While Steve and I was at Shipshewana, I was able to purchase a beautiful windchime in his memory by Fran. It will be put up today, in the Angel Garden. I will so enjoy hearing these chimes from my kitchen window. Still miss that boy so much.
I also had some donations for Olaf and Fabio. I simply didn't know what to do and it actually was hard for me to even think about. And then an idea came to me---these Porchies so love the visitors--to sit in their laps and to enjoy their company. So, we bought a beautiful glider bench--visitors can sit there at our table area and hold the Porchies. This bench will last forever as it's made with recycled plastics. A tag will be made with Olaf and Fabio's names on it. A tag will also be made for Big All and put on the new porch area where he loved to be.
And now an update on the dog situation: There were actually two dogs involved in the incident with Olaf and Fabio. Both dogs are now back in their home--one country road behind Power Dam Rd. They are normally never out loose but escaped and caused quite a bit of damage in their time being loose. I am so grateful for our volunteers. For two nights after the incident, we had volunteers here during the night time, standing guard---protecting our Porchies. They had a schedule ready to go on for days. But now that the dogs are confined, that won't be needed. The hearts of these volunteers are tremendous. As hard as the deaths have been to us all, I would like you all to "let this go". It won't do any of us any good to harbor ill thoughts on the dogs or the owner. It's over and hopefully will never ever happen again.
Mama Dandelion Hope is in the main area part of the time. She is doing great---what a sweetie. Her kittens will hopefully be up in the Main Area soon. Cinnamon, Paislie and Helga are up in the Main Area also. You may mistake them for 3 rolly balls but they are indeed kittens! Their tums are very round!
Remember to pre-register for Catathon! It sure helps on the day of Catathon, should you bid on an item. We don't have to get as much information on the phone and that speeds things up! If you pre-register, that doesn't mean you HAVE to bid---it's for just in case you want to! You can pre-register until 5:00 on June 22. .fofrescue.org/catathon-2017/catathon-2017-preregistration

That gives you an opportunity to vote for a rescue of your choice!
