgment and condition. But most importantly, you need to first believe that you can. Believe and you shall see, seek and you shall find, love and you shall know love in return. It is the way of all the universe.

TEN OF THE GREATEST TEACHERS TEACHING WITH LOVE & WISDOM

Sugar was the first animal cruelty case that we were called upon to help. There were many to follow, but Sugar taught us so much. She taught us how judgment clouds healing. That the want for revenge keeps the pain alive, rather then moving on and letting it go. Seems so idealistic, but Sugar was a master at getting her message across. If ever there was a pony who should have hated humans, it was Sugar. But, instead, she adored anyone who came to visit her and people flocked to her like a magnet. Her heart was bigger than the entire barn. Sugar loved musical figurines and once people heard about that, they started sending them to her. We soon put a shelf up in her stall where all the musical figurines were kept. Each night when we closed down the barn, she would go over and put her nose on one so that we could wind it up and she’d hear it play. Each night, she’d choose a different one. Dawn once asked her which was her favorite and she said, “They all are because people sent them with such love.”

Sugar was crippled from neglect and her legs were so deformed she could barely walk. But she lived pain free and she enjoyed life at Spring Farm every second she was here. Never has there been a more beloved pony. For years, she stood neglected in a field all alone. But her final years were spent surrounded by horse friends, and so many humans who adored her that her heart was always filled. She told us that many times.

Sugar loved to listen to the radio and had her favorite station and her favorite songs. Her most favorite song was From A Distance by Bette Midler. One day a woman came with a little girl for a tour of the farm. We all no-ticed when Sugar heard her voice that she went nuts and became so excited. We’d never seen that reaction before. In talking to the woman, we suddenly realized she was a DJ at the radio station that Sugar enjoyed so much. Sugar recognized her immediately. We told her Sugar’s story and she cried. The next day we were all stunned, including Sugar, when that DJ said a special shout out to her new friend Sugar and played From A Distance for her. Wow, what a moment as Sugar stood there listening. There was not a dry eye in our barn.

But Sugar was more than just an amazing pony. She told Dawn that she had been an Indian Medicine Woman in a past life. Now, you can believe that or not, but she often would recommend herbs and homeopathic rem-edies for horses who were sick in our barn. And she was always right. Even our veterinarians started to ask Sugar her opinion on things. Its true!

CHUBBY

Chubby was a most amazing mare who taught us so much about trust, forgiveness, patience and harmony. She was our first serious long-term medical care horse. She had literally sloughed both front feet from severe laminitis before she came to our farm. We had been involved with her rehab and moved her to the farm when she was sound enough to be trailered. Chubby’s hooves regrew sufficiently to allow her to live comfortably, albeit far from the life of a normal horse. She shared a pen for many years with Sugar, a pony also disabled. The two of them miraculously survived the night of our fire when we had to evacuate the horses. Nearly unable to walk, we managed to convince Chubby that life was still worth living and she had to get up on those feet and out of the barn. She trusted us and she did get out.

Chubby went on to be one of our greatest teachers during animal communication workshops. Her gentle and loving way embraced so many hearts and opened them wide to receive her communications. So many people got their very first telepathic communication from Chubby. And the people whose hearts she touched, loved her with the same devotion that we did. Chubby lived for workshops and for the opportunity to work with people at such a deep level. In fact, Chubby died very unexpectedly right in the middle of a workshop. After she had

passed, three of the participants who had been to the farm be-fore, told us that they came because Chubby told them if they wanted to see her again, they needed to come to that work-shop. She died doing what she cherished most in the world. Chubby was a magnificent soul who forever changed our lives.

