A little green here and a little green there.  The Paddy Boys have raided the paint cabinet of the green paint.  I found out thru King Derecho that they are/were planning on doing some painting.  When asked about it to the Paddys, their answer was "don't know anything about that".  But....I'm wondering.........   We better all be on guard!

I am so very grateful for these gifts to FFRC.  We were low on Clorox/lysol wipes---and they have appeared during Boxes.  We were low on Kitten Fancy Feast--and some has also appeared at Boxes.

Tomorrow is the Paddy's St. Paddy's Day. They are very excited as they know they get to wear their fancy hats! I thank you all for the gold coin $5's coming in. This event ends at 9:00 am tomorrow.  There's still time to send in your $$ for gold coins! This event supports the care and needs of 2018 baby season! 

Our sweet Catmandude has gained his angel wings. He passed this morning early. This was very difficult. His left rib cage was severely deformed, interfering with his lungs and heart. Such a difficult thing. He will be very missed but knowing he is now comfortable brings peace. 

His brother and 2 sisters will very soon be here in the Main Area--will go to Cat's Corner Room first. Ramsay will have some sharing time with them for night time sleeping. Then Emma Jane will come down on the floor in the Back Thumper's Room.  The 4 babies will go into the blue pool. This "changing of the cats" will happen today.

Hensley is at the vet's office today. He needs some dental work done.  A while ago he had 2 K9's that needed removed as they were fractured. Normally the other two K9's don't cause any trouble but in his case, they are a botheration.  These two teeth keep poking his gum and causing soreness. So, today they will be removed. And he will be a happier Hensley!

Fiesta Asta Sparkle--her name has grown--is doing great. She is starting to meet and greet people at the door. She's turning on her charm! We're still working on coaxing Whitney and Jillian to stay in the Main Area. They like to float back to the Welcome Room at times. Seems like Annetta has decided the Welcome Room is her domain. She loves to be petted by the visitors. 

Take care and have a good Thursday.
