Tuesday, December 11

The definition of a friend: FFRC's circle of people that surround this organization, which includes family, volunteers, personal friends, lurkers, chatters, mods, admins and all supporters. Please know how appreciative I am of each and every one of you. .I would like to extend an extra thanks to my family. They mean the world to me and I know they love me and stand by what I do here at FFRC.

This organization is based on truth, God's love and being open to the needs of others--animals and humans alike. Someone asked me about the cam here in the rescue center, if it isn't taxing to be "on" all the time. The answer to that is NO. The reason? Because, what you see on the cam, is what and who we are. We lead our ordinary lives, just as we are, in view of all. We're not rehearased, so there's no "practicing". We are who we are, just as you see. We are ordinary people doing what we love. Honesty because that's how we live our lives. Passion because that's what we have for what we are doing. Compassion because that's been instilled us by our elders. We are as you see us.

Our visitors, Laura and her mom Belinda made it home safely yesterday. They live in Indiana. We also had another visitor yesterday--Jenny from nearby Wauseon.We enjoy having people come and visit!

We had an adoption yesterday! Frith went to his new home. I've already heard from his new mama--she says this is for sure his forever home! She loves him and it sounds like Frith has adjusted quickly. We also have several other cats on hold. Rudy (will be leaving Friday about 4:30), Graciela (will be leaving in the spring), FiFi will be leaving 12/21, and Penn and Teller who will be leaving 1/17.

We had BOXES last night. Your support is so important to us. The cats are cheering for you!

Dove's foot is better this morning! The redness and swelling is less today! On to the healing phase. So happy. Pania is becoming braver too--she actually came out and shared a breakfast with others. Our newbie Gent has made friends with everyone! We had a little bit of a snow dusting this morning. So pretty. Happy birthday to Mayor Anony.

Betz--soooo comfortable!
