Then, Christopher went to his new home. He has a new Dad that loves him already. Sounds like this is a perfect match! Then, right before boxes, we had another one! This wonderful man arrived and he loved ALL the cats, but Nemo checked him out and put her paw on him and she became his. What a great day. There's still a few more adoptions coming up!
Badu spent the night in the house last night--tricky little girl that she is! But, she's back out and actually sleeping in her usual pose right now--arms hanging waaaay over the edge of her bed! Dennison is sleeping below her. I'm telling you, that boy is one handsome, big fella. And he's so sweet. Then Asha is sleeping under Dennison--yes, we have a staircase going on here. Asha is one happy girl--always ready for a good grooming. This is the highlight of each day for her!
Bondi is doing good. I had to laugh at her this morning. She hopped down from her heated bed and went over to get a bite of food. When she came back, Zavatar was in her bed. She stood up on her hind feet, put her front paw on the chair and used her other paw to bat, bat, bat Zavie in the face. He got down, she hopped up and all is fine in Bondi's world again. I had to give Zavatar a special chin scratch for letting her have her bed back.

I've been asked several times recently about how to get into our FFRC's Chatters facebook page. We welcome you! I know it seems a little weird, because it's a "secret" page, but trust me, when I say we have reasons to do this. But, on the same note, we want you to come aboard! If you want to join, you need to have a "friend" that's already on the chatter's fb page. That "friend" will add you to the page, but it still has to be approved by one of the page's admins. If you do not have a "friend" already on the site, ask a moderator to "friend" you to the chatter's site. That's it! If you have trouble, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Here's a little tidbit about me that I'd love to share! People sometimes ask me why I insist on doing so many thank yous. The answer is common courtesy. YOU have honored FFRC and me by your donation and support and I feel very strongly the need to show my appreciation to YOU by a thank you. I know sometimes I might mess up and miss sending out something, and for that I am sorry. I have been taught by my mom and dad at a young age to always send proper thank yous. So, I do these thank yous to show my gratitude and am honoring my mom and dad at the same time.
We will have BOXES tonight again--we're slowly catching up. And we'll have a stack of envelopes too to open tonight. We also have something kinda cool to show you--it's red and green!
Telo--always the nosy boy--wanting to see what's on the other side of the door!