MONICA

Monica was an Afghan Hound who also touched our lives in amazing ways. She was actually Dawn’s dog but lived in the Spring Farm facility where she loved it. Monica had many health problems and other problems that made it difficult for her to be around new people. She was a bit of an eccentric recluse. She’d share with animal communication workshop participants every once in a while, but, in general, she preferred to just stay on the outer edge of things and watch. She did however really adopt a couple of workshop participants over the years and she gave them amazing gifts. But none of us could have predicted the gift of music that she left us with. Workshop participant, Larry Lebow, had just visited her room and as he walked out, he had the incredible urge to go over to our grand piano that we have in the main hall. As he sat down, he felt Monica flood his heart, and he heard her say, “Play the chord of C.” Larry sat down to play and the music just started to flow from him. Monica’s music. Larry had never composed music before, yet it flowed through him as if he’d done it his whole life. When the other participants reas-sembled, we asked him to play the song for us. Our staff listened in as well and there was not a dry eye in the house. We were all so incredibly moved because those of us who knew Monica and loved her somehow knew this really was her song. It was as if her

soul was suddenly put to music and flowed through Larry’s heart, out through his fingers, and into all of our ears and hearts. That was amazing enough, but Monica wasn’t finished. Larry woke up the next morning with another song flowing through him and he sat at our piano and played that one. Monica has worked with Larry with the composition of many pieces of music. Larry has published 2 CDs worth of their music together.

Beautiful body, magnificent soul, majestic heart, and a symphony of music that brought Monica to the world. Even with all of her health problems, Monica lived to be quite old. She will always be an amazing part of this farm and her music will fill our hearts forever.

Simon was another being who touched an incredible number of hearts during workshops. Simon was quite the philosopher. Many people saw him as a monk, and he loved to share his wisdom and humor with all. Simon was noted for very deep work with people. And that work has continued long after his passing. This photo of Simon by Suzanne Gold, hangs life-size in our big meeting hall. People often stop and look at that photo and tear up. They’ll say, “There is something so special about that goat isn’t there?” They usually add, “Somehow he reminds me of a wise monk.” And we can hear Simon laughing from spirit and filling our hearts with joy.

Living in harmony has nothing to do with being friends with everyone. It has nothing to do with liking everyone. But it has everything to do with respecting everyone as being dif-ferent, and accepting those differences as being just that….. differences.

The Earth is crying out for harmony. There are many examples of harmony all around you. In your garden, plants, even ones that antagonize one another or compete for the same space, do so out of an understanding of harmony. Harmony is simply living life with understanding and respect. As a goat, in our barn, we all understood the need for this. We didn’t all like each other. In fact, many of us had great differences with one another. But the one thing we understood was being part of something greater than ourselves. We each knew and under-

SIMONstood that we were all family in the same home. We were all beings on the Earth. And in that respect, we are all brothers and sisters.

I have lived in many lifetimes and eras. Never have I seen the urgency for harmony as critical as it is now. And never have I seen the world so close to achieving this harmonic re-emergence. It is a grand reawakening. Many lifetimes I have lived in a stable and I have seen much change occur in these stables. Not just with the animals, but with the humans. Stables, have been the beginning of many a great teacher. Because in the stable, harmony is abundant, peace is under-stood, and beginnings are begun. Let peace and harmony be your way, your light, and your destination.

Message from Simon:

Phoebe the duck will always have a place in our hearts and memories. Her life took a sudden turn when Phoebe got stepped on one morning by one of our horses. Our barn manager brought her to the office in a box and said her leg was badly broken. Dawn opened the box and looked in and a very angry Phoebe screamed, “Well, don’t just stand there and look at it, FIX IT!!!!” The first veterinarian to examine her recommended euthanasia as the only treatment. To which Phoebe replied to Dawn, “Death is not a treatment plan. Get me out of here!” Thus began a very long relationship with Phoebe. Dawn knew there was no way this duck was ready to die. She remembered hearing about a vet several hours away who did surgery on birds. So she took Phoebe home and called that vet. They agreed to

see her and, late that afternoon, a team of 4 veterinarians suited up and diligently worked for hours to rebuild her leg. They suc-ceeded. But the leg never did get strong enough for her to be released back out with our flock of ducks. For her rehab time, she lived in our office where we made her a great nest out of the bottom of a large dog crate. Phoebe settled right in. Phoebe loved to be picked up and held and loved to give hugs with her wings. She was a most appreciative duck. She loved watching comedies on TV and when there was lots of laughter, she would do this funny little quack that sounded like someone chuckling. Phoebe let us know regularly how happy she was being a house duck. Phoebe graced our lives until the grand old age of 14yrs. Certainly the longest lived duck we’ve ever had here, and the most pampered as well.

