All is well here at the Rescue Center. We also had another adoption! Sadler went to his new home. I've heard from them already and sounds like it's a wonderful bond that's already happened. This is what we love to hear!
As you probably already know, we lost our Chandini directly after her surgery on Friday. Apparently there were some abnormalities in the abdomen which ended up being a factor. These kind of sad events kinda knock the sails from us, but it's part of what happens at a Rescue. Her time here was very short, but during that time, she was well fed, had a heater, was clean and had lots of loving. So....we carry on and will keep on loving them as they arrive. Give your pets a hug--life is never a certain thing.
We had BOXES last night! I so enjoyed it. And I so appreciate you all

Today is our Christmas family day, so this Blog will be short! Besides the joy of Christmas, I am concentrating on the word Positive. I am always the type of person who would rather think in positive tones. It's every person's choice whether we surround ourselves with negative feelings or positive feelings. You viewers/supporters are a big reason for my feeling positive. Your joy, your support, your good thoughts and prayers--they all add up and truly help me to keep myself focused on the good of life. I love this rescue center and will continue it on, with a positive feeling! Thank you for this gift you given to me.
All is fine here. Miss Eltoe is eating great! She is on her way to a little tummy! She was even playing yesterday. Today, little Hark will get his mouth sutures out. A couple more days yet for his shoulder sutures though. Ernest's incisional site looks very good. Little Zata is growing and eating like a 10 pound cat! The general health here is very good, for which I'm so grateful for. Miss Marti is on my desk--her usual morning spot. Her favorite place to nap is across my wrists! Miss Molly is doing awesome. The family that would like to adopt her was here Saturday to visit with her. She likes them!
The Covies were out and about on Friday. With Connie D calling them for supper, all 16 returned. Leonard has fit right in. Today, being it is Sunday, they will again have their door opened and they'll get their run-about. The Porchies continue to do well. Looks like Big Al is once again "stuck" inside! He won't go out--he refuses. He is a smart boy! Walter and him get along great.
If you have an order for us and it has not arrived, please let me know. We do truly want to be 100% correct on our mailings. We realize that we do make mistakes but we keep trying for all to be delivered correctly. Don't hesitate if you have not received your order yet and if it probably should have been there by now. Thanks so much for your orders.
Take care, have a wonderful day, do something nice for someone else--pass on that positive feeling!
