Thursday, March 21

I'd like to say to everyone--thank you very much for making this birthday a very special day. It means a lot to me. I treasure your friendship and your support. It's amazing how many friends we can have--I love it! Thanks from the bottom of my heart. And may I say--whenever your birthday is--hope it's a happy one! 

You won't believe this, but Cozarelii just jumped up 3 1/2 feet to a cat shelf and turned around (very wobbly) and then laid down and is looking about--very still and calm and very pleased with himself. Made me gasp--but he's so happy being up so high. 

Today is the day I go to Fort Wayne to take our kittens (minus Sprint) to the veterinary tech school. Because of this, my morning time is very very short, so this blog will be short. But, I had to give thanks to you all for the boxes and envelopes from last night. I am grateful to you.

Please excuse me if I haven't gotten everything 100% correct! The bottom line is though, I am very grateful for you all. You make a huge difference to me and this Rescue Center.  

Cozarelii is still on his shelf, looking quite smug! The kittens are running crazy. Sprint continues to eat good and we've been petting Joyful more and more! Solee is here beside me playing with her most loved toy--the coil springs. She really goes after them. Very nice to watch her play. Little Whisk was on the cat wheel yesterday, really making it spin. Pushkiss and Pushkins are doing great--like they've never been gone. 

Vote, vote, vote!!  Thanks!

Static--such a happy boy.
