My Favorite Quote, Today
Make others happy and you’ll automatically be happy!
You think I’m kidding? If you’re sitting around worrying about what YOU don’t have, and sad cuz you think somebody don’t love YOU - get out there and give something to somebody who needs it. Give a meal to a shelter animal. Or give some love to somebody. Every town has shelter animals who’d love a hug and some love.
I promise you - it WILL make you happier too!!!!! You know what they say about you get 10x what you give! So give the love!!! Get the love!!!!
Round the Refuge
What a great and warm day yesterday!!!! Billy and mom worked on the cat runs. OH NO - lots of new construction is going to be needed to make it really secure and sound. They have a system - let’s see if it’s gonna work!!! Sure hope so!!! We want everything secure for all kinds of snow and ice so this stops being a problem. 2011 is the year to fix the problems!!!
Oh yikes, mommey did a big boo boo. Blame her. It’s always my fault about what happened to the puter. This time it’s mommey and it’s all her fault!!! She was messing with flickr and did a boo boo and it messed up all the addresses of the photos and now the old blog entries don’t show the pictures right. Bad mommey. I’m gonna not let her have no Fancy Feast till she fixes that.
But it did make the Flick page look nicer!!! Have you looked at my pictures lately? http://www.flickr.com/photos/rikkis_refuge/