PHOEBE

Scooter was the most amazing Pitbull in the world. He was our ambas-sador. Scooter came to us after he was brought to a veterinarian by animal control to be euthanized. He was starving and hairless due to severe mange. He was deaf. He was young. And he was one of the most pathetic sights you can imagine. But he had a heart of gold. He could be pensive and deep and he was the biggest goofball the world could know. He was brilliant and he used that brilliance with his deafness to manipulate people every chance he could. He was trained to hand signals. When we had him out in our fenced in dog yard for playtime, if he didn’t want to come in, he’d simply turn his back to the person giving him the signal to “come” and he’d say, “I can’t hear you, I’m deaf.” Scooter was an incredible character. For the last

half of his life, he lived in the office/home of our Executive Director, Bonnie. It was not lost on Scooter that he got to “sleep with the boss.” He held that over all of the other animals’ heads. He was the chosen one. And he took his job as chief assistant very seriously. Many times you could find Scooter, sitting in Bonnie’s desk chair, staring at her computer. Thank goodness he couldn’t use the mouse or keyboard. Scooter died at the age of 12 after surviving bone cancer for an amazing 2 years. And that was after surviving two other forms of cancer earlier in his life.

SCOOTER

Gulliver was a spiritual giant who blessed this farm. It would take many pages to do justice to who he was and all he stood for and what he meant to all of us. While the other animals referred to Deeteza as The Great Voice, they referred to Gulliver as The Great Eyes. When Gulliver looked at you, there was an incredible knowledge that he just looked into your soul and saw you for who you really are. He was not for the faint of heart. He taught those who wanted to look deeply within themselves for answers. He would be there to guide you as far as you wanted to go. But if people were looking to him to tell them all the answers in life, and didn’t want to do the work themselves, then Gulliver would just walk away. He was a stern teacher but with a heart of gold. People often joked that while Simon was the monk of the farm, Gulliver was the great lama. He changed people’s lives, literally. People who were open to the spirituality of animals would meet him and say they felt like dropping to their knees, his energy was so strong. And people who didn’t really get that on that same level would say, “there is something freaky about this llama the way he looks at you.” It always made us laugh when people said that because we knew he was touching their hearts in a very special way and they didn’t even know it.

From Gulliver:

Teach of the heart.Let your voice be heard, but softly.Let your words be strong, but gentle.

Whisper to the soul.Let your heart fly free, yet focused.Let your love flow outward, yet inward.

Live in my heart.Let my heartbeat guide you, yet teach you to lead.Let my inner truth be seen by you, and guide you to your own.

Remember me always.Connected by our hearts.Felt deeply in our souls.

Entwined by eternity together.

GULLIVER

We absolutely need to include George Kigercat in this list. George is one of our founding cats and he plays a big role in our history. In fact, our small animal facility is named after him – George Kigercat Hall – because he is the one who designed it. Yes, you read that correctly. George, a cat, designed the building that houses our small animal facility and conference hall. George was a dynamic cat. In August of 1993, George started some rather odd behavior. He’d go out for hours at a time and not return. Each time Dawn asked him what he was doing, he told her, “I’m designing your new barn.” When Dawn would tell him we don’t need a new barn, he’d respond, “you never know, its best to be prepared.” This went on for weeks. Then, one day in late September, he cried at the door to be let out and he told Dawn, “I’m going out to put the finishing touches on your new barn.”

George never returned home. We found his body in the brush beside the road a day later, obviously he had been hit by a car. We were beyond devastated. One month later, the barn that was our facility, burned to the ground and suddenly we were in desperate need of a new barn. Dawn is not good at de-signing things so George told her he’d send it to Bonnie some-how. One morning, a few weeks later, Bonnie woke up from a dream where George gave her the entire plans, to scale, for a pole barn structure. Bonnie got up and immediately drew them on a sheet of paper. That building is now our main facility. Designed by a cat and built by a very patient carpenter, Doug Hughes, who had to endure a cat taking credit for his building!

