Submitted by Bethany Clark, Wellness & Activities Manager Today we honored our mothers and “Marmee” from the book, “Little Women”. We took “Marmee’s” lessons and teachings from the book and applied them to what mothers teach their children.

I spoke to a college ornithology class about birds a few years back. I think my talk went over well except for my woodpecker recipes. I have had a great fascination with birds since I was very small. I wanted to grow up and be a waterfowl biologist as dad and I floated the Big Piney River in the fall, sneaking up on wood ducks and mallards and many other species of wild migrators.

This week’s featured kitty is a gorgeous long hair calico named Cupcake! She is a young adult and was an indoor/outdoor kitty. (Of course, with her long hair, she’d do better as an indoor cat.) Her owner, a military veteran, unexpectedly passed away earlier this year so she’s looking for someone to give her love and purrs to.

Our dog of the week is a big, busy boy named Hoss! He is a lab/ shepherd mix with a great personality and lots of energy. Hoss is between one and two years old, housetrained, and knows basic commands.
