Phil

Hi Karen and staff...


I just though I would update you on how Phil is doing.

He iis already getting spoiled and is the king of the house for sure. He has our dog petrified of him, he stoood up on his hind legs and boxed the dog into submission on their first meeting and now the dog gives him a wide bearth. He gets to sleep in dad's bed and watches intently out any window he can jump into. He rides great in the van and seems to enjoy going out to our trailer for weekends.

He is a perfect match with our family and I think we certainly picked the right guy. He has his own personality and is very determined that when he wants petted you will do it no matter what time of day or night it is.

Thanks for all of your help in Phil's adoption.

Kevin and Braydan.

Aggie (Agatha) update

Hi

We adopted Aggie two weeks ago today. So far she has destroyed our futon, put holes all over our leather furniture and she also steals crackers. Lucky she's so darned adorable! Truthfully, we knew she would have some adjustment issues and we're not overly concerned about her little transgressions. Our pet cockatiel is still alive, but she paid waaay too much attention to his existence at first. It did take only a couple of short spritz's of the water bottle to remind her that he was here first and is now her housemate. Aggie has settled in very well and our other cat Joey has easily accepted her presence (he did growl and hiss a bit at first). The first day or so, she hid in the basement off and on and actually was briefly stuck behind the freezer. If you saw her now you would think she was born here. Aggie has an adorable little squeaky meow that gets her whatever she wants and all three of us love her dearly. Attached are a couple of pictures of Joey and Aggie and it should be noted that they squeezed themselves onto a little blanket together when they could have stretched out on the rest of the bed. Yes, they both sleep on the bed with us at night.

I couldn't resist starting out the message with her little demolition streak but it has a happy ending which is what we all wanted.

Best regards to all,


Marilyn Brown
