We who choose to surround ourselves with lives
even more temporary than our own,
live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its awful gaps,
we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only certain immortality,
never fully understanding the necessary plan.

- Irving Townsend -

Soar High Sweet Jack.
Many tears are being shed for you.
We will see you at The Bridge.
Love,
~ The Bunch and Mom Bobbie

Red Fox..recovering!

2011-09-29T11:42:00.004-04:00

God made all the creatures and gave them our love and our fear,
To give sign, we and they are His children, one family here.

- Robert Browning -

From our local wildlife rescue, AWARE

This red fox came into AWARE's wildlife center 2 weeks ago with severe mange, fleas, and poor body condition. A kind person saw this fox on home video surveillance for a few weeks before cleverly trapping it. It is getting better, and not imprinted with humans, so should be able to go back to wildlife here in Georgia.

AwareOne Home

Mom Bobbie adding..Please keep your cats inside!
They are in so much danger with wild animals (where else can they go?), roaming dogs and traffic.
We have two little surprises to show you tomorrow. Today they are resting from spay and those nasty old shots, but we hope to have a couple of pictures tomorrow!
Please foster if you have a lot of room in your heart and a little room in your home.
~ Mom Bobbie

Hi Furriends!
Just wanted to take a minute and introduce
you to ... two more fosters!!

They were so afraid the first few days, so we just took
a couple of pictures, but we took a few more today.
To those of you that found some green papers
THANK YOU and for those who kept their fingers
crossed that Robin at CiCH could get them, THANK YOU!
They are safe and will be here maybe a couple of weeks.

~ Anna Sue

Now, I'd like you to meet our foster brofurs...
Basil (in front) and Nigel (on table).
They are on a grain free diet as both are

Nigel was more comfortable than Basil.

These boys sure do love each other.
We are soooo glad that they are safe and
will have a forever home!

Let your boat of life be light,
packed with only what you need--
a homely home and simple pleasures,
one or two friends, worth the name,
someone to love and someone to love you,
a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two,
enough to eat and enough to wear,
and a little more than enough to drink;
for thirst is a dangerous thing.

Friday without Phillip

2011-07-29T07:38:00.010-04:00

If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. I'll always be with you.

- Winnie The Pooh -

Hai Furriends.. Yesterday was a big day here...
Mr. Bobby came by and picked up Phillip
for his trip to Connecticut.
We think it is a squillion and seven miles away,
but Mom Bobbie and Mr. Bobby said
'No, not really'...

He was not entirely ready to go, but it was time....

Mom Bobbie was not entirely ready for him to go...

Bob and Patrick are always there to meet and greet...
or
to say g'bye.....

Mom Bobbie loves you very, very much Phillip.
We know Mom Robin will find you the Best Forever Home
in the whole wide world!

He had a different PTU when he got to the transport place..
He even had his very own number!
It was big and sorta pink.

G'bye Precious Phillip!
Safe travel, God be with your drivers and we
look forward to seeing pictures of you soon at
Mom Robins house!

This is where Mom Bobbie had to spend most of the day.
Just a regular scheduled appointment....
Everything checked out OK, but she said part of her
heart got put in that pink carrier on that yellow trailer,
and is traveling a squillion and seven miles away....

Hope you have a happy Friday..
~ The Bunch

-Mom Bobbie-
and if I may add...
Fostering is one of the hardest things I've ever done.
I am going to slow down for a couple of months,
partly because of the weather and partly because I need
a break from the heart ache that comes with it.
It's highly likely that Freya (Arizona), Bonita, MacGruber and
Phillip
would have been euthanized if it had not been for rescuers
asking if there was anyone, anywhere that could foster for a while.
I'm glad I had a small part in saving their lives and I have such high
regard for those that do rescue work and adoptions.
They are my hero's ...
If you have a small space in your home and a large place
in your heart, consider fostering for one of the rescue groups.
There are hundreds of them that need help.

~ Mom Bobbie

Faith makes things possible, not easy.

Remember when Dad Norfolk realized his three babies were
not in the nest any longer?
You can read about it HERE.
They have been raised and taken
care of by the Wildlife Center of Virginia and will be
Released Today!
You can watch HERE starting at 10:00, release at 11:00.
It, for me, is a sad, happy, scary, wonderful event.
Then, tomorrow... Phillip will also start a new journey.
I love him so much, and know he will have the purrfect home.

Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.

Uh-oh, do not know why I am inside a PTU.

Ah-ha! Another v-e-t office.

Oh boy! I am getting a real good cuddle by Miss Heather!

Now I know why I am here.
Dr. Kidd said I am good to travel.
That means I will be on my way to Connecticut very soon!

Hey Mom! We are back home, let me owt!!!

Mom Bobbie is very sad that I am leaving....but

Hai Furriends,

Sometimes Mom and I do not agree about giving me fluids,
and she usually wins that one.. but I get a treat when finished.

Whoever said money can't buy happiness
simply didn't know where to go shopping.

- Bo Derek -

Mom left us yesterday! I am watching for her to come home.
This is Moms cousins, sister and aunt.

They were checking out stuff that I don't need.
Do you see any treats?

Mom said she likes those pretty sunflower items.
She loves sunflowers!

More pretty stuff, but no Temptations or Friskies in sight.

Christmas! Nice to think about, it is almost 100 degrees now.

She finally came home and fed us.
It was hard waiting, but we survived!

Happy Thursday to all our furriends ..

(I'm thankful that Mom remembered that today is not Friday
and changed her words. Just can not depend on her at all!)

I believe in animal rights,
and high among them is the right
to the gentle stroke of a human hand.

- Robert Brault -

Hai furriends...I am a very Happy Mancat!
I am enjoying my freedom. Although I do not get to see the other cats here except to see them when my door is opened, I am still free! A few weeks ago I was in a high kill shelter in Georgia. Robin of CICH saw my picture and asked a friend if she would foster me until I could travel. If this had not happened, I would not have my freedom. My time would have probably run out, or maybe I would have gotten sick, or no more room, and I would have been put down. So, you see why I am happy to have my freedom, even if it is in a room of my very own, with toys to play with and a little bit of nip and fresh food and water and humans that love me and give me good pets and scritches..I am a very happy Mancat!
Now I'll return the blog to The Bunch ^..^
Happy Mancat Monday!!

OK, so I am a little bit jealous.
I will just ignore Mom for a while,
That will teach her to hold Phillip.

You cannot do a kindness too soon,

Hai everyone! I am Phillip and I am still a foster here! I am not easy to photograph, can you tell? Mom Bobbie had the camera and the bean daughter, Rene' was trying to get me to turn around so everyone could see my handsome self. Well, that didn't work!

I just wanted to borrow the blog and say how thankful I am to Robin at Covered In Cat Hair for saving my life! She is also involved in saving a stray cat and her brand new babies here in Georgia. Please take a minute, go over and see that lucky family right HERE!
We are ALL so thankful for Robin and people like her! As much as Mom Bobbie will miss me, (because I am such a good, sweet, handsome kitty cat) I am looking forward to meeting Robin when I get to Connecticut.

The nice thing about teamwork
is that you always have others on your side.

- Margaret Carty -

Hai, Timothy here, just enjoying my basket.
We still have Phil, but we also had two boy babycats!
Our great friend, Mr. Bobby took them to their new home!

Are they the cutest little things you ever saw?
They came all the way from Michigan!
That is I think, about eleventy two squillion miles away.
It took a whole lot of people to make this happen,
and they are finally at their forever home in
South Carolina!

G'bye little babcats!! We hope to see pictures soon!
Now, I must try to get Mom to visit our furriends.
She is falling very short of her responsibilities of
being our typist and communicator.
Hope you all have a Happy Mancat Monday!

If the person you are talking to
doesn't appear to be listening, be patient.
It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.
- Winnie The Pooh - I think our Mom has a piece of fluff in her ear!
She is still having pain from those awful Shingles.
They never made a very bad rash, but sure do cause pain.
She is all out of focus and I am, too.
Keep yourself away from Shingles, get the vac!!

When your mother asks,
'Do you want a piece of advice?'
it is a mere formality.
It doesn't matter if you answer yes or no.
You're going to get it anyway.

Hi Furriends and Beans!
We want to wish everyone a Happy Mothers Day, if you are a
Mother, a Daughter, a Sister, a Mother-in-law, an Aunt or a Grand!
I am the only kittycat here that has been a Mother, and thankfully
I was saved from that ever happening again to me!
There are enough kittens in this world.
Our Mom was going to use this quote, because it is true..
well, the first part is true, anyway :)
My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.
