Random Fridays

Most of you are with us when we say that educating the next generation is the best way to help further animal causes. Well, we found this article about a class being offered by the Helen Woodward Animal Center in San Diego CA. Very cool!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
In mom's defense of yesterday's video - Emma would eat until she explodes. Don't believe a word she said about being starved......  MOL


Quill - we would love to send you Miss Emma as a new sisfur. But......

We was not gonna announce it until it was final, which was supposed to be today. Miss Emma has a home. A nice lady saw her picture at the Petco store and filled out an application. She was patiently waiting for Emma to get big enough for surgery....and was supposed to take her home today. However, that darned fungus is screwing up the process. So we have custody of the kid for another 10-14 days.

Jalapeno disapproves of the flashy box
(actually he is a sweet boy but generally gets that look on camera)

Poblano stares in wonder

Serrano lost his ball already

Oh and mom discovered the black pepper boys (haha) actually have a little white on them which should make it a little easier to tell them apart down the road. Serrano has a tiny locket on his chest and Poblano has half a mankini. And of course after the v-e-t visit the boys have shown no symptoms of anything. Mom thinks maybe they just wanted a road trip.

Miss Cleo is moving from our local store to another store where the rescue has adoption cages. She has been available for quite a while and mom doesn't get it, so we are hoping being in a new area will speed things up for her. She is beginning to play which is fun to watch!! Mom went to see her the other day and she was chasing a pink mousie around the cage. Good luck Cleo!!! Mom will still do her adoption, so we will keep you posted.

  19. Purrrrrring that the new stage is the perfect place for Miss Cleo to be the star.

    Give little Miss Emma some time. If she is like a lot of kitties, once she realizes meals are going to be a regular part of her life, she'll calm down a little bit.

  20. We've heard wonderful things about the Helen Woodward Center, though we're not familiar with their humane ed curriculum. The fact they have it, though, is so very encouraging.

    Our shelter has a very successful program that is slightly different in that it isn't on our campus, but rather goes into public schools to teach. We've had requests from all over the US (even Germany!) to share it, so it's launching nationally next month. It's called "No More Bullies!" and it's held in schools (grades 3-5).
    It's based on the idea that children who bully and hurt animals frequently grow up to be people who hurt people. But those who are taught to love and respect and have compassion for animals will be able to take those skills and apply them to all parts of life.

    Sorry for going on - we're just so excited!!

    Emma - we're thrilled you've found a forever home - and not so thrilled about the fungus. ICK.

    Paws crossed for Cleo to find her home soon!
