CELESTE from Central & Second |
PUNKY from Parsells |
Punky is just a kitten. I believe he or she may be the last of the kittens I was not able to rescue when they were very little. He is about six months old now, I believe. Quite feral also. I did have Momma spayed earlier in the fall. Celeste, I believe, is the mother of the five kittens I once saw, but now see only three. Two little black and white ones, and that adorable fluffy tabby that rolls over on its back, that I was nearly able to grab the other day. Uggh.
Did you know that two years ago, it was Janine Wagner Day in the City of Rochester! :) Thanks Maria for remembering. My mother remembered last year and sent me a card, but forgot this year.
I occasionally run into some odd characters in the morning.
Lisa was out the other day, mumbling something. I pointed her out to my friend Terrie, who rode with me for a second time, and told her how I tried to have assault charges against her, as she's been a terror in the neighborhood, most especially to cats, for years now. I am not frightened of her, she has a mental illness for sure, but she plays games with my stuff a few houses down from her, and she might be at it again. I haven't seen her in a year at least.
Sometimes, while pouring food, or walking away or to a shelter, someone is walking past, and I immediately greet them with a hello! Some greet me back, and some keep walking, saying nothing. Those are the ones I have to keep an eye out for when I turn my back, even for a second. Some are just not social, which doesn't mean they are violent. Another morning not to long ago, a younger black man walked over talking loudly - unintelligible, and came a little too close to the Jeep on Short Street, his body jerking around all over the place, and I walked BACK to the car to turn it off, said 'what's going on.' but he turned around and left. That was a bit scary for me, but I've not seen him again.
There are all sorts of characters out there. Most see what I am doing and just walk past. Have not seen homeless Will in a long time. I worry about that man.
Speaking of puke (yesterday's post), Vanessa just did - ON THE CARPET.
Have a nice day!

Hi Janine, In Memory of Henry Honey Ham I donated $60.00 to the clinic for one of the spay/neuters today.
ReplyDeletelove you and all the work you do!

OMG!!! Amy - I just saw your comment - you are SO SO SO awesome! Thank you! It's funny you picked today to sponsor a cat because I always called one of my cats "Punky" instead of her real name (which was moonbeam). And to do that in memory of Henry makes me so grateful. I am blessed to have you as my sister-in-law and friend!!

Janine- In memory of my sweet little Gabriel who passed away tragically a few months ago (who I noticed you may have named a little kitty you TNR'd last week after!) I just made a donation to your account at RCAC. Keep up the great work!!
