Joy Joy
Joy !!!!!!
I pooped all on my own today !!!! No help from nobody. Just
me. I did it all by self !!!!! Yippie Yahoooo..... Not a big one. Like an inch
and half. Very very solid, but not rock hard !!!! Are you proud of me?
It be a
bit cold out there today !!!!
Brrrr. I say my fur is good, cept where they shave it off on
my belly for ultrasound. Mom say dew on grass, 50 degrees, you be inside Vin
man. I say you make me mad mom, I gonna howl !!!!
I got my nose out door and ‘scaped .... yikes it really cold and wet .... I turned
tail and scooted right back in ..... OK
maybe I stay in and listen to mom today !!!!
So how was
your wonderful Saturday
only one week before my Birthday Saturday???? I hope it was furtastic!!!!
My day was really good!!!! We were scared at first that it might not be so
good. My old beagle dawggie Victor was real sick, his belly was swollen up and
he had trouble breathing. He has bad bad heart problems and is on meds for that
and had been doing pretty good.
Mom left me home with Lena, who made me sit in warm water
and get a belly massage till I pooped. Still hard as rock. Mom says she's gonna
make me eat a whole tube of laxatone 2x day. I tell her I be spitting it in her
hair and see how she like that.
Mom was really worried that Victor was going to the Rainbow
Bridge, but nice doc said, OH I can fix !!!! And she drained lots of fluids off
his belly and adjusted his meds. Paws crossed it works for quite a while now
!!!! He sure is feeling fine!
The sun came out in the afternoon and it was really nice!!!!
I ate lots of Fancy Feast.
A new lady Heather started working today, so she and Philip
who started earlier this week are doing really good. And a nice young man Jonathan is starting too!! This helps make things lots easier for
everybody!!!!
Some silly people came and wanted to "adopt"
chickens. Mom explained that our animals aren't allowed to be adopted to be
"production animals". They said then WHAT are they for? Really
couldn't understand just letting hundreds of chickens have a happy chicken
life. You mean you bother to FEED them when you don't get anything from them?
Then they thought it would be nice if we donated some of the animals for 4H. I
was sending mom "cool it, remember LOVE" vibes cuz she seemed to be
getting upset explaining over and over. Somebody else coming in the gate let
them follow on in. That's the kind of reason we keep locked up!!!!
I gotted more Fancy Feast in the MAIL !!!! THANK YOU THANK
YOU THANK YOU --- Amazon doesn't put names inside so I don't know who to thank
purrsonally !!!!
Mom and me went shopping, but we didn't go to the fancy
feast store. Did you know there are stores who don't even HAVE any fancy
feast??? Isn't that awful? I wonder how they stay in business. But mom had
coupons for $5 off on $25 and she got laundry soap and paper towels and
cleaners and that kind of icky gunk. Really kind of useless stuff. You can't
even eat it. She do weird things like that you know.
And guess what happened while I was driving home? Our truck
turned over 100,000 miles !!!!!! Isn't that exciting??? That's like a really
long and far way you know. It's long enough to buy 1 million cans of Fancy
Feast !!!!!
Oh and I got a real exciting bit of news ..... I'm not
allowed to tell or I get disqualified. But oh it's so exciting. Soon I can let
you know all about it !!!! I'm so happy !!!!!
Uncle Bob Wallace came and mowed lots and lots of grass.
Thank you Bob !!!!! And he be so nice. He even bring lunch samiches for da
hoomans. It don't got no Fancy Feast inside so I don't try to take mom's. But
she say yum yum yum !!!!
Mr Turkey and Mr Peacock were arguing over the affections of
the hens. The hens all think they both really stupid. Too bad birds can no go to
Speuter Clinic. They'd be happier if they didn't have to worry about all that
attention stuff!!!!
Did you go to the Speuter Clinic? I did and I'm glad, it
makes me can think about cool things, like having friends like you, instead of
just thinking about dem girl kitties all the time!!!! It be real good !!!! You
should try it !!!!
Let's see, is that it?? Oh James came out and did a really
long acupressure session on me. He's taking some higher level courses and the
class is using me as an example. He put fire in my belly and cleansed my blood
and WOW I feel good and am scooting all over today !!!!! Uh Hu.
Oh and did I tell you I ated the Fancy Feast? Lots of em.
And two eggs. I wanna go outside after dark and mom no let me. You know we got
to get our paws into the manufacturing factories. They could make things
different, like lids on cans and door knobs and keys to start trucks and all
that good things, they could make them to no need opposable thumbs. If nothing
needed opposable thumbs to work, then we could really rule the world and no
have to worry about keeping hoomans around all the time!!!! Wouldn't dat be
nice?
Oh Daddy Fred, I sorry about your flat tire, but don't you
be complaining to me that you're limping around on one of them small donut things
on your left rear. Dat be more then I got there and I don't be complaining, now
do I!!!!

Kathy had
an exciting life saving day !
Kathy tells me: I found 2 baby raccoons, eyes still not
open. Flies had been laying eggs in their mouths which were all full of that
yellow gook. I thought they were dead until one moved slightly. Of course I found
them late in the day and none of the rehabbers were answering their phone.
(Most did call back eventually). Kimberly in Culpeper was going to take the
babies even though she doesn't do raccoons, but Kaylee called before we left
and she ended up taking them. If you have any extra Rubbermaid bins (assorted
sizes) she would like some. She cuts a big square hole in the lids and tapes
screening on top.
HEY FRIENDS - got any of those extra rubbermaid
containers? I can pass them on to
Kaylee.

and family join me in raising $150 for a good cause!
Hello, and thanks for checking out my Birthday Wish! http://wishes.causes.com/wishes/461183?bws=fb_event_description
For my birthday on April 27th, I'm asking my friends and
family for a special gift: help me raise $150 for Rikki's Refuge.
I chose Rikki's Refuge because They Enable homeless, sick
and Unwanted Animals to find comfort and compassion in a safe place..
Please consider giving to my Birthday Wish, and together we
can make the world a better place. If you can't give now, I'd really appreciate
if you'd share this with your friends.
I'm asking for $10, or as much as you can afford.
Thanks so much,
Pleshette

Winning

in Haslett, Michigan writes in:
Hey Vincent, for our dance competition this weekend, there
is a banner contest. The winner of the banner contest gets $100 donated to
their charity.
Our banner - even if we don't win it was fun working on it.
Around the edges are prints (suppose to be paws) made by the team members
(kids). If we win the banner contest it's $100 extra for our charity.
And oh . . . . I thought this was adorable . . .
I sat all the girls down and told them about our pick of a
charity, and told them all about Rikki's Refuge (I had my t-shirt on). One girl
said "can we take a field trip there?". I said "it's in
Virginia" (we're in Michigan). She said "can't we just go to
Nationals in Virginia so we can take a field trip there?"
Vincent: I think that’s adorable too !!!! I sure wish you all could come !!!!
Can you spread the cat litter voting around please. It's an every day vote and they sent an email that they have 77,000 votes and will close it and send us the litter when they get 100,000 votes !!!
