Turkey Day is past

Well, along with the big rush to get a Turkey Day turkey actually cooked; we also had to do another run to the pet food store for food for the critters.  Boy, that is always so very costly. They did get some Turkey Day special food so they could also enjoy the Holiday as well.  The weather here has been very cold & rainy pretty often.  That makes the walks for the big dogs a bit more of an expedition as they need to get dried off when we get back. Right now the rain has passed although there are still chain requirements in the mountains until this evening I have heard.  Our porch kitties are hanging out in their warm beds we set out for them and seem to be doing ok.  One of the kitties would like to come in, but I know that would be a hassle for sure.  I do not think the kitties already here would like a new visitor right now.  They visit through the screen door and that works fine for now.  We are still trying to convince Merlin cat that he does want to be indoors during this cold weather, but he is so far having non of it no matter what we try. He seems to prefer the back yard to the warmth of the great indoors.  Very strange as he was bottle fed when we first got him so he has been a pampered kitty for about two years now. Suddenly he wants to be wild. We are going to keep working on it & see if we can convince him pretty soon.  Thought our recent cold spell would have done the trick.  We have apparently had some new visitors, but no one has signed the guest book so it is a bit hard to tell.  We sure would appreciate it if you would so we know we are reaching someone out there. Our donations are coming in slowly and thank you to all who are helping with that it is a big help during this recession right now.
