Oh what a beautiful day !!!!
Sunny ... light floaty clouds ... birds singing .... light breeze .... so
beautiful !!!!!
I hope you'll join us
Saturday at Re-Tail for a very special Cats vs Dogs event ....
Cats vs Dogs is April each
year and it's when the winner will take over the ruling position at Rikki's
Refuge for the next year. I need your vote ....
I've never had dogs so close
on my heals before ....
They've even gotten ahead of
me several times lately ...
YIKES ... but then a
wonderful person always jumps in and tosses in VOTES on MY behalf !!!!
so Please
It's also a very important
time - it's our spring fundraiser to keep Rikki's running till summer .... It
only takes a $1 a day per animal for us all to eat and be taken care of ....
and that's pretty cheap ... but when you think about almost 1300 of us living
here ... well .... gulp ... those numbers get big. And it's all MY job to keep
us happy, fed and healthy ... and I NEED your help .....
Please , that's ME, Opie your little orange buddy, to keep running the
refuge for another year .... you just click right here and toss as many votes
as you like in my hat !!! http://rikkisrefuge.org/feedme?purpose=CATS
