Pinky

Pinky (formerly known as Mittens) is an amazing little guy……with 6 extra toes!! He was found at a dump, with some of his whiskers cut, and a wonderful person rescued him and took him to Red Lake Rosie's Rescue. He is now in our home as a foster kitty, but we are starting the process to adopt him!

PINKY AND HER GIRLMy daughter, who is 2, saw him for the first time…and said “His name is Pinky”…so we stuck with it!

PINKY AND HER DOGThe first day he came to our home, the entire family (including Kinzi, our 75lb yellow lab) fell in love with him!!

PINKY'S BLANKIEPinky was in our home for only a few hours, when my husband and 16 year old son came to me and said, “You are not giving this guy away, We are keeping him!“ I was so excited, because I too had fallen in love with the little guy, extra toes and all!!

PINKY'S REPAIRED HIPHowever, the poor little guy had a limp that we noticed right away. When it didn’t get better, we brought him to the doctor, and found out he had a broken hip and would need surgery. He has now had the surgery and is still limping but getting around amazingly well!! Hopefully within the next couple weeks, Pinky will finally be able to live a normal pain free life!

PINKY RESTINGEven with his broken hip, Pinky has been hilarious to watch as he plays with the dogs tail, and chases the toys that my daughter is playing with. He has the most gentle personality I have ever seen in a cat, and I think he is just happy to have found some people who love him.

PINKY AND GIRL CUDDLEHe loves to cuddle, and purrs so loudly that you can hear him across the room! He is only 4 ½ lbs now…but he LOVES to eat!! He sits, with the dog, under my daughters legs at meal time and he even tries to get up on the table for some grazing!

PINKY'S TUNNELThank you so much for bringing us this precious kitty! He has been a wonderful addition to our family, and hopefully soon we can officially call him “ours”!

Dani & Fernando visit

DANI & FERNANDO AND DOGSIt was great to have Dani and her friend from Argentina, Fernando, visiting Red Lake Rosie's Rescue August 3-4, 2010. They did a lot of work with all the various puppy litters we had including stripping puppy pens and putting fresh cedar chips down, watering and feeding animals, and bathing puppies many of which had mange.

DANI & WOBBLESDani became especially attached to the little orphan puppy, Wobbles, who was found on the highway and only about 3 weeks old. He made the journey to the Twin Cities, but began having seizures and died. We take comfort that he died in loving hands.

FERNANDODani used her expertise in veterinarian care and shared that she starts vet school this fall. Fernando is also off to school this fall and was helpful with all the heavy work. On Wednesday they left early after helping with the morning chores.

PATTONPatton was headed to Tricounty Humane Society.

PEANUTPeanut came in VERY matted and left with a haircut and a nice bath bound for MARS foster care.

BARBIEBarbie, the pomeranian, was also found wandering along the highway and went to MARS.

MITTENSMittens, a darling orange and white juvenile kitten with extra toes, was found at the Ponemah dump and has headed to a RLRR foster home.

Thank you Fernando and Dani for all your hard work and dedication to the animals! Thank you to Tricounty, MARS, and RLRR foster caregivers.

TRANSPORTA NOTE FROM DANI:
We had a wonderful time helping Karen out and she could not have been more welcoming and hospitable toward us. She even made us dinner with veggies from her garden! YUM! Thanks Karen for all of your hard work! You truly are an amazing woman and someone to look up to.
Sincerely,
Dani
