What a blessing you are for her, and her to you. I helped my mom keep a kitty out of a shelter by adopting her directly from her first family - and then mom decided Miley needed a friend and went to the shelter and adopted Chloe. They are not "best of friends" yet - Miley and Chloe - but the Miley girl is starting to come around. She didn't know the world existed of other feline types!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740789515901767761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-40944379698429325672008-02-13T16:35:00.000-06:002008-02-13T16:35:00.000-06:00Topaz is beautiful, what a great story about her l...Topaz is beautiful, what a great story about her licking your hand and purring in bed. We have 4 cats inside and that is our limit and one more than I care for but what can you do? I volunteer at a shelter and Nola had been there so long she was looking depressed so I took her home for"just a little while." 1/2 year later she's still here, so that makes 4. Ours are 10, 3, 2 and 2, so life is wild at our house and the furniture...well, it's just furniture like my husband says.

Topaz is SUCH a sweet-looking kitty - we lost one who looked much like her last fall and I miss her so... She is a very lucky kitty. Thanks for adopting these kitties - we need more people like you around! Blessings to you!

He loves you one minute, is embarrassed by your attention the next, and just refuses to go to bed at a "sane" hour. ha ha!<BR/><BR/>I'd love to be entered in the drawing for the cookbook: kw29294 at yahoo dot com.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-22396974028075814572008-01-28T12:58:00.000-06:002008-01-28T12:58:00.000-06:00Please add my name to your drawing to speak with y...Please add my name to your drawing to speak with you (although I am in such awe of what you do, I may not be able to speak.)

The amount of time and energy and love that Bernie selflessly gives to her rescued animals is truly amazing, and because of your generosity she has a really good chance of winning one of the $50,000 grants. And when you add in the funds from your personal donations, she should have enough money to pay off all those vet bills and build a wonderful shelter building for the dogs!<BR/><BR/>I apologize for not replying to your comments individually. I'm hoping to at least get to your questions tomorrow or the next day. Thanks for your patience and understanding.Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-6652826550208026862008-01-26T19:04:00.000-06:002008-01-26T19:04:00.000-06:00I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your cats.

The person who wrote the bio stated that Mr Gray gets rough and scratches. As a result of that bio he was there for almost a year because people were too afraid. before adopting Mr Gray we spent time together and I realized that he gets rough when you touch his bottom half belly. Otherwise he's a love bug.
