The Last Seven

 Official appointments end today!!!  Summer off!

Today, seven Brownsville cats are being fixed two clinics.

Three are leftovers from the 11 trapped last Thursday, 8 of whom were fixed Friday at FCCO.

The two boys are being fixed at RAD in Corvallis, while Willow, the little girl is being done at OHSS clinic, along with four from the other Brownsville colony, the one where 26 have already been fixed.  30 fixed there as of today.

At Willows colony, 18 have now been fixed as of today.

Between those two colonies alone---48 cats fixed.  Can you believe that?  From two places.

More blooms on the Butterfly bushes.


Its hot today, be mid 90's or higher by late afternoon.  Someone else is picking up the five being fixed in Salem this afternoon since I have a doctor's appointment.

They will drop them off here.

Also Roddy, a female from same place

And Roddy's two surviving kittens--Willie and Nillie
 When I went to get the four from the colony yesterday, I saw some of the already fixed ones, with those right ear tips.  Here are a couple of them, looking good.

Lastly Willow from the other Brownsville colony.

And the two boys, being fixed at RAD

48 cats fixed from just two places.   The number shocks even me.   That's just two places I've worked.

Happy 4th everybody.

    1. I have to wear a heart monitor I guess, which is very awful to think about because I can't go in the water for two weeks when and if insurance decides to approve.

  3. That is an amazing number to be fixed in a short amount of time. I like your butterfly bush, and it looks like your sunflowers will be blooming soon.

    1. Larger than these. I once did a 200 cat colony. That was at a seed warehouse complex.

  5. Forty eight cats if of even sexes could quickly become 100, and then they could become....well, I don't have to tell you. Excellent work.

    1. THANK YOU Andrew, and for you down in Melbourne, supporting cat fixes way up in Oregon's mid valley. Its astounding to me and makes me feel somehow exotic, international, something. Its an honor!

  6. Well done! The names Willie and Nillie remind me of a neighbor who walks his foster dog daily because he admitted curiosity as to how she got the unusual name of Dally. I said I imagine she was found alongside another pup given the name Dilly, bragging on you after sharing my hypothesis. ~grin~ And it seems likely she won't be rehomed. :D

Last Day at Waldo, Last Thursday

 I left for home about noon from Waldo Lake campground and was home just before 2:00.  It's not a long drive between Waldo Lake and me. ...
