Sunshine, the Bottle Babe from Salbastgeon Suites, Now

Sunshine's people send me photos all the time of the three former bottle babes from the bushes outside Salbastgeon Suites in Corvallis. Employees found them there. I tired to find and trap their mom, to no avail. Will be trying again real soon, however.

Anyhow, Melodie from Sublimity, offered to foster them as bottle babes, then couldn't give them up. I know exactly how she felt. Beanie, Sunshine and Flower now have a wonderful home. And, as this photo of Sunshine, the second one, shows, they're doing great. The first one is for contrast. The first photo was of Beanie and Sunshine not long after I took them in, after receiving a frantic call from a Salbastgeon Suites housekeeper.




Keni and her husband are coming down today. Keni's hubby is going to try to fix my dryer. I'm excited. I never get visitors. Never. Keni's been here once before, when she brought down that by old dresser that had been donated to Recycled Gardens to sell, but never sold. Keni is the one who took in the Leukemia positive torti kitten, who likely will test negative second test around. Keni is Poppa's President.

I don't even know how to act with visitors. I haven't been to Corvallis in awhile and I buy food at Winco. So I think I should have something on hand that at least they can drink, right?

I run low on decent food often now that I live in Albany. I just don't get to the Winco often and cannot justify spending money at grocery stores that cost four times more than the same item at Winco. I talked to at least two Albany council people about that the council should try to attract a Winco to Albany since there are so many poor people here and because Winco is an employee owned company. Workers get good wages and benefits, not like these other expensive grocery stores.

They told me I should shop at the grocery outlet if I can't afford other Albany stores. They don't have a clue, I don't suppose, how reasonable Winco Foods is comparatively and how little real food the grocery outlet offers at decent price. By real food I mean nonpackaged and not highly processed food.

So anyhow, I'm thinking I should take a run to the store this morning before they come since I haven't in a long while and am very low on real food items.

I also need to clean and wash my car and get Suzy and Gray Hulk to their new home. The people interested in Candy have contacted me back and filled out the adoption form and we're just going to set up a time they can come meet her. I am so hoping it works out. It's no life for her, living in a bedroom.

  1. I like Winco too.

    Regular devil-cat expression on the mop biter. I just published some devil dog photos of my site (last night), but for some reason blogger won't publish them until 12:30 this afternoon.

    Thanks for your comments to my blog. I agree with the one about finding your own purpose. Most of the other comments were by a Catholic who is very into his theology, so he and I often disagree.

  2. I figured, Snowbrush, about the radical Catholic, that is. I have no clue what's out there, in the great beyond, nor will I ever. Those who think they do I believe rely on writings from people long ago, who had even less to go on. So, I think there is an arrogance to much philosophy and especially religious philosophy. But to each his or her own.

    well, you will one day Jody, when you reach the great whatever lol....But writings from long ago are often helpful even if not totally accurate. That was all people had back then - no internet, no t.v.s, no virtual communications....writings such as the dead sea scolls contain a wealth of information - the problem is, how to interpret this information. even scholars today don't agree on the various interpretations...

  4. Well how are they going to know a damn thing, those people of yore, if they didn't have the internet, I say. Hahahahahaha. Everything you read on the net is absolutely truthful, you know. Wink, wink, wink.

  6. I'm very happy to see how well the Bottle Babes have done. Sunshine looks fine and feisty! A very good job done by you and Melodie there. Looks like Candy hit the jackpot with her new home too!
