Pet Post Issue 53 - Salina Animal Shelter

ANIMAL SHELTER ADOPTIONS
Matilda Jane, aka Tillie, was adopted and brought home on
April 3, 2009. She is a very beautiful tortoiseshell kitty with
lots of energy and lots of play in her. Everything is a toy for
her in her eyes, and I haven’t changed her mind much on that
belief. I laid her down beside me on her first night in her new
home only to awaken shortly to find her sleeping quietly with
her head nestled on the pillow right beside me. I thought that
was awfully cute, but the next time I woke up she was sleeping
from one end of the pillow to the other leaving me with only a
corner for my head. It’s her house!
It took me several visits to the shelter to decide which one to
take home with me, but I couldn’t have chosen more perfectly.
She’s sweet and fun and loving and certainly mended my
broken heart.

Dear Ms. Base & Shelter Staff:
It is my pleasure to inform you all that Lydia, who will turn
four months old this month, was a perfect pick for my home.
She has made great friends with Leonard, the year-old
Golden Retriever, and my two cats, Marjorie Pat who is
ancient and Little Bits who loves to play games with both
dogs. Lydia and Leonard are inseparable. They love riding
in the car and especially enjoy running together in the
country. Lydia may be smaller than Lenny, for right now,
but holds her own with him when they wrestle and romp in
the living room and back yard. They join with one another in
getting into trouble, eat at the same times in the kitchen and
sleep together beside my bed – sometimes on the bed.
Although Lydia is extraordinarily smart (and cute) she is
stubborn and certainly has a mind of her own. She minds
when she so decides, and she chews anything that catches her
eye and looks intriguing. (Sometimes she even chews on the
multitude of toys and bones available to her). After the
destruction of several pairs of shoes, plastic bowls, plastic
bags full of clothes, carpet, numerous throw rugs, napkins
and napkin rings and newspapers and magazines, I
considered super gluing her lips together, but then thought
better of it. Instead I attempt to remember what not to leave
in her path.
Thank you for finding her and making her available to me.
Cordially,
Judy
If you think dogs can’t count, try putting three dog biscuits in
your pocket and then giving Fido only two of them.
