Thanks to new friends and old!

It is so great to get visitors at the RLRR shelter. We had a very nice couple Andrea and Jeff who spent an overnight at the shelter October 21-22. Andrea is doing a research paper for a school project and has selected to do one on the efforts of Red Lake Rosie.

JEFF & ANDREAGrandpa cat played a trick on Andrea and Jeff. He found a box with pads, and crawled in and went to sleep. When I came back to the shelter the afternoon they were about to leave- Andrea had a very funny look on her face, and she told me they had been looking all over for Grandpa cat as they feared he must have gotten out of the cathouse and ran away... Well I opened a box and there he was as if playing "hide and seek"! He had been there all the time.

GRANDPA CATDuring their overnight stay they took care of cats and kittens and found time to tarp 2 kennels and also put tarps on the front of the hayshed to help keep the straw nice and dry.

JEFF & ANDREA AND DOGSRLRR depends so much on the great help we get from new friends and old. The animals feel so special when guests come. Calypso, a german shepherd who came in with lots of health problems likes to lay on the porch when people are staying in the cathouse. Although she does not want to come inside, she prefers to lay on the porch by the front door but only when there are guests.

JEFF, CALYPSO AND SCOUTWhen Jeff and Andrea left on Friday afternoon we were happy that we had a chance to meet them both. They promise to return and spend more time at the shelter. We look forward to the next visit.

Sincerely, Karen and RLRR
