Cept I reeeeaaaally don't hug that Andy boy, not ever! Nope! Nope! nope! He will not let me hug him! See the picture here: http://www.kwflatbed.com/brenda/news%20andy%20possum3.jpg Andy Here: Cough! Choke! Spit! UGH! Miss Sue what are you doing to my reputation???? My name is Andy; NOT Clark Kent... I do not mess with cub reporters! What have you done to me? Possum Here: what Andy you don't like the picture? Andy Here: Picture? PICTURE? That is a reputation breaker! Oh yeah sure it is a good picture of us but Miss Sue has us looking like we is boy friend and girl friend. NOT!!!! Possum Here: Andy do you think mum is getting a bit chunky? I think she is getting chunky! Andy Here: If I were you Missy I would be reeeaaal careful about calling Mum chunky! Possum Here: Well she is ya know; getting chunky I mean. Andy Here: Possum; you know how I keep telling you to use your brain? Well if you don't stop now, and start using that thing between your ears called a brain, you are NOT going to have one, because Mum is going to take you out... Possum Here: Take me out? where? I like to go out. Andy Here: Man Possum you are not very smart! You Missy do not ever tell Mum she is getting chunky, sides the only reason she is looking; notice I said looking NOT getting-- chunky is because Miss DiAnna, Mr. Bob and their Kritter Craft came to visit; they brought mum all kinds of food that she can eat, cookies, Pizza, tortilla's, brownie mix, bread, rolls, English muffins, and pizza mix, lots and lots of other stuffs, so mum has some real food to eat for a while. Gluten Free; Wheat Free Stuff! Possum Here: Oh you mean all them bags of things mum would not let us get into, is what is making her chunky? Why wouldn't mum share with us? Andy Here: Because Possum; that is human food; we don't eat that kind of stuff, or at least we are not suppose to. Possum Here: Oh I get it, that is why we stay sleek, slinky and beautiful and mum gets chunky. Andy Here: OH BROTHER! You are cruis'en for a bruis'en for sure. Okay Missy we need to get on with the news. As we said the Baker's Kritter Craft dropped by to spend the day with us, Miss Maria and James camed to bring Mum another challenge, her name is Tinker Belle. She was found in the park running around. She was taken to a vet that vet called Miss Maria and Mr James. Miss Maria and Mr. James knows mum works with bitters so they camed all the way to Naples from the Bronx to make sure Tinker Belle got here safe and sound. Mum says she can't be a real biter cause she is not faster than mum, so mum has no bites. Don't fret Miss Maria hee hee; mum saw you had bites so she is just being very very mindful of how she handles that Tinker stinker, and very very fast. The Talledo girls have been here at camp their mom and dad had a break between places they had to go to, so they came the same day everyone else was here, to see the girls before they had to leave again. Phew it was one very busy day for Mum. Breezie was here at camp too, she sure put mum to the test that week. She kept finding places to hide so mum could not find her. She really got mum's fur all in a bunch the day before she left. Mum finally had to get Missy out to find Breezie. Possum Here: Hey Andy that's my story! You can't tell that story it is mine! Me! I am the one that found that Breezie Boo. Andy Here: Okay cry baby! Let me tell one more thing then you can tell the Breezie story. Miss Donna was here the same day everyone else was too. She makes our play yard safe and clean for us to play in and Mums yard so pretty. She brought and planted tomatoes so mum and Miss Donna has real tomatoes they can eat now. She also kept the shelter going and kids moved when mum was busy with shelter friends that were here to visit. Thanks Miss Donna we sure love to make you laugh. Possum Here: Okay; any way it was me that found Breezie for mum, only I did not wait for mum so mum does not know where I found her! I like doing that to mum. Mum was sooooo mad at Breezie boo (she was hiding 6 hours) Mum tore the cupboard apart, took the drawer out from the stove, looked in places mum thought Breezie could not get into but looked there anyway. She even checked all the screens in all the windows even though the windows are high up and covered with hardware cloth. Nope mum could not find her so she asked me to help. Mum calls me the search and destroy kid, I'm not really I just like mum to think so. That way she asks me to help her find kids that are hiding in the playrooms. Breezie Boo actually complained to her mom in a camp letter that I beat her up! UHUMP! I did not!!! After mum came to get her from me; mum got her put away, mum went out to cool off in the pool to smooth her ruffled fur. She was really really ruffled. Andy Here: Hey Possum you think mum was ruffled that day? You keep calling mum chunky and you will find out just how ruffled mum can get. Miss Kristie is back, we worked her real hard when she camed to help on the 6th of Aug. We had a brand new camper.. Munch Walker.. Mum says he is cutie. I was too too tired to go check him out. I get tired real fast and real easy. Mum gets ascared when she sees me panting, but it is the stuff in my chest that makes me do that. If it gets a little bit warm I can't breath. Mum says we need to start a new campaign to get that transfer switch for our generator. That way if we don't have lectric to run our cold air machines then she can just go plug in the generator so we have cold air. Mum says if we loose lectric now during the day then we have to wait till someone that knows how to hook up the generator to the lectric box comes home. Miss Sue has the campaign cartoon all done we are just waiting for Mr. electric man to come give mum a price so we know how much we need to get it done. Oh Oh I am getting mail! I am getting treats in the mail! Thanks for the treats!!! There is going to be a new SOS raffle coming up to help ADV so if you click on the link you will get to see what is going to be there. http://www.supportourshelters.org/SOS-raffle.html Possum Here: Hey Andy it is my turn! Mum has new pictures on the picture site! Thanks Mr. Harry. They are the new kids that have come to stay with us. A friend made us news signs too they are on this site too. http://community.webshots.com/user/lakeroad2 Mum has our shelter account all fixed so now she can take credit cards again on our web site and in the store. Miss Mary; Angel and Lucy's far away mom sent us pictures of her and the girls on clinic day. Thanks Miss Mary. Mum wants Us to get this news out a bit early because Andy is still here and she will be going back to work soon so she thought it would be best to get this out. Oh yeah, Mum is going to Corning on Sept. 17th for a Pet care fair. Mum says I can't go I am too rambunctious. I am not. Okay we need to go. Andy Here: You are too rambunctious! HA! GOT'CHA! Thanks again for all the well wishes and presents you are sending me. I will keep working on this Possum girl to get her ready to do the news without me.
