How ya doin? Just
popping my head in to check on you !!!!
Oh today is an exciting day !!!!! It's Friday. And it's
August. Welcome to August on Planet
Earth !!!! What a great place to
be!!! Can't think of any place I'd
rather be !!!
And tomorrow is ....
nope ... not Caturday ... well it is .. but it's Opieday !!!! It be my birthday !!!! I be ONE year old !!! My number ONE birthday !!!! I be so excited !!!!
And today be excited day too !!!! It be poucon day at Dollar General. Yeahh today!!
Friday. they always do it Saturday
before. This week they be trying
Friday, is that cool or what ????
Now you can be getting poucon too and here's how you get
your very own .... go here
and over on the right a big down you'll see $5 Poucon, click
and you can rint your own pucon !!! I
hope it be working on your printer, I can't get it on mine, booo.
But I got something even better!!! I gots a GreatGrandPa who likes the candy. I smelled it and it's kind of icky but he
think it smell like catnip. And
GreatGrandPa, he like a his catnip. So
he goes to the Dollar General store and he looks and he looks and thinks about
one kind and then about another ....
and then he pick one to buy. But
he eats it all up !!!! So he goes back
and gets another one.
This week he gotted FIVE hooman catnip snacks !!! Yeahhh lots of nummy eating for him. But better than nummy eating he gotted $5
off poucons for Opie too !!!! And he
gived them all to me !!! I say,
GreatGrandPa, you no wanna buy 25 candies and get 5 FREE? And he say no Opie, what you think I am, you
think I am pig, I am no pig, I can no eat 25 candies!!!! So he gived me the poucons!!!
That's $25 I can save for Rikki's!!!! Is that good???? Buts you know how it is, they say you gots to have money to make
money so I gots to have $125 so I can save $25. This week - cuz so many of you be so good to all us aminals at
Rikki's - wez doing pretty good on most da cleaning supplies.
What I need the mostest of right now, right this day, be
paper towels. Now some people they ask,
why you no use rags and wash them and reuse them. Well I can tell you why.
It's cuz of what's called sanitation.
Yup, that's what it's cuz of. If
da hoomans cleaned up the goo and da ick with da rags, they have to be washing
it and it be sitting round in a pile till it can go in da wash and it can be
containment. Containment is bad you
know. It means germs. Germs is bad itty bitty bugs, they be so
small you can't even see them. Even
smaller than the bad fleas. And the
contaminant germs they be wanting to
get inside of you. Is that gross or
what? But that's what they do and then
they make you sick.
Yeah just thinking about contaminant bugs inside of me make
be wanna gack. And if a hooman cleaned
up something gross and then didn’t wanna have another rag to wash they might
... just might ... be lazy ... I know most my hoomans no do this .. but
somebody might ... and they might use it again and them one of those
contaminant bugs just might get loose and oh ick I can no think about this or
my breakfast gonna end up being something that needs paper towels to clean
up. But that’s why we think da paper
towels is better for us to use. Clean
up and the icky gunk go in trash and go away.
So that be good.
And do you know how many paper towels I can buy for
everybody with $125?
I tell you. Hang on
.... I be back.

What you be doing on August 17th? Did you know that’s Black Cat Appreciation
Day and August is Black Cat Appreciation Month?
Do you know what we try to do during Black Cat Appreciation
Month?
We try to dispel bad and silly superstitions about black
cats.
Do you know why?
Cuz lots of black cats die in shelters without even getting
a chance. they are the least likely to
be adopted and so the least likely to even make it to the adoption room at many
shelters.
Why?
Superstition. That’s
all.
Under their coat theyz exactly like the rest of us!! Purry and nice. So adopt a black cat today and find out for yourself!!! AND join us for Black Cat Appreciation Month
please. Join the event http://www.facebook.com/events/131387290335571/
the more members we have -- FREE to join - the more media support.
Last year we got support around the world with over 35,000
members. It was picked up by radio, TV
and shelters everywhere. The number of
lives saved was countless. Shelters the
world over worked to dispel the notion that black cats are bad and helped them
find homes in record numbers. Please
join and help us again this year.
Oh oh oh oh and more news ..... Auction coming up ... yes it is .... If plans go as plans got made ... on line auction opens on Aug 11th. All goodies need to be in by Monday Aug 6th
