Last week in “Days of Our Nine Lives,” the ARF cats discussed the kittens.
Lulu: Adoptions! Adoptions!
Stevie: Who? Who found a forever home?
Lulu: Cinnamon and Apricot have found forever happiness.
Rosemary: That is wonderful. I hope it happens soon for me, and the rest of us, of course.
Pepper: I thought we also had two new dogs here.
Rosemary: We did, but before they could make it into the Town Crier, they were adopted!
Fern: I’ve heard that animals, especially dogs, have been adopted very quickly.
Stevie: This is true. The best way for people to find out about new cats and dogs here is to check out Facebook.
Pepper: Now, we need to get these kittens adopted, right?
Tonka: Right!
Clover: We are so darned cute that it is difficult to figure out why we are still here.
Saffron: No kidding! We will bring happiness and love into any home.
Fern: As will the rest of us.
Whiskers: Fern, I see that you are now the office cat.
Fern: That I am, and I am also the official welcoming cat.
Stevie: You are so very friendly that I’m not surprised you were given that job.
Rosemary: I could also handle that job. I’m very friendly as well.
Stevie: You know, so am I.
Lulu: So Fern, the weekly reports will now be up to you.
Fern: OK! And I truly hope lots of folks will come in to meet us. I am willing and ready to welcome them all!
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 Highway 243.
