Our Loving Boys (Terrors they are) by Geronimo Rubio

Hey everyone. I am reporting today on our Cats who are doing well (As you can see) and just to give you some insight of their daily routine.

Well to begin with, here they are, "The Loving Terrors", Specter & Monster. This is generally what they have planned all day. To eat, sleep and not much of anything else. That is during the day. But at night they are completely "Out of Control".

Does anyone else have this problem...lol...I understand that they are Hunter's, Nocturnal & very Territorial. I also understand that they enjoy playtime as much as we do. But I only wish they would be more playful and active during the day.

They just love to wake us up during the early morning hours by knocking things over, fighting, playing and plain planning their mischievous activities while me, Geronimo Rubio and my fiance, Vicky Ramirez sleep...lol.

Then you got the new addition to our family, Baby. He is generally calm all day & all night long. But I think it's because he is just getting use to the others and soon he will become the Terror at Night that they are...lol.

Oh how we are looking forward to that. But he is sooooooo cute that he will get away with everything less than Murder I am sure of this.

He was a stray on the streets of Coral Gables Florida here and we didn't want him to get ran over so we adopted him into the house and the family.

And then we have the Queen of the bunch, Bunny...Now she is mischievous in her own ways. But she is calm most of the time. We love our pets, they are family 100% and much more. Have you ever thought about Pet Therapy: Thoughts on Why We Love Our Pets, I have and do all the time. I know their very therapeutic and great companions. And I also know they love you unconditionally, always.

I often read books and articles about their behavior like For Example: The Cat Behavior Answer Book: Practical Insights & Proven Solutions for Your Feline Questions, great book and lots of great content for learning more about your cats. Another favorite of mine is Twisted Whiskers: Solving Your Cat's Behavior Problems, it dwells a little bit deeper into their mischievous behavior...lol.

Well thanks for reading and enjoy your day. Please read below to "Save Our Pets" going through some rough times now.

Everglades Corporate Park - IMPORTANT CORRECTION


Dear friends,

While there are many reasons to oppose Everglades Corporate Park, a chemical storage facility is fortunately not one of them. A chemical spill could very well happen on-site -- and impact Everglades wetlands, as well as our drinking water -- but it would happen as a result of construction, not long-term storage. The effect is the same, but the source of potential environmental damage is different.

This does not lessen our opposition to Everglades Corporate Park, and I hope the same goes for you. I deeply apologize for the miscommunication.

Please read the original e-mail, found below my name, and take action against Everglades Corporate Park.

- Adam Rivera

Florida Everglades Pictures, Images and Photos

Imagine the Everglades, a gorgeous expanse of sawgrass that teems with life: alligators, wading birds, perhaps even a Florida panther on the prowl.

Now, imagine Everglades Corporate Park: a proposed 21-acre office park, including high rise office towers, built on top of the wetlands bordering our Everglades.

Imagine pollution from development and traffic entering the Everglades ecosystem. Imagine getting your drinking water from an aquifer directly underneath construction sites.

Everglades National Park Pictures, Images and Photos

Actually, South Floridians don't need to imagine paving over the Everglades to make way for sprawling development and pollution. This is our reality. Everglades Corporate Park could become part of that reality unless we make our voices heard.

Tell Sunrise city commissioners not to build a corporate office park in the Everglades.

Photobucket

The Everglades is a beloved part of Florida's natural legacy. But pollution and development have claimed more than half of the historic Everglades.

Proposals like "Everglades Corporate Park" only push the Everglades closer to the point of no return. One major chemical spill would reach the aquifer that serves as a lifeline to the Everglades -- and also supplies South Florida with clean drinking water.

Click here right now to tell Mayor Roger Wishner and the Sunrise city commissioners to reject Everglades Corporate Park

Sincerely,
Adam Rivera
Environment Florida Field Organizer


P.S. Thanks again for your support. Please feel free to share this e-mail with your family and friends.

..From Barrow Buddies ..

..These 3 little souls have been held over from last week and have been given a second chance. Their time is limited and they are most deserving of loving homes. Serena had been previously indicated as safe in a last update due to a problem with her ID number. Another cat was instead safe and Serena is still available to rescue or adopter. Updates on all other cats are below. Many thanks to all who helped these little souls this past week. Complete list below of new cats in need this week! ..

