Farewell Francine

It was with much sadness and no surprise that we said goodbye to Francine this morning. She was one of the oldest kitties at Sanctuary House - probably 16 or 17 years old, and for many of those years she had lived here. She was never fond of being in a large group of cats, but in the last few years had become very attached to her cat friend Marla.

Francine loved watching the birds or perhaps she was supervising them - she was very intent on her "work" and did not appreciate being moved away from the window nor any person who caused her to move!

Francine had definite routines and waited impatiently if I happened to be late with her breakfast. She had absolutely no use for being held or petted by a human, but last night she purred when I rubbed her head. . . a sign, I'm sure, that she forgave my shortcomings as a human being.

See you at the Rainbow Bridge, sweet kitty.

Wish List Wednesday

Yes, here we are to Wednesday again, the best day for wishes, so Sister Mary asked me to write about our Wish List . Canned cat food is right at the top of things we really need this week, and then paper towels, and horse treats (horse treats are not really a NEED, but the horses think they are, and we like to keep them happy!). Thank you for thinking of us. Love, Gus PS Sister Mary did not give me a puzzle for this message . . . please let us know if you want to have puzzles in the blog - I think they are a fun break to my reading and writing and sleeping and eating and playing, but I wonder if anyone else likes them too?

Good Morning!

Yum, yum - time for breakfast! And the sun is coming up, too! All of us - even the chickens - hope you are having a wonderful day.

Baby chicks and diamonds in the tree

Our Board member Aimee Lauer brought four little chicks this morning - they were rescued from Craig's List. As far as we can tell, two Easter Eggers and two Legbars. This weekend is a strange mixture of weather - rain, wind, and sometimes moments of sun. The sunlight in the tree this morning made the wet leaves and branches look as though they were decorated with diamonds. We are hoping and praying that Hurricane Florence will miraculously weaken, although current maps show East Coast landfall and predictions are that the storm may be a category 4. Stay tuned . . .
