Our Cats after Release:    

1.     Morgan Mill:  Equipment was returned to Lewisville this week.  Gary, Bryan, and Paul were placed here in a workshop.  Gary and Bryan are staying in the workshop area but Paul has moved to the barn which is next door to the workshop.  GOOD NEWS!

2.     Collinsville:  Tabitha when to live in the office area of the children’s camp.  Marta and Samoa went to the workshop and Blackie and Wally went to the barn.  All are still around and seen daily. 

3.     Canton:  Chimmy, Big Daddy, and Meanie went to this workshop in Canton.  Meanie is living under one of the houses and Chimmy is “everywhere” (running the property and riding on the tracker with the ranch manager).  Big Daddy is staying mostly in the workshop. 

4.     Alvarado:  Rex and Mister went to this warehouse.  They are friendly cats so I saw both.  Rex is the tabby and Mister is gray.

Here we go again – If you don’t have a message box on your phone then DON’T LEAVE ME A MESSAGE.  That puts the responsibility on me to try and reach you.  If you don’t have a message box then don’t use anyone else’s box – RUDE!   

BMG:   Back-Only Declawed Cat

Took some cats into East Texas this week.  The property owner said a friend from work had given her a cat.  She brought it home to discover that is was BACK-ONLY DECLAWED!  WHAT?  Who would do that and why?  Also – must have been done by a veterinarian – GEEZ!    

OMG:  Truck on I-30 in the Rain

ON MY GOD!  I was in line to change from I-30 to 635 when this 18-wheeler FORCED his way in to the line.   …and it was raining!  OUCH!
