We went from cool temps to hot summer. We're suppose to reach the 90's today. I saw the ducks and geese in their tubs of water this morning taking baths. They also have access to the back water (at end of property, from the island) so they can go swimming. The horses, donkey and goats love being out in the corrals with the grass.
We had two adoptions on Friday. Gisela and Thane went to the same home together! Happy new family! They went right into their carrier like they just knew there was a home waiting for them!
We saw Guntherie on Friday. He came in for a few remaining treatments. His new mama so loves him. Guntherie is definitely queen of the house! She sure looks great.
Little Zorro looks great. His sleeping pen is still in the front Thumper's Room but for most of the day, he's out and about. He's still on antibiotics and soreness meds, plus leg soaks. While we are being optimistic and he does bear some weight on it, the leg that had the string tied to it is rather stiff and hard and discolored. On June 9th, Dr. Darcy will take a look. In the meantime, we continue his treatments which includes many hugs a day!
Nyota continues to improve daily. She is growing some fur back on her face! Three of her paws are starting to look more normal. The fourth paw is definitely healing now. One of the toenail beds will probably have to be removed. This can be done when she is spayed eventually.
We had BOXES on Friday afternoon! It was wonderful. And we are so very grateful!

We tried and we tried and we tried. But....Miracle was called to the Rainbow Bridge. These things are so sad for us. The meds he received from his mama's surgery may indeed have affected him. But........the alternative was to not try at all. And that, we couldn't have done. In the meantime, he had a foster mama that let him nurse, he had volunteers that continued with his feedings and he had foster sisters and brothers that kept him warm and snuggly. We shall miss him. I thank you all for loving him thru the cam.
Today starts our Fun-Raiser! Check out the video on the cam site and also the pics and descriptions on the chatters page. There are 8 items to choose from. This money is very much needed to help us pay on our medical company that we purchase many things from and to get our veterinary bill widdled down. We will have BOXES on Weds. at 4:00 and the fun-raiser will be right after that! And of course, we'll have consolation prizes too!
SonJa is now 100% done with the descriptions of all the Catathon items! She has close to 50 pages of descriptions! Wow! And today, Jen starts with taking pictures--she's working her way thru the baskets first! Everything will all come together! We are excited. Mark your calendar--it's June 24, Sunday.
We have been leaving the doors open from the back Thumper's Room, front Thumper's Room and also the door leading into the Main Area in the early morning. We're trying to encourage Charlie, Mandela and Harvest to come on up! All 3 have been up for minor excursions.
Take care and enjoy this holiday Sunday/Monday!
