Weds. July 8, 2014
Your messages to me in regards to Milford have been received
and rests with me. The friendship and support you have given me is so
uplifting. I won’t lie—Milford’s death has shook me. I think the main reason is
that this little fella didn’t ask for anything in his life except to be
loved. From the moment he was picked up
from being tossed out of the car, he was loved.
I just wanted it to be a whole lot longer. He is greatly missed. I have
had numerous cats and kittens coming up and sitting in my lap, rubbing and
being so sweet. It’s amazing the love
these cats can give. And it’s also amazing the love and support you all give
me. I will never ever take that for granted. I thank you for the fb messages,
PM’s and the emails.
Updates: our Hamlin Hope is a wonderful boy. He is coming
out more and more and is enjoying the attention. He’s eating good. I’m
surprised, even with his severe tremors and chin tuck, he still is agile. And I think he likes being here. We also have Sadie. She is “loosening up”. Remember, most of her life has been in a pen.
I can tell beyond a doubt that she is enjoying the freedom of being out and
making those decisions herself as to what she wants to do. Time will help!
All the surgeries from Monday are recovered. These kittens
are wonderful and never slow down. Appetites are good and energy levels are
high…..very high! Thanks to Joyce D. for providing pizzas on Monday.
Remember, we have a special adoption coming up. Tease,
tease. I can give you another hint. It
is NOT Emma Jo. The list of “is nots” is growing.
We have thanks to give, from BOXES and PayPals. I so
appreciate you all.

The Covies are doing great—still out and about 2-3 times a
week. They love it. The Barnies are also doing great. They love the tall straw
bale piles. And the Porchies…they have now claimed the Shelter House as their
afternoon nap place! All are feeling good.
We will have BOXES Weds. evening. Let’s start at 5:30, but
know we may have to be flexible. We possibly may have an adoption late
afternoon.
Walter is wonderful and doing super. He is on minimal meds
and we have already seen a decrease in his circling. He seems very happy. Milo
is now out and about in the Main Area. He’s explored every inch and seems very
comfortable.
Thank you for “giving me space” right now. I just needed a
bit of time off. I love this Rescue Center with a passion—just have to regroup
again then I’ll be ready to go. Love this place so much and the kitties and
cats and volunteers to stay down too long. Thanks for understanding.
