Ms. FOXY has been making her list for Santa Paws and checking it many, many times. Foxy would love a new fleecy coat or jazzy sweater for her walkabouts outside, maybe a dazzling new collar with lots of sparkles…but in the spirit of the season, Foxy has trimmed her list to just the really important things. We could really use some canned food for the dogs and cats who will be spending the holidays at the shelter, wondering if Santa and his helpers have remembered them!
The shelter feeds us really tasty, nutritious dry food most of the time. But some of the new kids, and those who are a bit under the weather, needs the nice smelly “wet” food to entice them to eat. Especially at this time of year, when some of our dogs and cats have been given up by their humans who could no longer afford to keep them or lost their homes, a little extra food or treats helps lift their spirits.
The open cat room is really full of felines right now and some of the kitties have been arguing over which toy belongs to which kitty. So if some nice Elves could bring them some more cat toys, there would be peace on earth–at least in the cat room.
A nice man came to the shelter the other day and made a cash donation to help the animals as a Christmas gift for a family member. The shelter humans gave him a little stuffed ”Clifford the Red Dog” along with the gift card to wrap and put under the tree! Now wouldn’t that be a nice, last-minute gift or stocking stuffer for someone in your family who loves the animals?
The shelter will be closing at noon on Thursday, Dec.24, Christmas Eve and will re-open to the public at 8:30 a.m. on Monday Dec. 28.
To all my fans, both furry and human, FOXY wishes you Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Kwanza, Happy New Year and whatever holiday you and your family celebrate. May your dogs and cats have a nice warm home, full food dishes, and new toys to play with. And hugs and love to make the season bright…
