Hello all--
Rita, it was great to FINALLY meet you too!! Alright, enough with the boring black font....changing NOW- oh yes, Univ. of Tennessee Volunteer Orange is more like it! It has actually been very quiet today (extremely unusual for a Weds.). No adoptions today...
We did have a guy come in and play with our condo kitties for a good hour and a half. He's in love with Taylor and went home to talk it over with his wife. Taylor would be the lone cat in the household and the man acted like a special diet for him would be no big deal. (One of our volunteers Gloria Mabe has sweetened the deal and said she would buy any cat with a special diet a month's worth of food if adopted!) Also, Taylor was out running around--he shouldn't be due to IBS (but he was in cage 8 and should've been in cage 9- he and Tex were switched. Let's all be careful to update the meds book--no need for messy diarrhea if we can avoid it!)--but maybe the honest mistake got him a home?? Keep your fingers crossed, everyone!
I also had an approved home lined up for Brewsky, but due to weight requirements, it fell through. He's a cutie--I'm sure it won't take him long to find his forever home.
Ginger got herself a wonderful bath from Bill today. I'm not sure who ended up more soaked. But Ginger certainly did appreciate it as she was prissing around after that- you could see her confidence in her step! We may also have a foster for her (this is where everyone now crosses their fingers for the second time).
Like the 2 puppies, we are also only down to 2 grey kittens needing homes. I'm taking Lilo to her pre-approved home today after I get off of work. She has over $150 worth of toys and such waiting on her at her new house!
That's about it--it was great seeing everyone!
And keep Joanne in your prayers- she's going in for hand surgery tomorrow!
Have a wonderful rest of "Talk Like a Pirate" Wednesday--
Keely

OMG--I didn't think anyone else knew about Talk Like a Pirate day! Of course, I think EVERY DAY is talk like a pirate day, ye scurvy dog!
Is Tex no longer in cage 7 with the B&W kitten? I can't remember who was in cage 8 before. I'm so happy to hear that Taylor might have a home (I hope we're talking about the same cat--the GIANT black cat?). He is such a sweetheart! I love the giant cats.
Keely - great post - welcome aboard.
Who'd a thunk it!!!!I'm continually learning new things from this blog - now Keely and Rita what is your secret for remembering this day?
International Talk Like a Pirate Day (ITLAPD) is a parodic holiday invented in 1995 by John Baur ("Ol' Chumbucket") and Mark Summers ("Cap'n Slappy"), of the United States, who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate. For example, an observer of this holiday would greet friends not with "Hello," but with "Ahoy, me haarrty!" The date was selected because it was the birthday of Summers' ex-wife and consequently would be easy for him to remember.
Ahoy!Blimey me hearties,on this fine day ye all are good. Ye all can talk like pirates all day long if ye want.Welcome back Rita and welcome Keely, ye lassies are me buckos.Pirates three are we. ARRR
ArrrrrrG Maties. Of course it's talk like a pirate day and hear me wenches growl. Glad Bily was swabbin something other than decks! Ginger probably loved seafaring even if it was just in the tub! I knew that too, but I love pirate history.
Sorry I cleaned condo today and with so many black cats I got confused. Glad it worked out. I really think it helps folks to see the cats out of cages. Many a caged cat once let out gets adopted. Hey gave Ranger another bath he is looking so much better and putting on weigh. Some one donated fish oil tablets and Vit E for him 1 tab each 2 x a day to help with the dry skin. He sjhould be looking great in no time.
Anita--you didn't say it like a Pirate! Thanks for giving Ranger another bath; he should be getting another dose of Ivermectin again soon. Isn't he sweet?
Who is "anonymous" who totally schooled me on ITLAPD? And where's my cool Pirate nickname?
AARRRR, Dave me bucko from Boston, how be....ye?
