Ooooooo Weee! Boy did we have a storm blow in here this week end. Name you say? Hurricane Renee’. See mum got this call on Sunday
morning about 4:30 the person says to mum did I wake you up? Coarse mum says NO. It was Miss Renee telling mum she was almost to the
Buffalo exit, she was going to take a couple hours nap then call Miss Cathy R to have her come meet up with Renee to pick up the DMK kids
that are coming to live here. Mum says Okey Dokey.
At 7:50 am another call comes in from Miss Renee telling mum that Miss Cathy R was on her way to meet up with her, was mum aware that
mum was getting another challenge? (Biter). Mum says yes sir’ee. So, Mum goes about her business taking care of old lady Kay, when mum
gets home she finds Miss Stephanie here to drop off her kids for camp, then Miss Kristie pulls in, she says did you get your messages?
Nope; mum says just got home. Miss Kristie informs mum that Miss Renee is on her way to Naples she will be here about 10:30.
It was 10:25 AM right then. Soooooooo Mum says what is going on she was in Buffalo meeting Miss Cathy R. Well seems Miss Cathy R.
was not aware she needed carriers to bring the kids so there was no way she could take them for mum, Miss Renee made an about face
and came to Naples to drop the kids off. When mum got into the house she found lots of messages from Miss Cathy R. and Miss Renee.
Mum gets some of us kids put away, gets Miss Stephanie kids out in the play rooms and in blows the storm. (We love you Miss Renee)
Miss Renee says the first thing she needed to do is see the “little room” any biters in there? Then mum and Miss Renee went out to the
car to get kids, mum brings the little challenge in first. We think her name is Bloom but we are not sure yet, mum says she needs
to wait for her personality to come through. Anyway Bloom is settled in the store, mum goes back out to the car to see what next.
Miss Renee takes a cage out with 5 kids all snuggled in the hammock looking at us with little questioning eyes. Miss Renee says to
mum pick your 4. Mum says I can’t pick, so they; Mum and Miss Renee decided to take the first four that popped their little heads out of
the cage.
Only trouble with that theory is only 3 popped their heads out. The other 2 held back so Miss Renee scooped them out and held them
up said to mum what one? Mum stood there looking at them thinking how does she choose? They are all in the same cage snuggled up in
the same hammock, and mum is going to tell one of them that they are being left behind?
Mum says to Miss Renee, what one is picked to go to someone? Miss Renee says neither. Mum plucked them both out of Miss Renee’s
hands tucked them into the carrier she was using to take them into the house. Miss Renee says hey that is 5; Mum says hey your right
they will all fit in the one cage I have for them so they do not get separated. That is how mum went from FOUR to SIX DMK kids.
Then Mum and Miss Renee had paperwork to do. Mum got the paperwork done, Miss Renee had a cup of cocoa, then mum got Miss Renee’s kids
out into the play yard for some romp, while Miss Renee cleaned up some cages in the car, then Miss Renee brought a couple of DMK kids
to romp out there too.
After Miss Renee left Mum was in stitches laughing at the new kids jumping and dancing. They are in the
isolation room for now. Mum says they are beautiful kids, she can not wait to watch them bloom into wonderful happy fur kids that
no longer have to fight for food, fight for a place to stay warm or to survive.
So that is the storm that blew in... Mum is so very pooped.
The category 5 crew; they are now category 4; one of the little ones was not exactly happy with the rest of the group, at our the last club meeting we had here, one of the members brought her single D.M.K. kid because he was not fitting into the business she had at home. We discussed maybe Ping and her boy (I do not remember his name) would like each other. So Mary brought her kid to the meeting we allowed Ping and Mary’s boy in the kitchen so we could supervise the introduction. They hit it off, chasing each other in turn and having a blast running in and out of tubes, boxes and under cabinets. They spent their playtime pushing balls and toys under the cabinets with them, Ping went home with Mary and her boy. The report I got from Mary this week is they are doing great and happy together.
