And it's Trucker's birthday! He is now 2 years old! That sweet boy has taught me alot in his 2 years. He is a boy with pure determination. And with that determination, fun and great things can happen. He is a happy boy and he KNOWS that he is well loved by many, especially by his mama!
And Tabitha just had a birthday too--she is now 4 years old. She still loves her papertowels and jumping thru the open door of June's Room to spend some alone time in there. It's her private get-away! A real sweetie girl.
Eagle Rare Life begins again on 5/31. This year we'd like to participate from the beginning, although FFRC came in, in the top 30 overall last year. There's already a story and picture ready to be submitted. We'll keep you posted more about this soon.

Many of you may know that our little kittens in the back Thumper's Room has had a rough week. They picked up a virus--some were only slightly sick while others were very sick. I believe I can safely say though that they are all doing much much better the last 2 days. Starting on Thursday, we gave fluids to those that were dehydrated, soreness meds to all of them and also antibiotics to all, including the mamas. We were also syringe feeding all that needed it. I am thrilled to say that all are eating on their own now and with gusto! That is so so nice to see! And today they are playing hard again. Love these babies!
Peggy's foster kittens are here today. They are doing great--busy kittens--eating good, playing lots!
Hensley had a rough day yesterday---he had another major seizure. This makes 2 of them now in 10 days. So.........per our vet, he is now on PB's along with Farrah. We are on high alert to observe him. He's napping right now beside me---such a great boy.
We had an adoption! Tryphosa found herself a new mama--Dewitty from our chat. Tryphosa seems to be adjusting very well and is starting to make friends with her new house cat friend. She "worked" Dewitty ever so sweetly!
We are working hard on Catathon. Jenni was here all day yesterday taking pictures of the different baskets. This is a week long project for her. We are very grateful for her taking a week off of work to do this for Catathon.
