Hello to our FFRC friends. I would like to tell you about
Froggy. Our Froggy boy has passed away.
So so sad about this. This morning at 4:15, he was fairly responsive. By 4:30, he was not—rather in an unconscious
state. We are all aware that Froggy has been having some bad days in the last 2
weeks. I’ve talked to Dr, Darcy and she also realized that things have not been
going so good for Froggy. Mid morning, Froggy semi-woke up, but quickly slipped
back in another unresponsive state. We could not ask anymore of him. His time
here was filled with love. I truly felt he gave his all and that’s all that
could be asked. It’s a hard decision, but one that sometimes has to be made. It’s
having the heart to choose what is best for this special boy, rather than what
our needs are of him. He taught us how
to pay attention to his needs—we understood him. He responded to us because he
loved us and I know that he knew we all loved him. We knew taking him in, that
due to his severity of CH, that other things may be “off” with his brain. But,
it didn’t matter. We wanted to care for him, wanted to show him he mattered. I thank you all for caring about him. You helped
us make his life good. These deaths are
so hard on all of us. There’s no denying that it hurts the heart….and in a very
big way. The beauty about our hearts is that we can continue to love again.
Love is a renewable resource. I believe with my whole heart that Froggy was
meant to be here. It wouldn’t have mattered if it was 1 day or 10 years, we
would’ve taken him with a glad heart. He needed us and we were ready to love
him. That’s what this Rescue Center does. So, please, it’s ok to mourn this
loss, but it’s ok to love again too. Love all those that come here. Love them
and know that we will do our bestest to make their lives happy. Thank you for being a part of Froggy’s life
here.
It’s official. Pania is now known as Pania FFRC. There is no
way I would feel comfortable adopting her out. Her one “eye” that is left is
always a problem---we watch it and check on it always. It’s quite possible some
day that one too will have to be removed. And her UTI’s are something that we
watch daily. There’s many “levels” of what we do to help her with this. So…..Pania
girl is staying here at FFRC.
The two new kitties have names. The little brown tiger boy
is now known as Wigglez. The little girl brown tiger/torti is now known as
Squigglez. These two young’uns spend the
nights in Dodger’s Pen and now out during the day. Their energy level is very
high and so playful. It’s so cute—when it’s nap time, they find each other and
sleep away!
We had BOXES Monday evening. We appreciate you!

We will have a Flash Sale on Thursday. Be ready to have some
fun! It’s at 8:00 pm, with Ellen, Megan and Gina doing the sale. We will focus
a lot on all the different kinds of scarves we have and the handwarmers! Think
Christmas. We will also have another
Flash Sale on Sunday at 2:00. This one
will be done by Mich. She will show a lot of our different Christmas items. TONIGHT we will have BOXES at 5:30 with the
FLASH SALE at 6:00. Thank you for all your support! Busy, fun times ahead.
I would also like to let you know that we had two cats
returned this week. Many of you will remember them—Aubie and Hillsborough. The
family could no longer keep them. They have already been re-adopted to a
different family and they get to stay together! They spent 3 days in the back
Thumper’s Room. They were well taken care of and I believe they will be happy
in this new home!
