times with their family. Lena stayed all day too. We appreciate you
wanting to spend your holiday with us, Cindy.

So you all got to pig out on good nums yesterday? We did too. But we
won't for long. Canned cat food runs out on Saturday. Uh Oh. If
you're visiting this weekend, please bring some. I know we eat a lot
but there IS a lot of us!

Auntie Candy is ordering $1,005.48 of cat food from Wegmans for us
today. They let us have the 13.2 oz cans for 63 cents. That's the same
as 26 cents for a regular 5.5 oz can, and it's good stuff too. Mommey
can get it a tiny bit cheaper, 25 cents a can, in Waynesboro but she
can't get over the mountains and thru the woods and back here in time
before we go hungry. And mommey never allows us to go hungry.

Nice people - Dennis and Crystal you available? - will pick it up for us
in Fredericksburg on Monday or Tuesday when it comes from the warehouse
and bring it all the way out here for us. And then it'll last about two
weeks!!! I know, I know, we eat. But YOU do too!!!!!

If you can't stop by and bring a case or two, would you mind chipping in
a buck or two?

Rikki's turns up in the funniest places! This isn't our ad, just

Thank you Kathy for keeping tack of where in the world is Rikki's!!!!
Nothing is secret in the world anymore is it?? I clicked on
rikkis_refuge and it went to the picture on flickr and it even tells
what camera mom used to take the picture!!!! Gee I better behave, I
don't want anybody seeing me pulling out mom's credit card and helping
out on that chipin!!!!


Are you Social Media Socially Savvy?
I just joined Diggs this morning. There are so many "things" out there
and so many ways to get the word out about Rikki's and about saving
animals. I just can't keep my paws flying fast enough to do it all. I
need some help. It's ok if you have opposable thumbs or not. I don't
care how many legs you have or how long your ears are - if you can help
me keep up with all the neat new things on the web I NEED YOU!!!!

Also if you're an artist and want some exposure, I need sketches,
drawings, cartoons, note cards, calendars, all kinds of things all about
the animals at Rikki's. Can you draw? How about a daily drawing or
cartoon to share???

What's your talent? Tell me and I bet we can team up with something
good!!!!

Can you wear a Santa Suit, snap a camera, wrap gifts, help distribute
Christmas Wish Trees, there's so much to do and Nanny and me just can't
keep up with it all ... come on board and be a part of Vincent's Heroes
Team!!!


Walker has something to share. It's pure fiction so don't believe a
word of it!!!

Rikki's a portion of the proceeds too!!! Hey, look at the
