Why oh Why
do they let da hooman drive ???
I keep having this dream .....
Can I tell you about my
dream and see if you can help me find the person in it ?
Here's how it goes ....
I'm searching and searching
for a store where I can run a Thrift Shop to help bring in money to feed all my
furry friends at Rikki's Refuge ....
I'm searching and searching and walking all the streets in
Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania (that's in Virginia in the USA) ...
I knock and knock ... and
nobody opens the door .... then one person does and says "go way you silly
cat ... you can no afford my rent ... be off with you" .... and I walk and
I walk and I keep knocking and they keep sending me away ... my feets are
getting really sore ....
and I wanna stop ... but I
know I have to help my aminal friends back at Rikki's Refuge ... I've promised
that every one of them ... all 1295 of them ... will always have nums and a
nice doctor to take care of their hurts and their sicks and even icky flea
drops so they no get bites and so they all gets a nice bed to sleep in .... and
I know I must walk and I must knock on doors till .....
this door is opened by a
hooman with the kindest smile ever and they say, "come in you precious
little kitty, why are you out walking the streets and knocking on doors? Are you hungry, do you need a bite to
eat?" And then they give
eleventeen cans of Fancy Feast and while I gobble it all up I explain ...
"You see I have 1295
friends at home, and it's my job to help them, help them to be loved and happy
and fed, and I think a Thrift Store could help me do that, nice people would
give me nice things and more nice hoomans would come and buy the nice things
and they'd be happy and I'd take that nice money and turn it into nice nums and
then my aminal friends would all be happy to."
And this nice hooman smiles
and says, "Well little Opie, I think you've come to the right place!! I have a building here you can have, it's a
little run down, but it's in a good location where lots of people come by. Do you mind having to clean it up a
little? Maybe get some hooman
volunteers to help you paint? I'd be so
happy to donate this building to you!
It belonged to my grandpa and grandma .. but they've gone to Rainbow
Bridge and I don't have much use for it, and nobody seems to want to rent it
now, and I really really need the great big giant tax break I'd get for
donating it to you. What do you think,
would you like this building?"
And I look around!! And I
see the other shops around, all busy with peoples, lots of peoples
shopping. And I see a big open space and
a big front window I can put up purrty pictures of the aminals hoomans will be
helping by shopping in my store ... MY STORE .... MY STORE !!!!
And I jump up and down and I
nosekiss this nice hooman and sit in their lap and purr for the longest time afore
calling mom and telling her to come and sign the papers !!!!" ... can you please help me find that nice
hooman in my dream? Share this with
everybody, pass it around, post it everywhere .... I know my dream is for real and that wonderful wonderful hooman
who wants to help the aminals of Rikki's Refuge for ever and ever is out there
somewhere .... if I just walk long enough ......
Can YOU identify the nice
hooman in my dream who has the store they need anymore? The nice hooman who will help us open a
Thrift Store so we have another way to work to provide care for the
animals? Share my dream with everyone
you know ..... you know the right
building is just sitting there waiting for me to walk in .....

Yikes,
I just heard Lena tell Paul to order $1,000 of canned cat food ... we have
really been numming it up this winter cuz it’s been cold. How much we eat and how much canned is all
dependant of lots of things, and the weather is the biggest. If you could help us out with a few bucks
towards this $1,000 bill, I’d really love you muchly !!! Thank you http://rikkisrefuge.org/donate.php
Love you bunches,
Opie
