We have water! We have water! Yes, just this morning the pipes unfroze in Thumper's Room and the little bathroom. The slow drip is on, so we don't refreeze. This is the plan--the contractor that builds for us was here yesterday. They will remove the water lines from between the walls and put them on the inside. That should eliminate this problem! The plumber was also here yesterday--he put all new "innards" in the toilet of Kitty Kastle. He also snaked the sewer line with a 108' snake--quite a ways! So...we shall see what happens. You'll see the plumber still off and on today and tomorrow. In checking on things, we found the toilet in the house was "sinking"--yes, sinking and very much needs to be fixed. That is now on the Moss agenda. Right now, it's still cold outside, but the sun is shining!

The new toy Undercover Mouse is an awesome toy--the cats love it. This mornng, we had it on and there were 15 cats checking it out. Derecho gets all excited--he loves to catch it! Paddy Cake and Obadiah put on quite a show chasing it last night! 

Doce continues to do great. He was discovered INSIDE the food dish yesterday. Yes....that little rascal was holding out on me. He was crunching and munching that dry food down like a pro! But, he still likes his formula too! What a sweetie he is. His purrer works really good!

We've heard from the family that adopted Jaina and Dolan--all is fine and happy there. Also heard from Basil's owner. He's doing good as well. Always nice to hear these things.

Micah is out and about now. He's pretty much staying in the front office, but he goes in and out of Dodger's Pen on his own. He is so handsome. He's feeling more comfortable. He sure loves looking out the window. 

Tizzie--a beautiful black cat, ready to be adopted!