Please refer to ID/Run numbers when inquiring about specific animals if available.

The wonderful photos of the animals in need are done by Carla and Gayla of Barrowbuddies. They take time in their busy lives to each week to do this and are a true blessing to the Barrow animals.

Sponsors are welcome for any of the animals. Please email satoashley@​.​.​​​comcast.​.​.​​​net (@comcast.net) and we will add any sponsorships to the pleas.

Barrow County is very rescue friendly. Free for GA licensed rescues; out-of-state rescues, please contact the shelter for details. The adoption process does not have to be completed in person. Complete vetting and boarding are available at Four Paws Animal Hospital. Specific adoption Information and hours are below.
**Please refer to ID/Run numbers when inquiring about specific animals if available


CATS: The adoption fee for any cat is $100. The fee includes: spay or neuter, physical exam, fecal exam, deworming, rabies vaccine, distemper vaccine, and microchip. For licensed Georgia rescues there is no charge to pull a cat, but no veterinary services come with the cat. Out of state rescues, please contact us for details. *LAST DAY means the date the cat is scheduled for euthanasia. If we have a cat posted whose last day has passed, that cat should be considered extremely urgent. Please call about those cats immediately as they may be subject to euthanasia at any time. We remove postings on available cats when they leave the building or their adoption has been completed. If you are a rescuer who has spoken for a cat or a person with an adoption application on a cat, do not take offense. We have had rescues and adoptions fall through in the past and we work hard to make sure no cat falls through the cracks.


DOGS: The adoption fee for all dogs is $100. The fee includes: Spay or neuter, physical exam, fecal exam, deworming, rabies vaccine, distemper/​.​.​​​parvo vaccine, and microchip. For licensed Georgia rescues there is no charge to pull a dog, but no veterinary services come with the dog. Out of state rescues, please contact us for details. *LAST DAY means the date the dog is scheduled for euthanasia. If we have a dog posted whose last day has passed, that dog should be considered extremely urgent. Please call immediately about those dogs as they may be subject to euthanasia at any time. We remove postings on available dogs when they leave the building or their adoption has been completed. If you are a rescuer who has spoken for a dog or a person with an application on a dog, do not take offense. We have had rescues and adoptions fall through in the past and we work hard to make sure no dog falls through the cracks.


Want to be added or removed from the mailing list? If you would like to be added directly to the Barrow County weekly list of animals in need + updates, please send an email to satoashley@​.​.​​​comcast.​.​.​​​net (@comcast.net). Also, if you wish to be removed, simply send an email with 'remove' in the subject line.

WHAT ARE THE HOURS?
Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays – CLOSED to the public (but they can still correspond with people on Wednesdays); other week days – OPEN 8-5. Call ahead before coming out around holidays.

HOW URGENTLY IN NEED ARE THE ANIMALS? Call AND e-mail BEFORE 5:00 p.m. on Tuesdays. See contact information above. Generally, animals are subject to lethal injection after five (5) days of impoundment. Injections typically occur on Wednesdays, but because the shelter becomes SO FULL at times, they may occur more frequently. Contact NOW! ARE THERE UPDATES ON THE LAST POST? WHAT ANIMALS ARE AVAILABLE NOW? The following animals are NEW since the last post but may still be “extra urgent” due to their being at the animal control at or beyond their typically allotted five(5)days and/or are owner-​.​.​​​surrendered.​.​.​​​ Such animals are therefore subject to lethal injection at any time.

The shelter is always in need of kitty litter and other items (towels, cardboard boxes that hold a case of drinks, chewy dog treats, etc.!!! PLEASE DONATE IF YOU CAN!!!

THANK THE OFFICERS TODAY FOR THEIR EFFORTS TO WORK WITH RESCUES AND ADOPTERS!!!

Pictures were taken and list was compiled by Barrow Buddies volunteers.

PLEASE REPOST! It's one of the cheapest, easiest, and most effective things you can do to help. People can't act if they don't know.
