HAPPY TAILS FOR CHEETO 

Cheeto, aka Cheeto Burrito, aka Sweetie Cheetie, aka Cheeto Mosquito (my mom's endearing name in calling him a pest - hahaha), has done very well with learning his manners, and thru his siblings, has learned to "sit like a good boy" when it is feeding time. My boys have been taught at a young age to not mill around someone's feet at feeding time, and that sitting and patiently waiting is the best way to ensure no mishaps at feeding time. it is so funny, they all sit in their spots, with Cheeto being in the middle - every time - after all, I guess age wise, he is the middle child! He also also learned that when he is finished eating, and the others haven't, he has to keep his distance and let them finish their meal. It is only when one walks away that Cheeto is invited to enjoy the rest of their dinner - 80% of the time he shows restraint, but sometimes the urge is too great and food smells so nummy that he can't help himself!

He has gotten adjusted to the cage (version of a catio) on the balcony and appears to feel quite safe - loving the air. It is a safe spot for my youngest four legged babies to get fresh air without the worry of them being on the balcony alone and potentially doing what kitties do best - jump. I will not take the chance that one of them jump up on the balcony railing and go over - the cage is my way of keeping them safe and I have since "doctored" it to ensure Cheeto - the great climber - can no longer climb the outside of the cage instead of going in it.

I am also starting to harness train Cheeto. Charly has been trained since a small kitten and he regularly goes for walks when the weather turns nice. I am hoping I can do the same with Cheeto, to give him that bit of freedom, but we will see how he does, especially once I get him on the ground. If there are any struggles (Cheeto or I), then he will be a supervised harnessed/leashed cat on the balcony.

Cheeto is a very healthy, big boy! He is loving and his coos and purrs send me to the moon. He purrs when I pet him, he purrs when I pick him up, he purrs when he gets his Churo treat in the evening - he follows me everywhere and he loves napping close to me. I guess he and I bonded, which is a good thing. He was never intended to "replace" my other little boy, but he has filled my heart and taken away the sadness I carried for months after losing Charly's brother. He has brought such joy to our household and lifted the grief for my other boys and the humans too! 

We are so blessed to have Cheeto - I can't imagine life without him!

ADOPTED AND ADORED  

We got the most amazing update about Sprite who was adopted in 2016!! 

Turns out her owner passed away and she made her way to a new owner who loves her more then words and gave this update 

“Hi I have a pup that you rescued in 2016 and wanted you to know she is doing so well and is such a beautiful and loving girl. I rescued her from the original couple that got “Sprite” from you, when that owner passed away.
Her name became Spirit and we are a bonded pair now and she is healthy and thriving. I have had her going on 5 years now!
I just wanted you to have a happy story today and to express my gratitude. 
I just wanted to let you know she is so loved. <3”

We love hearing about our alumni and seeing their wonderful lives! Our hearts are full  

Rocco has adapted nicely in our home. We continue working with basic  commands, as we find his recall lacking if we are out of a fenced yard and off leash. Eventually we will get it but we are progressing. We haven't had any issues other then a typical puppy chewing on everything he gets his mouth on. He is happy and healthy. We are trying to figure out what he might be as we know he's a mix breed. We are thinking pitbull with greyhound and/or great dane. His legs just sprouted underneath him and he's as big as our other dog already, just not filled out yet. And still growing! Super sweet, very submissive to other dogs. Wants so badly to love our cats, who want nothing to do with him. The one cat that did love on him passed away 2 months ago, so it was a bit for him to move forward with that loss. We go to my parents farm multiple times a week, where we can let him run off leash and play as our pastures are fenced in with page wire. Thank you again for allowing us to adopt Rocco.

Happy tails for Calliope and Apollo! They are doing amazing in their #fureverhome 
They love each other and are having an amazing life getting spoiled. We are so grateful

Andy is loving life at his new home! He loves to spend his time napping, playing and cuddling! His favorite activities include people watching from the windows, playing in boxes and with anything that includes a laser or string! He has become our “office cat” as he loves to snuggle up and nap on the desk when we work. He keeps our older cat youthful, they like to play together and chase each other around- Andy loves to follow his big brother wherever he goes. We are so happy he is a part of the family!
