 The snow piles are gone.....even the big ones made by the snow plows!  The cats are shedding, the horses are silly and playful, sunbeams make the cats roll around in them, the chicken egg production is good!  Spring is almost here! 

We've had two more adoptions!

Skandar was adopted 3/12--such a handsome young kitten with his round eyes and round head! His new mom had the weekend off just to be with him! He went into the same home that adopted Joy Joy!

Ringo was adopted 3/9. I've already heard from his family:  "Just wanted everyone to know Ringo is doing so good!  He is settling in great and is boss of the house! He is so sweet and is pure joy!"  I am so happy for our boy.

This week, we have had families in to see the LJ litter. They are now all on hold with their families waiting for them to be spayed/neutered. We are hoping this will happen on 4/8 and then they will be going to their new homes.  Today Bub will be adopted! He's another big boy with a great heart!

The 6 kittens are now in the Main Area with Paddy's Place as their nap time/night time sleep and their eating place. I love how when they get sleepy, they bundle up together. They are doing great.

We had our FUn-Raiser on Weds.! A great time with super results!  I am so grateful.

Just an update on Steve--Monday he has to go to the Cardiology Hospital in Toledo for a heart catherization and stent for a blockage. He had another one done a few years ago. He will be there overnight--home Tuesday. They will let me go into the hospital to be with him, which I am grateful for. We will be leaving about 1:30 tomorrow. Please keep him in your prayers and good thoughts.  Thank you. 

We are still planning on leaving for our vacation on Thursday sometime.  Steve just won't be able to drive or pick up anything heavy for a while.  He can continue his recovery there at the OBX! 

This Thursday is our HumaneOhio spay/neuter day with a very full schedule! 

This week was Flea Prevention week for all of the outside cats. As of today, all but a couple have gotten their Bravecto, thanks to Donna's hard work on this.  We use Bravecto because we only have to apply it  every 3 months, is good not only for flea prevention but it does a dewormer too and fights any earmites. 

All is good.  Hang on to your seat......I think this week is going to go super fast. Just 6 more days to spring!  Take good care.
