14, 2018 - Opie's Diary of Daily Doings
at Rikki's Refuge
Early
clouds over the northern end of Bovine Boulevard South
More
clouds over Bovine Boulevard North
Frosty
20 degree morning
nobody
is out and about .... cept da hoomans
..... they'll wait for the sun to warm things
up a bit before coming out of their warm homes.
The
guineas are waiting for the Feed Store to open up and start serving breakfast
That's
how much cat food was left after serving breakfast ..... Uh Oh ...
I
put out a plea for help .... don't let
the cats go hungry !!!! Pleaz !!!
Not
warm enough this morning to hose off the deck and scrub the poop away.
We'll
have to come back and finish that after the temp is above freezing. Do it when it 22 degrees and you have a
great big huge ice slick !!!
Rolling
in the sun in the still frosty grass
Cats
and Goats and Ducks waiting outside the Feed Store hoping for a late morning snack
!!
Ben
napping in the sun in the window seat at the Life Center
Buddy
likes the window seat too and often shares with Ben.
I
think Buddy is a disgrace .... he came
here lots bigger than me ..... and
he's cooperated with da hoomans about this diet thing ..... look at him .... he's almost the size of a regular cat .... not a super sized one like me !!!!
Ben
wakes up to ask ..... Is breakfast served yet or should I go back to sleep?
Timmy
and Sylvestra were playing king of the mountain
video compliments of Opie
taking
turns wrestling to see who got the bed and who got the steps. Of course you
know it distracts them if you point a camera on them!!!! Tried the red dot and the batteries went out
..... guess that means a trip to Dollar Tree today!!!!!
Cindy
to the rescue !!!!!
Arriving
in the afternoon with cracked corn, sweet feed, senior horse feed and best of
all !!! CAT FOOD !!!!! Four bags of the best dael you can get.
Best
Deal Cat Food
available
at Tractor Supply .... $16.99 .... our kitties eat TWO bags of his size a DAY
!!!
Please
pick up a bag for us when you're coming out to visit ..... or if you give me the green trading papers,
I'll hook up the goat cart and go make the trade and lug it home !!!

Don't worry about your favorite little orange dude gettin squished with such big heavy bags ..... they all know me at Tractor Supply and they'll load up the goat cart and my hoomans will unload it for me back at Rikki's !!!!
This
is mere fraction of why we need so much cat food !!!
When
Cindy saw how bare the Feed Store was she said she'd check and see how many
bags of cat food tractor supply had left.
Beauty
says, drop on the spot, it's 5 pm and my union contract says .......
This
is why the dogs never win Cats vs Dogs and get to be the rulers of
Rikki's. You don't see them workin all
day and all night to make sure everybody is fed and taken care of. No way .... you see ME doing that .... and
I'm a CAT ..... Cats are Rulers
..... Dawgs are Droolers ...... and tomorrow Beauty will be in my office
AGAIN asking why she hasn't gotten a raise in years !!!
Good
night from Bub, Goose and Bella
And
despite working since well before the sun was up .... and looking forward to some supper and sit down time ..... when
the call came as the last pink rays of sun were on the horizon ... Papa Doug geared up for another round when
that voice on the other end of the phone said, "a nice lady named Cindy
stopped in and asked us to reserve cat food for you but it's got to be picked
up tonight."
Yup,
we gotz most of a pallet here you can come and get !!!! But you gotta bring the Little Orange Dude
so we can snuggle him !!!! Everybody
just loves me !!! You can come meet me
at out book signing at Re-Tail on the 24th .... I hope you do ..... and
bring nums !!!!
Off
into the sunset to stock the pantry !!!
Now
THIS is the kind of truck I'll get up out of my nice warm bed to go open the
gate for !!!!
Home
to unload our weeks supply of dry cat food !!!!
Will
Papa Doug get ANY sleep tonight ?????
He's missed dinner ..... and
after unloading he'll do a round to check on every body and make sure nobody's
water has iced over and everybody is safe and sound and all is well .....
And he's got to be on the road again at o'dark thirty to go on a mission for the dogs ......
And he's got to be on the road again at o'dark thirty to go on a mission for the dogs ......

Opie
