Saturday, Sept.8

Today is our big surgery day. All the action will start at 8:30. Before that we'll be putting on neck bands and putting kitties into their rooms so they are close by for when we need them. They already have their food removed--oh my, that's so cruel. At least that's what they're telling me! We have 5 castrations, 8 spays, 1 male dog (from ALOL) and 12 physicals to do.

Cassidy had his surgery yesterday, to remove his bad eye. He's still feeling a little punky this morning, but was given fluids already today. Hopefully, that will bring back some of his bounce. He's sleeping quietly right now. The surgery went well and Dr. Darcy will see him again today.

One of our volunteers isn't feeling very good. She is our oldest volunteer and has been with us for many years. It's Dorothy, who usually comes on Tuesday evenings. If you would like to send her a card, that would be so nice. Send it to FFRC, with her name on the outside of the envelope. I will make sure that she gets every one of them!
