Creature Corner: June 29, 2017

Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” Patrick introduced himself to the ARF cats.

Bobbie

Bobbie: You know, Anabel, I was lying around this weekend, trying to stay cool, when I started thinking about you.

Anabel: Really? What were you thinking?

Bobbie: I was wondering how in the heck it is that you, with your big, gorgeous eyes, are still here?

Patrick: And Tinkerbell. What the heck? You’re a looker, too. I think your eyes are even bigger than Anabel’s! Why are you still here?

Mr. Gray

Bobbie: And you know, they’re not just pretty. They’re also very loving.

Patrick

George: And so am I! I like humans.

Bobbie: You like humans? None of you, and I mean none of you, is as friendly as I am.

Tinkerbell: Oh, Bobbie, I’m not so sure about that.

Pepper: I’m pretty friendly, too, once the human gives me a few minutes to get to know him.

Crue: And how about us dogs?

Jet & Crue

Jet: Yeah! We’re super friendly, too.

George: And what I like about you two is you are friendly with cats.

George

Crue: You know it!

Patrick: So you and Jet want to be adopted together, right?

Jet: That’s right.

Crue: And what we hope humans know is that Jet and I are so well behaved and pretty quiet!

Mr. Gray: I think you guys will be the perfect addition to a forever family.

Anabel

Jet: As will any of you cats!

Bobbie:  And the icing on the cake is that cat adoptions are still half-price, thanks to community sponsors.

Tinkerbell

Anabel: Aw, that’s so great. What a great community we have on this mountain!

Will the next adoption be canine or feline? Be sure to keep up with the animal antics of “Days of Our Nine Lives” each week. And please stop in to say hello to the entire adoptable cast at the ARF House, 26890 Hwy. 243 on Saturdays 10-4 and Sundays 10-2, or by appointment M-F by calling 951-659-1122.

Creature Corner is sponsored in memory of all the beloved pets.
