Hello!

Thank you for the postcard 😊

Stag has been the perfect addition to our family 💖 He’s been renamed Freddie by our 2.5-year old, Simon.

Freddie is very social, and enjoys being in our company! Simon and Freddie play “doctor”, drive/chase toy cars, and read books together in Simon’s fort. Freddie loves to curl up in bed with my husband and I, as well.

Freddie LOVES food! We learned very quickly not to leave a loaf of bread out on the counter haha 😂

Freddie fits right in with our family, and we feel incredibly lucky to have him as our first pet ⭐️

Thank you, HBSPCA !

Hi There,

Thank you for the postcard. Pepper is doing fantastic. She has adapted really well. We have attached a Christmas photo of her. 

Thank you and Have a Safe and Happy Holiday Season.

He’s doing really well and has definitely come out of his shell. He was nervous being outside but now he’s running around like crazy and loves chasing his toy that we tied to the end of a broom!

He is snuggly and super smart. He’s already mastered sit, which he does before everything (going outside, getting his meals, etc.). And potty training has been great – he hasn’t had any accidents overnight, and only two in the house so far. He’ll see the vet this week for his rabies shot.

We all love him and are working hard to socialize and train him so he grows up to be a happy, confident guy! Thanks again for trusting us to care for him.

Hello,

I received your post card in the mail, and I appreciate it! So this email is updating you on how Blue is settling in with us.

Blue has really found her place in our home, she’s really taken to us and our other cat, Demon.

She’s completely comfortable with us now, and she’s a huge suck! She has some cat-titude, and it’s great, she’s really fun to have around.

Our other cat Demon has become more playful than ever since she’s arrived, and they play often!

I’ve attached some photos of Blue below, thanks for letting me update you!

Regards,
Leslie

Good afternoon,

 Thank you for the post card.  Just wanted to let you know that the birdies are fine and are used to their cage.  By the way, I have renamed them Pete and Tillie.

 They are very active – always on the move.  I think that they are happy in their new home because they are continually chirping.

 I have attached a couple of photos of them.  It’s very hard to take a good photo since they are usually jumping from one perch to another.

 Have a great day and stay safe.

Peace and joy,

Francesca

I hope you’re doing well! I just wanted to send you an update to let you know that Mashed Potato is settling in very well to his new home! I’ve re-named him as Gary, but I’m keeping Mashed Potato as a nickname because it sounds so adorable. He’s definitely a very friendly and adventurous little guy, and he’s already getting to know our other two cats. His neck seems to be healing well, and aside from a bit of scratching around the area, he doesn’t appear irritated at all. I have made a vet appointment for him to get his FVRCP and rabies vaccines in mid-September, so all is well on that end too! 

It has been over a month since I last wrote. It is hard to believe that Cello gets even cuter every day and is such a huge part of our family. She is crazy smart too. She can actually see me grab a book to read and runs from under my desk to beg to sit on my lap. She knows the routine and I don’t even have to look at her….and honestly I miss some days and randomly do it at different parts of the days. She won’t completely lay on my lap until I put on my glasses. Way too smart of a dog.

Vet visit was fine. We got a 6-month supply of heartworm and anti-flea treats so she is fine. She’s only had the 2 episodes of being tired/withdrawn so it seems only related to very long walks and the vet isn’t worried.

I’ve attached a few recent photos. We’ve tried some interaction with other dogs in the park and she is great with them, which is awesome. We just celebrated Cello’s 5^th birthday yesterday and got some birthday treats from the store

Hi there!

Back in May I adopted three cats from HBSPCA through the barn buddy program. I just thought I’d send in a little update!

First is ‘Daddy Topps’ an orange male who had a couple name changes but we have settled on ‘Oliver’. Second is ‘Sara’, a female orange tabby who is now ‘Penny’. And third is ‘Rooter’ a solid black male who is now known as ‘Loki’.

I’d just like to say that these three are absolutely amazing and thriving in their farm life! While Oliver is still skeptical of humans, he has made a lot of progress and I know in the future he will be enjoying cuddles and pets like Penny and Loki do. Each have their own unique personality, and as a trio they are truly entertaining to have around the property!

Thank you for all that you do, and for giving barn cats a chance to find their perfect homes!

Thought I would let you know how Pepsi is doing. He adjusted into the apartment very well. And we had just started to introduce him to our dog who absolutely loves him. Pepsi loves his cuddles, his kisses and loves all the attention he gets.

He just a spoiled baby over here! 

Just wanted you to know Ivy is settling in just fine. As we suspected she just has some high lab energy to be burned through appropriate activities. She loves walking laps at the park.

She also has a small measure of separation anxiety which I believe will be muted once she gets used to us coming and going on a regular schedule.  That being said, I think she may be part rabbit or kangaroo.  When my daughter left after a visit yesterday, Ivy actually jumped from the floor to the top of my work desk to get to the front window to watch her leave. No worries, she was careful not to knock over the laptop, second monitor or work papers. I may have to re-arrange the furniture so that she has a safer vantage point to monitor people coming and going through the front window. 🤣

Anyway, I have to get back to work. Just thought you would appreciate the update and the attached picture of her chilling.
