Last week in Days of Our Nine Lives, ARF cats and dog shared their holiday wishes for forever homes.
Bobbie: Just when I come to terms with another ARF dog’s presence, she’s gone.
Leia: Ha! Yeah, she was adopted last week. In addition to living with two dogs, there is a potbellied pig! I bet she’s having a blast.
George: Without doubt, I’m sure. On another note, have all you heard that ARF is offering special adoptions of us cats? Different Idyllwild businesses are sponsoring us, paying half of the adoption fee this month.
Olivia: So, you’re saying that anyone who can give us a safe, warm forever home will be able to adopt us for half of the usual adoption fee? That’s great!
Bobbie: Now that’s a good deal. Of course, I’m such a loving lap-cat, I’m worth hundreds more than any adoption fee.
Leia: The love and companionship any of us can give is priceless, Bobbie.
Bobbie: And now that it is so darned cold up here, our warm little bodies are an added bonus!
Olivia: My added bonus is my ability to entertain for hours on end. Have I ever shown you how I can open cabinets? And my ability to leap through the air is, to say the least, breathtaking.
George: Olivia, not all humans want that much activity. Those are the folks who might want to adopt me. I’m always around for companionship and lap-warming.
Carly: We all have our individual personalities, mine being an unassuming presence, but there none-the-less. And if the human wants a mouse-free home…
Pepper: I might not open cabinets like Olivia, but I am a champion toy-on-a-stick chaser. If that
doesn’t put a smile on a human’s face, I don’t know what will.
