Thursday Thirteen!

Filed under: Thursday Thirteen! — dawn @ 2:49 am

I should have gotten this posted about an hour ago…but I got upset with something and had to take care of it. Oh well, I am here now

Thirteen random things for Thanksgiving.

1. The list of things for me to do today

Turkey ~ must go into the oven at 10 am @ 325F
Potatos ~ scrub and get into the oven at 1pm
Acorn Squash ~ start working on this at 1:30pm
Stuffing ~ 2:30
Pies ~ cook between 10 am and 12pm

2. I made a really cute decoration…



This first one was a present for my friend


This one I made for our house


3. We have taken in another Foster Kitty. His name is Duke. He is about 2 years old and would make a great pet for a home with adults or older children. He would make a great one cat household, he feels stress when around other cats.



4. This weekend, I will go and get another Foster, Bruno. Here is his listing on Petfinders and his picture…



5. I am going to start doing an Adoption Day at the local Petco. A friend of mine and I will be taking some of our fosters there, with high hopes that they will be able to find a new fur-ever family. If you are considering adding a fur-baby to your household, please visit a No-Kill Shelter, or Petfinder.com

tired of cats yet?

6. During this holiday season, many people get a kitten as a present for their families…I would really like to encourage these people to remember that kittens grow up. If you plan to take a kitten in this time of year, please consider that your playful little kitten will be a cat. Kittens are really cute, but if you intend on dumping the cat off at the local shelter in 6 months…please reconsider. Cats do take work, they can also make wonderful pets.

OK, I’m done

7. I don’t go out of the house on Black Friday. I don’t like malls on a normal day, I am not going on a day when almost everyone is fighting to get “the sales” I do have to go to the mall…but I will go when the kids are in school.

8. I am working on another blanket. This one is for me. I dont have any pictures as of yet, but I will post them when I do

9. I also have not taken any good pictures of the house. I still have boxes and stuff everywhere, which has been my excuse. I will have Hubby take some of the boxes to the basement, so that I will not have them cluttering the dinningroom

10. I cant find my LoTR’s DVD’s!!!!

11. Eldest got her report card last week and she once again made the Honor Roll…ok, she would have if they had the Honor Roll in her school. She is in advanced classes this year, so that makes this report card even more special

12. I really like my “Mulled Cider” candle, it makes this house smell so good. I hope that everyone has a happy, safe, Holiday Season.


13.

Happy Thanksgiving!!! I hate shopping as well and even though I may want a few things they are having an excellent sale on I most likely will not go out in that hoard of people because they are insane.

I know, but it isnt worth trying to drive, park at the mall and get through the mass of ill tempered people

I think it’s amazing that you foster animals. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I did have a good Thanksgiving, thank you.
I love my cats, I think that sums it up pretty good.

Two summers ago, I was adopted by a wonderful 3 year old Tux male. He is a very affectionate kitty and I just dont know how life would go on without him. He was tested and came back FIV+. Basically, he cant go outside, he cantcome in contact with other cats who are not FIV+. When the windows closed in the fall, he started crying at the door…for about 6 weeks. I tried just about everything to find a way to get him to stop. Finally I started making phone calls and found Abby. She is a feral 6 year old Mama kitty, also FIV+. Then my dad died.When I returned, I recieved a phone call from a shelter, asking if I would like to adopt a FIV+ cat. I already had Abby and thought that it would be to much for her. But it was cold outside and Blackie meeded a place that wasnt freezing cold. So I took him in. Blackie has since been adopted by my family.

We moved to a house so we have more room, so it was only natural that I would help more kitties. I am not adopting any of these though. I think that 3 is a good number, fosters will have to find homes, but when they do, I can help other kitties.

My cats have their own site Top Hat and Tails
