Evening Update

First allow me to help you all out with Ari. The second breed comes from the HERDING group. Anna guessed part Poodle(standard) she is correct. Come on everyone, take a guess.
The Brittany’s arrived and the first thing Murphy did was play in the water bucket. There was water everywhere. I hope Murphy had a good time doing it, his water bucket is now outside in his run. Cookie his playmate is a lady, very cool and calm it seems. I will try and get pictures tomorrow. Spanky knows the kennel routine as he is one of our regular campers.
My neck was giving me some grief today so I rested it. Bob helped me lift buckets tonight since lifting can be a issue right now.
As much as I should stay off my motorcycle, I can’t. Summer is coming too a quick end and the fall/winter riding season will be here before we know it. Shelly and I took a local road trip tonight to Premise Made Candies and Dunkin Donuts for coffee. Shelly a.k.a. “Wrong Way” had to go the wrong way into Dunkin Donuts. I think this is why I love her so much. She does her own thing and we giggle so much when we are together and we always have fun.
I am heading outside to lock up, give my nightly hugs and biscuits. I’ll post tomorrow.

2:11 PM
Good afternoon everyone. I’ve been outside most of the early afternoon. The two Brittany Spaniels arrived and right after Suzanne arrived from No Nonsense Neutering.
We were able to transfer the feral queen uneventfully. The cat went right into the crate with bascially no hassels which was a blessing. We checked the little orange cat and decided it looked like a male. Since we are not 100% sure of the sex we need a universal name. Suggestions are welcome.
I am off for awhile, then back to the kennel. I’ll post later.

Good morning, it’s a brisk morning and you can feel that fall is just around the corner. The dogs all had their breakfast and were out. I am going to try and get pictures later.
We’ve only had one guess as to WHAT BREED COMBINATION IS ARI?(see the post below). I have to say Shelly was right by the look of him but she was way off. I have to admit when Tracy sent me the photographs of him, and before I saw him in person I said she got another Scottish Deeround but no.
Suzanne from No Nonsense Neutering will be here at noon so we can transfer the feral queen to a crate for the next few days. This is going to be very interesting. I never thought welding gloves would come in handy like this. They are wonderful for preventing the feral cats from biting through regular leather gloves when handling them. The little orange kitten seems better. Its eyes are no longer pasted shut, its ears look cleaner and it seems brighter overall. I hope it is heathly enough to get spayed or neutered on Tuesday so it can be re released with its mom, who I think was the pretty palamino colored long hair we had spayed right after she gave birth as she had tons of milk. Maybe when Suzanne is here we can check the sex of the litten orange kitten.
The slideshows are a repeat but keep in mind when I took these photographs 50% of the colony was not neutered or spayed now we have the queen trapped and going to be spayed Tuesday, the little orange kitten and one other calico we rarely see. This was a major accomplishment to get this colony under control.
I am off to PT shortly, Bob is again in charge. Have a great day.
