Friday, May 8

What a great way to work at my desk. Zelda is here on the desk with me. Debut is on top of the desk, watching me. Cutie is snoozing beside me. Lucy Ann is napping behind me. And Jete and Amani are playing on the floor. The sun is shining in the door. Shamballie is out playing with his shadow! Preakness is giving herself a grooming here in the sunbeam. A great day for sure!

Our Tomasina had a nice morning. She spent the night in June's Room and seemed very happy and comfortable. She ate a good breakfast today. She also was placed on the princess bed in the Kitty Kabana room. She stayed there for quite some time--she seemed to enjoy being up high and the view outside. When she was done, she got down! She does know what she wants and how to do it. She is a real sweetie.

Our raffle is still on. We have 8 items and they are all wonderful! Ticket taking ends tomorrow (Saturday) at 9 am.  All it takes to win is one ticket!

We've heard about Jamie, our adoptive cat. Linda, his mama, just called and she loves him. She says he follows her everywhere, sleeps with her, lays at her feet and loves to play with the other cat, Little. A great story!