GEORGEWe do not have any photos of George Kigercat because they

all burned in the fire. But his face is still as alive in our memo-ries as the day he walked out that door the last time. The photo above is a cat named Rembrandt who clearly adopted Dawn and for who, we are very sure, is our dear George Kiger-cat returned. He also happens to look exactly like George, only with longer hair.

Amber is probably the most famous of our animals to have lived on the farm. She used to tell us she was as old as dirt. The truth is, she was nearly 40 when she came here and she lived with us for over 10 years. She was indeed ancient, and that was not be-cause of her physical years, but because of her wisdom. While the other animals called Deeteza, The Great Voice, and Gulliver ,The Great Eyes, they called Amber, The Great Ears. Not surprising, right? But it was not just the size of her physical ears that prompted that title. Amber had a way of listening to everyone that was a most amazing gift. She was very grandmotherly in her approach both to people and other animals. Patient. Gentle. Incredibly loving and kind. Yet, Amber was also an incredible imp, jokester, and prankster with a huge sense of humor. Those traits she reserved especially for her human caretakers. There was not a person who worked here that did not love her. Amber ended up being a key feature of our newsletters, sharing her wisdom and humor. She be-came such a hit, that we started an Ask Amber feature on our website that grew into her own blog: Hoof And Heartbeats. That blog still continues even after her passing, just as she requested. (http://hoofandheartbeat.blogspot.com)

In her own words:

When you remember me, I hope you do so with your heart and how it felt when we were together. I hope you remember the fun and the joy and the laughter. When you remember me, I hope you remember the joy I had for life, the love I had for everyone, and the many com-munications we shared. I loved life for all it was. I love the human heart for all it can muster. And I loved the chance to listen and speak and share with those who were open to hear. If I have a legacy, let that legacy be found in the laughter of those I love and in the joy that they give to others. And I hope you remember me for the way I saw you. You can best find yourself through the eyes of someone who sees you for who you are. May your eyes be filled with as much joy as tears, with as much beauty as your eyes can behold, and with as much love as you have given me.

Our Legacy for the Community and gift to Earth and her inhabitants10

The Nature Sanctuary is now larger than it has ever been before and con-sists of approximately 260 acres. We maintain a wide range of habitat types – from boggy wetlands and beaver ponds, to mature forest and open meadow. All of this land is kept safe from hunting, trapping, logging and motorized vehicles – and all of the other exploitative activities that cause so much harm to wildlife and their habitats.

Since 1999, we’ve planted over 10,000 trees into 6 different reforestation areas in order to create the distinct habitat types that best serve our native wildlife. To date, 80 different native tree species have been used in our plantings. Our hope is that, through its diversity, our evolving forest will be more disease resistant than our regions existing woodlands, which sadly, have been succumbing to pervasive diseases in the environment.

Our plantings of seed, nut and fruit producing species are intended to provide sustenance to both resident and migrant species alike. Our fruit trees include: Dogwoods, Hawthorns, Viburnums, Mountain Ash and Cherries. Our planted nut trees include: Oaks, Hazelnut, Hickories and Chestnut.

172 Species of birds and 2 hybrids have been cataloged on the property, which constitutes the largest bird list for any single location in Oneida County.

Featured Program:Our NATURE SANCTUARY

Over 55 species of birds are known to breed at the Sanctuary – and more will be able to nest here as the habitat continues to evolve and improve.

Over 350 species of vascular plants have been identified at the Sanctuary and over 100 native species (representing 1,000s of individual plants) have been introduced into protected gardens or in appropriate niches around the property. Rare medicinal herbs like American Ginseng and Goldenseal are now found in several areas in our mature forest. Yellow Ladyslipper and Bottle Gentian are other rare native introductions that are beginning to spread in their respective habitats. Our specially planted wildflower meadow contains 4 varieties of coneflower as well as Spiderwort, Bergamot, Foxglove Beardtongue and many other beautiful and uncommon flow-ers and grasses.

