Our Cats after Release:

1.     Wylie:  Larry and Lucky from Louisiana went to this backyard.  The owners have fixed up a “retreat” for them and all is well.

2.     Southlake:  Julie went to this garage in Southlake.  She is doing great and they “love” her BUT she wants in the house…keep trying, Julie!

3.     Flower Mound:  Nora and Jane went to this barn home.  The black one got sick so I picked up both cats and got them Convenia shots.  Now they are released.  They have not been seen but the litter is used and the food is disappearing. 

4.     Seagoville:  Max Junior was placed in this barn in Seagoville.  He is doing GREAT and seems to love his new home. 

5.     Roanoke:  Precious and Spice now have their own “cat house” and have been “taking care of business” with the rodent population.  Way to go, girls!

         

Calls/Emails:  Ranch/Rancher in Navarro County

Went down that way with some cats and took some pics of the owner on his horse and the guinea hens running around.  We put cats there several years ago.  This is the consummate Texas look – love it!

 

BMG:   Road Signs in Oklahoma

Remember that area that had signs with road names only pointing to the left side of the street?  This is kind of the same thing.  Signs in Oklahoma leaving I-75 from Texas have names but not the road numbers.  Then going west there were NO SIGNS pointing to Whitesboro (Hwy 377) but when I missed it, there ARE SIGNS going east…WHAT?  Nancy and I got “confused” in Oklahoma once and that was before the MAP AP.  I stopped to speak to a policeman who had up a radar trap and asked him “Where are we?”  He directed us out of there or we might still be there!   That is the day we passed the “Middle of No Where Market” – HA HA!  

OMG:  Captain, My Captain!

This is “Captain”, an older black cat about 14 years who came from an apartment complex in North Dallas many, many years ago.  He is a Permanent Barn Cat because of his advanced age and the fact that he HAS NO TEETH!  But…he can still curl up with his favorite toys!  Way to go, Captain!
