GOOD MORNING GOOD NEWS ---- April 11, 2017
April is Cats vs Dogs
.....
If YOU haven't cast YOUR vote
yet ...... please HURRY !!!!
Now, Let's hear from our
candidates.
I'm on the ball, always one
step ahead of the game, and that's why I brought the Easter Bunny and Egg
Hunting to my small hooman friends a whole week early !!!!! I love having events for my small hooman
friends !!!!! VOTE
CATS and you'll keep
seeing these events !!!! Opie
If you got somefin to eat,
I'll be right there trying to get a taste !!!!! Don't you want me to lick YOUR face?
Oh geesh, Obie .... you dawg .....
I make sure my hooman friends
get to meet ALL of us at Rikki's Refuge .....
I share and share alike ... well, except my Fancy Feast maybe .... but I five equal time to all my furry and
feathered friends .... I don't hog time
.... except at the food bowl ..... I
want our visitors to meet everyone of every species so they understand the hard
work we do here and how many critters I'm responsible for feeding each and
every day. And I can only do that with
YOUR HELP !! Please VOTE
CATS !!! Opie
Look at ME look at ME
.... come for a visit and I'll be right
there by your side .... you do come to
see ME don't you? VOTE
DOGS !!! Obie
Up close and purrsonal
!!!! That's what I offer YOU !! Every tour every day .... I make sure you get to really know all about
who lives here. This is Madison, he was
so skinny somebody called animal control and his owner was ordered to get him
medical attention or put him down. And
he was just gonna kill him off. Well I
let Madison come to Rikki's. And I
called our wonderful livestock vet to come out and visit him. And you know what I found out? Madison wasn't sick, that's not why he was
skinny. He was skinny cus he was in a
small muddy area and he didn't have enough food ... he was starving. I asked
you for green paper to trade for his doc and to trade for lots of good
food. And YOU listened !! And that is why Madison is alive today. You cared.
You made a difference ..... and
if YOU VOTE FOR CATS .... we'll
continue doing this great work together.
Madison is loosing his winter
coat now that it's warming up ... it's kind a funny looking ... he's loosing it
in areas and not very even. But that's
ok .... no matter what you look like
.... WE LOVE YOU AT RIKKIS REFUGE !!! VOTE
CATS !!! Opie
Oh.. uggghhh get me outa here .... ickkk Obie ... you ARE a DOG !!! One more reason to VOTE CATS !!! Opie
I have a very important public
service announcement. Please listen up.
Animals are NOT toys
..... you don't "get" animals
for Easter or any holiday or ever for a gift.
Animals are living, breathing, thinking, caring critters .... and they ALL need lots of care and food and
to see the vet ..... and they ALL poop
.... so don't go getting a animal when
what you really want is a toy. Get a
toy. That's why they make toys.
Please don't buy Chicks or
Ducks or Bunnies for Easter ..... and
I'll tell you why. Do YOU know what
happens to them a few weeks, maybe a month or two, after Easter? If they haven't died cus folks didn't know
how to take care of them, or didn't understand that any babies are fragile and
get hurt or killed easy .... then they
probably get dumped somewhere.
Yup .... couple weeks after Easter I start getting
the phone calls .... HELP Opie
.... can you take a duck or a chick or
a rabbit?
And you know what? Cus YOU are such a kind and loving person
and cus YOU listen when I tell you I need money to save a life ...... I can say YES ... I'll take the poor duck or
a chick or a rabbit and let them live a wonderful life.
Just another reason .... TWO
reasons to VOTE
CATS !!! I provide you with public service announcements
.... and I help YOU save lives
!!!! Opie
We endorse Opie and we urge
YOU to VOTE for CATS !!! We've seen it
first paw. Opie saves lives. With YOUR help, Opie saved us. Our hooman mom died and we had no place to
go. We're not young little kittens,
we've been around ..... and we wanted to stay around and stay together. Opie welcomed us into his home and Opie
makes sure we get two great meals a day, he helped us to make friends, he got
nice beds for us .... gee ... this Opie dude is a nice guy. Yes he is ...... Please VOTE FOR OPIE cus every vote you cast is money Opie uses
to take care of us. Without YOU and
your VOTE TODAY ..... we might not have
enough to eat.
VOTE
CATS !!! Nibs and Murphy
I'm gonna teach every dawg at
Rikki's to be friendly and outgoing and to love our visitors .... I pledge every dawg will look forward to
meeting strangers .... cus a stranger
is just a friend with treats we haven't met yet !!!!! VOTE DOGS !!! Obie
The heck you are, Obie. If I want to be leery of hoomans I don't
know, that's MY right. Opie has always
respected my rights ..... and I still get lots of good food .... and a nice place to sleep where I can stay
away from strangers. Opie respects who
I am and lets me be me. I'm endorsing
Opie. VOTE
CATS !!! Beauty
Hi ya all !!! My name is Milo and I'm a goat. I've conferred long and hard with all the
goats .... and we endorse Opie. He's nice, he makes sure we get lots of
nums, and we get out feet taken care of, and we get medicine when we're sick. YOU all are nice to us cus Opie asks you to
be. Obie wants to chase us. He says he's playing. But Opie lets US do the chasing. So we goats stand united and we endorse Opie
.....
VOTE
CATS !!!! Thank you, Milo
Ok, Obie .... you're doing a
miserable job here. Let me give you
some pointers about what makes a good leader .... you gotta take care of EVERYBODY ..... you have to put their needs before your own ..... come on ... work with me a couple days and
you can try telling folks what you learned next time ..... Opie
