January 20, Friday

It's time to get our blog restarted. As you may know, my dad passed away last week. I truly appreciate all the cards and concern you have shown. It's helped me get thru a very rough time in my life. Steve has also had his knee surgery and is doing fairly well. Physical therapy three times a week is tough but he's doing it! He says thanks for all his get well cards.

We had 2 adoptions yesterday. A wonderful gentleman came in looking for 2 catfriends to keep him company. He chose Pawsome and Paullio. I think these 2 cats are very lucky to have this home and I know they will be well loved. A week from today (Friday the 27th) we will have webcam visitors, including Colleen for Weasley and Dhana! A fun day! On Saturday the 28th we will have a surgery day. Surgeries will be done by Dr. Cindy.

Because I have been so busy with my family, I had gotten behind opening boxes, but slowly but surely, I'm getting caught up!

Here are the BOXES that were opened the last 2 nights. Thank you ever so much for your support and wonderful ways of caring about this Rescue Center.
