thanks so much, Linda! I love your photos!! Especially the first one with the giant friendly dog on the couch! :) 

Sounds like we have something in common..."animals find us"!  I have always wanted a 2nd indoor kitten(part Siamese) and I would gladly get a humane society mix) but strays have other ideas and either show up or need a home! 2 of my 4 humane society cats are really hanging around even in broad daylight with the dogs around:) I noticed tonight when we walked by the big outside fence for them that Tank noticed something...I am hoping that Gramps never left the pen but is hiding in the fence ...I didn't go close just observed. As for the 4th...he is so spooked I don't know where he is but there is also something eating food at our old place so I am hopeful! Animals...

Hi Linda,

Frosty died on Wed:( I tried and Bella protected him but I guess it wasn't meant to be.I talked with the humane society and she said it's hard with cats you can't catch.

As for coons, we have some in our grove and that's how we ended up with a young one in our trap:( You should have seen  me ...I had a sheet of plywood in front of me and a stick...hoping that when I let him loose he would run and not turn on me...he ran very fast! They did visit our cat house to find food and water:(

Have a great day!

Hi Linda, I got Frosty an antibiotic shot this AM. I chose the 23-24 day one as the other they had was only good for less than a week. The vet covered his face in the crate and Frosty didn't move...thank-goodness. I also caught one of the cats from the other house so now Frosty has his friend Slinky there too. I  hope the rest decide their hungry...it's sardines today! Wish me "luck".

Hi Linda,

Frosty(due to a frost bit ear) came from a farm where the woman had 43 cats and they all lived in a shed. He is always there to greet me in the am. I am now trying to Live trap his buddies to bring them here where they will have a warm place in the garage with another outside fence to go in. I have to take him back to the vet this am because I can't get him to take his antibiotic which I have tried hiding in his food. The Humane Society has spayed, neutered and given them their shots for free since I was willing to give them a new life.  Frosty always greets me in the AM but stays a couple feet away. He came last October so I expect it to still take some time...unfortunately.

Linda, here is an invite to The Pack if you are interested

The Pack

I grew up northwest of Albany, near Fonda, and now I live out near Syracuse.  :)

Linda, how long did it take for your fluffy to reach "full fluff"?  I'm a little bit amazed at how fluffy my dog is getting (she's about 12 months old now).

Thank you for your birthday wishes for Bentley.  I like Max's fluffy coat. 

I love Wolfhounds and seriously considered getting one years ago. Do you have any photos you can post?

Welcome Linda, Max and Katie!
