Janis and Baez loooove each other!
|
|
Janis and Baez: I
just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that Janis
and
Baez are doing well! They are quite energetic little kitties,
who keep me very entertained. ... I was just looking through
some pictures and found one that I thought you might like
to see. It is of something that happens on a daily basis,
but this is one of the first times that I caught it on camera.
I think they loooove each other! ( :

Chuck and Doll: Just
wanted to let you know the cats are doing great! They have
made our home theirs, they are very playful and loving...and
a lot of company to me..I've enclosed a few new pics. |

Mr. Hudson is a gentleman |
|
Mr Hudson took no time at all adjusting to life at my house... He has
been a true gentleman...
He uses the scratching post which is attached to the cat tree
in the picture. He has not tried to claw anything inappropriate.
In fact when he jumps up on me, I never feel claws. Always
soft paws. He and I are filling voids in each others' lives.
Thank you HSWA for the work you do and the joy you bring to
folks and
their felines! |

Peppy and Madison |
|
Peppy: Our new adopted pet, Peppy,
is wonderful! Our daughter, Madison, was so surprised when
we brought him home...
Madison has spoiled
him, already. He sleeps with her and has been a joy to take
care of. We just wanted to send you a few pictures of his happy
homecoming. |
 Beau loves the couch

Beau: Hey!! Just wanted to let you know Beau
is doing great!! He loves hanging out on the couch and he is
a
Lap Dog!!
Thanks again! |

Prissy (L) with her new pal Darci
|
|
Prissy: This pic is of Darci and Prissy playing
Sunday. Their faces are so happy - they were just chasing each
other
around the back yard as fast as they could. I hope all dogs
experience the happiness these two had in this picture. |

Roscoe gets comfortable
|
|
Roscoe: [Here is a picture of] Roscoe after
his Thanksgiving meal! I think he's comfortable.

Ginger: We adopted the BEST puppy from HSWA last fall,
and she has been the most wonderful blessing we could have imagined. She is
the sweetest
dog
ever... The only thing she does better than running and playing
is cuddling and sleeping. We love her so much and we just wanted to send
you all a heartfelt thanks for giving her a second chance, she has truly
made our lives so happy! |
