Our Little Shelter



The Board of directors of the Humane Society of Allen County with Santa

Hi kitties - I wanted to show you the board that makes sure the animals at our little shelter are well taken care of. Mommy is the lady standing to the left of Santa. She says her work there makes her heart sing. They are a great group of people and they all have one common goal - to improve the lives of the animals in our county. Mommy says that they are what's called a "working board". That just means that they clean kennels, do adoptions, paint walls, scrub floors and anything else that needs to be done. They also run the shelter on a skinny shoestring. Anyhow, I just thought I'd share this with you.

I'm so very, very tired anymore. I have enjoyed getting holiday cards from all of you and I want to say thanks. I nap most of the time. When I'm not napping I am eating. When I am not napping or eating I am sticking close to the 'rents. Mommy is calling me her Christmas Miracle because I'm hanging in there. No pain and no complaints, but I am slowly fading and sometimes I dream about the Bridge. I'm not scared and I feel surrounded by love. I will try to post more this Christmas week. Mommy has time off from her other job, so maybe I can convince her to help me.

Big smoochies to all of you - I love you all very much and realize your prayers and good thoughts are keeping me going...



Rogue!

We interrupt The Rudy Report this week to introduce Rogue. He's very shy and not near ready to trust the 'rents. We wish that he would listen to us when we tell him that the 'rents are really trying to help. He's been eating well - Daddy puts food out for him when he shows himself. He is learning that if he shows up and one of the 'rents sees him, food is not far behind. It is getting cold outside and we'd love to catch him before winter. He's a handsome boy (well, we think he's a boy...)

A Sad, Sad Story



What kind of "human" lets this happen?

Late in the afternoon after everyone had left the shelter for the day, the board president came back to the shelter to do some more work. These two puppies, plus another were found dumped and abandoned outside the receiving door. You can see every bone, they were covered in fleas and they were starving. I cannot tell you how sad this is. These poor guys were fed and given a flea bath. Please pray that they make a great recovery, our little shelter is determined to see that they get healthy and find awesome forever homes.
Mommy does not cry very often, but last night...she did.

Snowbound!

Wow! Kitties, I have to tell you that here in in O Hi O, the vacation spot of the world, we have a blizzard. We are snowed in! The 'rents can't get out of the house! YAY! There are drifts all up and down our big street and our driveway. Looks like all of the big plans for shopping and errands and stuff will not be happening anytime soon. Daddy is still painting the living room and Mommy is using some words from my bad word list because she was supposed to go out and get some rugs and curtains and stuff to decorate when he was finished.
The best laid plans kitties...
We are saying little prayers for the poor homeless animals -

Thankful Thursday - Chilly Edition

I am thankful for a warm home.

On the other side of this window is my Daddy scraping ice off of the truck.
Brrrrrrrrrr!

A Most Magical Night!

These are some random photos of our home this holiday. We want to wish you a warm and safe Christmas full of love and laughter and toys and treats and laps.
Give thanks for all we have and say a prayer for all of the kittes and other creatures who do not enjoy the good fortune that we do.
If Santa could find a loving home for all of them, I'd be happy to give up all of my Christmas toys and treats 'cause that would be the greatest gift ever.

Smoochies to all of you - your friendship is a great and cherished gift.

Formerly Feral Frigid Freezin' Freekin' Cold Friday!

-11 degrees with wind chills in the -30's!

All I have to say is I'm glad I pee in a box!
