The eight new Potcakes have been named with drumming-related monikers in honor of a great drummer who recently lost a long time pal. Seven of them have now been "fixed" (....not that they were broken!) -- except for Ludwig, who has an undescended testicle (yikes!) so has to wait a bit before being neutered. He's still available to be adopted, we'll just get him back to neuter once his manlihood drops in. A couple potcakes have already been spoken for.... Tympani goes home TONIGHT! and Bongo goes to an Abaco-lover in MASSACHUSETTS next Thursday! Another application is pending.... The three 'cakes being fostered here at RPR Headquarters are confined to the greenhouse/foster inn, since it's raining cats and potcakes here! We are sure they will all be popular at Petsmart this weekend, and will find forever homes really soon. Be sure and check out the 'Potcakes Frolic' video on our homepage!! Next update after the weekend adoptions!!

Only 8 puppies arrived, because one was adopted while still in Abaco, and one was met at the airport in West Palm Beach to be adopted! Yay! They all flew in via Delta Air Cargo, with no problems.

The Potcakes are coming, the potcakes are coming! Ten puppies from Abaco are arriving tomorrow at 6 p.m. We'll soon have a bunch of new pictures, and maybe some video too!

The new Blog

This is the new Blog website, to save precious space on the potcake.org website!

We had an interesting run of conversation on the Abaco Bulletin Board http://abacomessageboard.com/, with people posting pictures of their puppy potcakes and then all grown up! So cute! Everyone loves their 'cake! See some of the pictures:

Today was a busy day at the pet adoptions, lots of lookers but we only did one adoption -- Tupelo Honey Potcake. And what a great home she went to, we've already received emailed pictures of her enjoying her new life. This is what makes it all worthwhile! She has come a long way, from Freeport to Florida, from living in a dark crate to snuggling in a new bed with a corgi friend to play with. We took in 2 puppies today that we could not turn down. Someone found them in south Atlanta and they're only about 4 weeks old. Fortunately they're eating on their own so I don't have to bottle feed! One is black and one is brindle, look like little lab mixes. It's a regular revolving door around here!

Well, this morning I had to separate Woody from Norma. Norma is just too laid back for him! He needs another very playful kitty -- so if you have one at home, you might consider adopting Woody!I just ordered the book "Scared Poopless" about caring for your pet, feeding and other health issues. I ordered it because our dog Gracie scared us this past week with bright red bloody vomiting, lethary and diahrrea. After blood work, fecals and other various exams, the vet could not really specify what was wrong with her, and suspects an ulcer. We did some internet research and have decided to change her diet to a raw, dehydrated, human-grade food diet (our other dog Cookie will benefit too) from Honest Kitchen. I'll keep you all posted on the diet and the book!

Today Woody the kitten has come to stay at my house for the holidays. He's pretty spunky, and needs someone to play with, so he's in the bathroom with Norma, our sweet laid-back kitten who is going home on Christmas eve as a surprise present for their 10-year old daughter. Hopefully, in the next few days, Norma will teach Woody all about respecting human hands & not to play-bite so hard! Meanwhile, I hear a lot of thumping going on in there.... I guess I'll check in there in a few minutes to assess the damage to the toilet paper roll.

More news on the kitten front! Three of the Moe's kitties, who you may have noticed are on our Available for Adoption page, are still pretty wild. They were born to a feral behind Moe's on Peachtree, and have not tamed down as nicely as we would have liked -- ie., they're not very adoptable. We have found a horse barn in NW Georgia for them! This is very exciting news for us, because it is very difficult to place feral cats. Cat overpopulaiton is such a problem. Please, please please spay and neuter your pets!
