at Rikki's Refuge
CATURDAY
!!!!!!
And
it started as a disaster day !!!!
Do
YOU know what this is?
It's
ICE dumped out a water bowl ..... ICE
.... I thought we were well on our way
to spring and here it is all cold again !!!
The
less than year old hot water heater isn't working .... needs parts that can't
be gotten till Monday .... Ohhhh Noooo ..... do you have a clue how much water
we'll be heating up in the microwave for cleaning ?????
The
culprit !!... Vapor sensor for the hot water tank ... something so small
causing all this trouble!!
The
guy at the plumbing supply place in town said, yeah .... you better buy several of those .... that's
why we don't even carry that brand anymore .... nothin but trouble ...
that vapor sensor goes out all the time. And he told us where we could get it. Papa Doug called ... but
not open till Monday. Great !!!! So we will buy a couple on Monday.
AND
the potty in the 9th Life is stopped up ....
don't
look at me .... I didn't do that ..... some hooman .......
All
the water from the mop sink and the laundry and everything was coming up in
that bathroom and it was one great big horrible mess. Good thing I got hoomans I can put to work!
Papa
Doug called around and found a place that was open where he could rent a great
big giant SNAKE ..... I heard him say
that on the phone ..... and I took off
running. That's gonna be HIS job ...
I'm not gettin no where near no snake .... especially a BIG SNAKE ....
It
took hours of working with that great big snake to get things all cleared out
..... they had to take the toilet up
.... and still they could not break up
the great big clog ..... then they had
to pull the deck up cus there's a clean out outside under the front deck ....
and they still had to work and work and work !!!
Finally ...... a whole bunch of paper towels came out ..... I can tell you .... if Papa Doug find out who flushed that .... there gonna be a lot of great big trouble round here. I didn't do it. I think maybe the dawg did.
What a mess that great big snake left in Jasmine's and Cleopatra's bathroom .... they were really upset about not being allowed in while it was all being fixed and cleaned up.

And
the propane truck came to fill the tank and the big bad man wants $627 from me
..... I showed him my empty pockets and he said bad things ..... I did convince
him to fill it up so we don't freeze to death ..... did you know there was ICE
in everything this morning ..... evil weather hooman has struck again .....
it's COLD .... 35 and cloudy and a little windy .... BRRRRRRR cold right thru
my fur ......
I
need your help please ..... gotta pay for that propane, the hot water heater
and the potty ..... Please .... don't have that second donut ..... please give
it to me ..... ok ok ok ... mom says I'm to ask you to make a donation for the
cost of that donut to help me pay the bills ...... pleaz ???
www.RikkisRefuge.org/Donate .... thank you, Opie
And
then the water in the tank in the toilet in mum's personal quarters just
started pouring and wouldn't stop !!!!
And SHE says I have to put on my Plumbers Hat and go to Lowes for parts
..... the innards of a potty have to be fixed .... I said just fill your potty
up with cat litter .... that's what YOU do with mine ...... and you know what
SHE said? SHE said, "Opie, you want to be a plumbercat and eat fancy feast
or you wanna be a hungry cat."
Seriously
.... life just ain't fair round here. I have to do ALL the work .....
Well
ok, maybe not ALL .... cus Papa Doug and Uncle Clarence worked on the other
potty but it had a big snake ....
Bridgette
and Elsinore at our Thrift Store, Re-Tail in Fredericksburg, heard about all
the water problems today and decided to help out.
Mooooooo
And
even while all the excitement and disasters was going on ..... everybody had to still get fed and cleaned
up
No
excuses hooman .... none .... breakfast
will not be late.
Thank
you for the donations to fill our bowls !!!!!
The
ducks and geese could use some new swimming pools
See
the big hole? their plastic pools have
had a hard time with this winter's frigid weather. These are kid's sandboxes, they hold up a lot better than the
plastic pools cus they are sturdier plastic.
If you see any at yard sales or thrift shops, please pick them up for
us!!!!
Hey
Goliath, can you help me with my campaign?
I'm
worried Opie will win Cats vs Dogs again this year. I need some expert advice.
Obie
Goliath:
Sure Opie, sure, I'll be happy to help you out, gee wouldn't it be great to
have a dawg in charge . Bet you
wouldn't worry as much about fattening us up on Fancy Feast as Opie does, huh?
Mmm
seeds and bugs !!!! What more can you
possibly ask for ?
Chevy
being a camouflage kitty !!!
It's
not just cats and dogs who have to check what the other guy got to eat to see
if it's better than their's!!!
Moooootiful
eyes !!!!!
You
often hear about the beautiful soulful eyes of cows. It's so true. You just
melt looking into their eyes. How can
anyone who's looked into the eyes of a cow even think about eating one?
Uncle
Paul loves the color of this goat's eyes.
They
are unusual, aren't they? And look now
nicely he posed nicely for his close up.
Freddy
......
his
dream is to grow up just like Garfield his hero !!!!!!
Isn't
this guy in the photos everyday?
Show
off !!!!!
Caturday
brings out the volunteers too !!!!
Rob
volunteering his time helping to scoop kitty poop .... look at all those bags he collecting
!!!! It's a big job and Clarence is
thankful to have Rob's help today.
Uncle
Ron studying what the Wishing Well needs to get it in beautiful shape.
REMEMBER
---- come out on Saturdays from 9 - 4
and help us paint and fix up the wooden fence at the Life Center !! As long as the weather is dry and until the
fence is painted all the way from route 20 to the Life Center ... that whole
half mile ... we'll be waiting for YOU
to show up on SATURDAYS!!!!
Uncle
Ron is in charge of signs !!!!
Thank
you Uncle Ron .... what a lovely job !!!!
We all love your colors !!!!
Uncle
Paul and Uncle Ron started work on the fence, trimming back bushes
and
replacing rotting parts of fencing.
WOW
that was a lot all in one day !!!!!
What
a day !!!!!
But
now I have on my Success-A-Cat hat !!!!!!
Aren't your proud of me? I wented to Lowes all by my self .... I took
the goat cart all by myself .... and I found the part I needed .... the stoopid
guy only yelled at me once for climbing up the shelves to get it off .... I
said Hisssssss and showed him my teeth and he went away .......
The
hardest part of all was using that self serve check out thing .... it kept
saying take the extra item out of your bag .... and then a light flashed and
then a lady came and said ..... hey little orange dude ... you can't stand on
that when you try to ring stuff up cus it's weighing what you put in your bag
and now it's way way way heavy for toilet innards ......
When I told her I had to be up there cus I couldn't reach she held me up to do the card thing ..... then I gotted home and I fixed the innards so now the toilet don't leak no more so running water all the time won't wear out the well pump !!!!!

Opie