56 species of butterflies have been found sampling the Sanctuary’s flowers, and many of them proceed to breed on the property. The Baltimore Checkerspot, Hickory Hairstreak, and Eyed Brown are several of our Nature Sanctuary specialty species.

4 species of turtle and at least 8 species of Amphibian enjoy safe haven with us and have been flourishing, even as their ilk disappears from areas all around the globe.

Our beloved colony of beavers has been actively creating and maintaining wetlands for us since 1999. The beaver are what’s known as a “key stone species”, and where ever they reside, a whole matrix of life will develop around them. The Beaver Ponds regularly bring in Kingfishers, Herons, Ducks and Geese – as well as woodpeckers that love to feed and nest in the dead trees that hang over the ponds.

White-tailed Deer, Gray Fox, Coyote, Mink, Muskrat, Raccoon, Woodchuck, Opossum and Eastern Cottontail Rabbit are commonly occurring mammals, while our rarer mammals include: Snow Shoe Hair, Porcupine, Fisher, Northern Flying Squirrel and Hoary Bat.

Over 160 bird boxes have been erected around the Sanctuary in order to provide homes for Bluebirds, Tree Swallows, Screech Owl, Great Crested Flycatchers and many other cavity nest-ing species.

Over 5 miles of trails wind through all the various habitat types – crossings brooks, ascend-ing wooded hillsides and allowing rare views of unconstrained nature.

ANIMAL SANCTUARY

www.springfarmcares.org/animsanct.htm The heart and soul of Spring Farm is our Animal Sanc-tuary. We are currently home to 262 animals:

185 cats, 7 dogs, 15 rabbits, 2 parrots, 28 horses, 10 goats, 15 ducks/chickens/geese.

We also rescue and adopt out around 100 orphaned kittens and cats each year. Rabbits are also available for adoption

The animals are cared for by a staff of 17 full-time and 8 part-time people as well as over 100 volunteers.

Four of the full-time staff are administrative staff who keep this place running smoothly.

In addition, the 3 Directors, Bonnie, Dawn, and Margot, live on-site 24/7/365.

HUMANE EDUCATION

www.springfarmcares.org/humaneed.htm

Our Humane Education Program now reaches over 5,300 people annually. We go into the school class-rooms to give presentations as well as having many of the classes come directly to the farm, not just to experience the animals, but also to learn about the interconnectedness to all of life.

Our program reaches schools, clubs, civic groups, nursing homes, and others.

Tours are available for groups and individuals. We just ask that you call for an appointment first so that our staff will be ready and able to spend time with you.

HAPPY HEARTH SPAY/NEUTER

www.springfarmcares.org/hhsn.htm

Our spay/neuter program is one of the largest on the East coast. Since its beginning in 1999, we have assisted in the spay/neuter of nearly 67,000 dogs and cats, pre-dominantly in Oneida County. 79% of those were cats and 21% dogs and rabbits.

Our program is a voucher assistance program open to residents of Oneida County and is based on financial need. Our goal is to reduce the number of unwanted animals.

We also spend a lot of time out in the community educating people about the necessity of spaying and neutering and the horrors of cat and dog overpopula-tion. Its a problem that affects us all.

INTERSPECIES COMMUNICATION

www.springfarmcares.org/workshops.htm

Through the work of co-founder Dawn Hayman, Animal Communication continues to be the philoso-phy that defines who we are and what we do, and im-pacts the daily lives of our animals. Since beginning her career in 1988, Dawn has talked to over 55,000 animals, has over 8,000 clients, and has taught many workshops.

We continue to reach out to people through our website, blog, and through consultations and work-shops to share the experiences, wisdom, and stories from the animals.

The language of the heart is universal and is yearn-ing to be heard.

We are the voices you hear in your heart.

Never silent.Ever present.

Always your friend.
