Oh NOES! An Intruder!

Dis is me, Cheddar. Sumfin's happened, and I don't like it one bit!

Let me get myself togedder here. Deep breath.
Okay.

So, here's what's going on. Mom went to take the check for the Pet Rescue Raffle fundraiser you all helped us with to the shelter.

We raiseded $151.82 green papers for the shelter, btw. Is dat good? Well, Mom says every little bit helps, and the shelter was furry glad to get the green papers! She says dey are furry happy wif us.

So, anyway, she came back, of course, and she had a big box o'sumfin.

With airholes.

And den she took the big box o'sumfin out on the screened porch.

And you know what I fink? I fink it must have been a cat in the box!

Cause now dere's a strange cat out there! She's all black, with green eyes. And she's all growed up, too, older dan me and Colby.

She's kinda pretty, actually--but she is ON MY PORCH!

Dis is capital-N Not good, furiends! What should we do?

Colby is just curious 'bout her, looking out the window, but I am scareded!

Wot does this mean?!

I am NOT happy with Mom right now!

Pet Rescue Raffle Update!

We have lots of Raffle news today!

First of all, Mom would like to thank all of you who have donated! And so do we! We really appreciate the time and the effort, not to matter the green papers you've given!

Next, Mom now has ALL the raffle prizes in the prize package in hand (some of them took a while to arrive. Delivery has been slower than usual, prob'ly because of all the storms round here lately!).

Mom also has Pet Rescue Raffle fliers printed and ready to go to the local pet shops, as of last Thursday. But she had to fly out of town and couldn't get them to the pet shops then! She was in Seattle until yesterday, visiting our cousin kitteh cats Mira and Rose and our woofie cousin Calvin.

Mom debated whether she should give up on the fliers so that the raffle would end on schedule, but she really thinks that extending the raffle a few more days instead may mean more beans will buy tickets for the big prize package, which means more green papers for the woofies and the kittehs and the buns and the hampsters and everyone!

So, the Pet Rescue Raffle will has been extended! The closing date for donations is now: Friday, September 5th. Everybody got that? So there is still time to donate and get chances to win!

But REMEMBER! Friday, September the 5th is the absolute last day of the Pet Rescue Raffle! That means your last chance to enter and win is coming up fast!

Please help get the word out there to all the animal lovers you know!

Thanks for helpin' us!
