Goodness.......where has June gone to?  Hard to believe it's almost July. Steve and I had a nice time on our mini vacation last week--nice to get refreshed.  The first day, two of our kids and 4 grandkids came with us to the giant flea market.  That is always fun family time!

We've had a few adoptions!
Bluster & Carolina--two of our black kittens. These two are very shy. I am fortunate to have a friend who does rescue out of town.  She only offers help to other rescues and FFRC gets 3 "slots" this year with her.  So.......Bluster and Carolina went to her for major TLC and helping them to figure out where their lives are going! She did a couple shy ones last year too for FFRC.  They are still shy but accepting of a hand now, without too much fussing.  They will eventually be placed together. 

Josiah Tomas and Keefer--adopted together on 6/22.  They are doing wonderful! Keefer is now Tucker--he loves the dog!  Josiah T is now Finn--he is very laid back. "They fit in perfect with the family".

Xibowa & Muddles--adopted together on 6/23. Their family was very excited to share their home with them! I just heard this morning that things are going good. Another two wonderful kittens!

Mr. FluffyPants--adopted 6/26 to a family that has a few other cats. Mr. FluffyPans sure got lucky--he was picked out by his new mom and dad.  They got to know him thru a jar of babyfood. He then thought they were the perfect family! 

We have thanks to give---our FFRCNation is so very wonderful!

I am so very sorry to let you know that we lost a kitten last night.  We've been working on little Silvy all week--she had arrived with a URI. She just never kicked it, regardless of antibiotics, meds to help her feel better, sq fluids, syringe feeding, eye medications and lots of TLC.  Such a sweet soul kitten.  I am very sorry she will not grow up and have a family. But, we were her family for a little while. 

Farmyard news:The horses, goat and donkey are all doing great. Their different corrals are nice and green. The feathered friends on the farmyard are doing great. We have an addition of 26 little chickies--a mix of Brahmas, Orpingtons and Road Island Reds.  They will be out and about once they get some growing done! Gertrude, one of the geese sure wants to mother them.  I told her she'd have to wait until they grow abit. Her big webbed feet may be harmful. She is watching over them from the outside of their pen. 

Frankie is doing very well now--eating just fine! Jessie has been napping on my desk recently. It's nice to have cat company while at the desk.  While Jessie is holding her weight fairly well, she is indeed losing muscle tone. But, considering her age, she is doing good. She certainly "bosses" us around........and we do whatever she wants! 

Please don't hesitate to let me know if I've made an error of information or have forgotten to post something. It's been a bit hectic here for me lately but I always aim to get things correct or to fix it.  Thanks. 

Today we will have BOXES at noon. On Weds we will have a Flash Sale at 11:00--this will be a variety of items!
