[...] Pam admits that it was only recently in her life that she owned cats. She finds them fascinating, and now declares herself a cat lover. Pam worries about her cats in the large open landscape that surrounds her home, and prefers the cats to be safe in her barn at night. Hence, she feeds them a special treat of wet cat food in the evening, raining them to come into the barn at night. Pam rings a cow bell towards dusk, and Junior and Minou come running, hop through the cat door for their tasty dinner, where Pam locks the barn door behind them. “It really works,” she laughs. Pam finds herself visiting her barn more often, and enjoys watching Minou becoming more comfortable with Pam and her family. “Minou is becoming less shy and more comfortable every day.” “There is a special compassion from people who choose to adopt an older cat,” observes Cheryl, “and mature cats can be an excellent choice for adoption.” Minou and Pam would agree.

I wanted to give a progress report on one of the 5 dogs rescued article that you had. My son Eric, a college student at Western adopted Ruckus and worked with him and trained him, they are both home in CT with my husband and I and our golden retriever, Brady. Eric renamed Ruckus to Gambit, we call him “Mr.Snuggles” because he loves to snuggle on the couch with me. He gets along really well with Brady, they run and play in our large wooded property. We play ball & frisbee everyday, he’s really good at it, and I have improved too! He’s still aggressive with other dogs, but we pretty much keep him away from any strange dogs and have careful introductions with friend’s dogs. His coat is now really shiny and he’s filled out, you can’t feel his bones anymore. He is really a wonderful dog, and we are happy to have him in our home. I have pictures if you would like to see him
