Round the Refuge
You all be here Saturday and Sunday this weekend. Lots of good things to do. The framing is all done on Rabbit Rotunda II so now it’s just the net roofing and if YOU come help it could all get done!!! Please Please come and help!!
Also Saturday and maybe Sunday too, Animal Artists!! Come and help me finger paint. Help Nanny Hoof paint!! Lots of fun.
Saturday is my birthday and I’m 13 years old!!! A real teenager!!! I’m so happy!!! You think I’ve been trouble up till now? Well you just wait to see what’s coming up next!!!
You don’t go believing nothing Jan’s been telling people either. I heard her tell people it’s mom’s birthday. Well Jan has it all wrong. Mom’s too old to have birthdays. She’s like almost 400 years old in cat years and that’s just too much. So it’s ME, your dear lovable very hungry, Vincent D. Cat who’s having the birthday this weekend.
And you know what I want!!! I want to win Cats vs Dogs and I want to be #1 in Virginia in the Shelter Challenge and I want YOU to visit me and I want Fancy Feast!!!!
If you have a lawn mower or a weed whacker that works please bring them out and help with the mowing this year. We have one push mower that is sort of working. It keeps cutting off and has to cool down to get it going again. And we have NO week whacker. It got busted cuz somebody put gasoline with no oil in it. Booooo.
Well I gotta go, it’s really nice out and I’m gonna go lay in the sun. I really hope you come visit this weekend!! See you later.

April 30, 2011 SATURDAY
BE AN ANIMAL ARTIST ASSISTANT - doing painting with the animals. We have paints and canvases and picture mats and Christmas ornaments ready to go! Oh, and lots of paper towels! It's going to be messy, but fun. Wear your painting clothes and painting shoes, and let's paint with the animals! The chickens, the pigs, the goats, the dogs, the cats, the sheep, and India the cow! Let's find out how artistic they are! From 11:00 until we are done. We need 2 or 3 people to help with each animal that paints. We will also need a photographer to capture it all! Photos of the animal painting will help with making "certificates of authenticity" to go along with each painting. We hope to have the paintings on display for sale at various locations, and will also sell them online. Please RSVP to me, so that I will have an idea of how many supplies to bring. Melissa Felts dogslife24@comcast.net PS: painting with the animals will be postponed in the event of rain on April 30th. YARD SALE - the yard sale scheduled for the end of May as well as all collectiond ates for it has been cancelled. If you have a location you can run a Yard Sale for us - please let us know!!

Music and Motion
Something’s going on around here. I keep hearing disturbances at Bovine Boulevard. Last night there was strange noises in the chicken house and when mom went to check it out all the vegetarian animals were in there whispering. I’m getting worried. Something’s up out there ......
Because I Love YOU
Hoping you’re coming to visit on my
Birthday - Saturday, April 30th
Love,
Vincent
