Hello Friends. Today’s post is about some gifts that have come to Winnie’s Wish recently. However, one of the gifts should never have happened and I’m completely embarrassed about it. Embarrassed, . . . but NOT disappointed. :) First of all, we are in the month of May. It’s my... Continue reading

Another Wisher is gone. Angel died on Saturday. It was not a surprise. There is so much to say about Angel. WHAT a character she was! There’s just nothing “average” about Angel - from her rescue to her initial days here to her “way of life” at Winnie’s Wish. She... Continue reading

I am writing again with sad news. I sure wish I wasn’t. This time, I seriously did not feel like writing. But I have never failed to write a blog post for one of my sweet fur babies at their passing. Today I will be writing about two. Forgive me... Continue reading

I wish I could have posted this last week. We have been in the middle of a nightmare. Younger Daughter had her baby at the end of February and she has been in the hospital ever since. Things have been really bad several times over. So getting on the computer... Continue reading

I lost a Wisher a couple of weeks ago. At the end of my Valentine’s post I said that I would be sharing this loss on the blog the next week. But then – I lost my dear friend Andrea. Time sort of stood still for a bit there. Andrea... Continue reading

As most of you know by now, Andrea passed away this past Friday morning. She has been battling health problems for a while. The holidays were especially rough for her with a couple of bouts in the hospital. Then she went back into the hospital the very end of January.... Continue reading

Wanted to wish everybody a Happy Valentine's Day. I have, however, some sad news from Winnie's Wish. I will post next week about the most recent Wisher who has gone to the Rainbow Bridge. Continue reading

My animals are constantly being cute and entertaining. I find them in pairs and groups of three all the time. Most of the time I don’t snap a picture, but sometimes I must – because the cute factor is just way too high. Some of these guys are my own... Continue reading

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Ours was delightful! Winnie’s Wish was blessed with gifts from some beautiful Friends. June, I know there’s another case on the way but wanted to get this into today’s post. June – THANK YOU. Most of this gift is specialty food that is... Continue reading

Andrea is home and doing better. It was nice that so many of you commented about her. I want to thank Karen for her paypal gift. It’s a huge financial responsibility caring for the cats of Winnie’s Wish and I’m deeply grateful for the help. Karen - THANK YOU. Also... Continue reading

Let me start this post with a thank you to everyone who left such kind comments about the loss of our Amelia. Your comments were truly gifts She’d been here so long. It’s very strange for her to not be here. I found a picture of her from Christmas 2015.... Continue reading

I wrote this in March of 2010: I'm up early in the mornings. I stagger into the kitchen, get some breakfast, and put on the coffee. Amelia immediately joins me on the kitchen counter to see if she can assist me in buttering my toast. How about playing with the... Continue reading

Hello Friends of Winnie’s Wish (if there are any of you still out there). I sure hope this reaches a few people who used to read here. I blog SO very seldom now that I know folks have stopped checking. But we’re still here! Winnie’s Wish is just as active... Continue reading

In July, I wrote a post with the same title as this post – “In Memory of a Wisher.” There is a wonderful person who adopted FOUR Winnie’s Wish cats many many years ago. These Wishers have been living The Good Life with Melissa for 9 years. Circe passed away... Continue reading

My life has changed quite a bit since the days of regularly rescuing cats (and dogs). For years and years I actively pursued needy animals, sometimes taking them out of bad situations, sometimes trapping them (which often took days, weeks, or even months in some cases). Those were the days... Continue reading

If you didn’t read yesterday’s post you’ll want to go back and start there. Otherwise, this won’t make much sense. This next chapter is when things got really weird. That evening when we checked, the nest with the two big baby birds had only one big baby bird. We looked... Continue reading

A Wildlife Wednesday has always meant that I am writing about Older Daughter’s wildlife rehab. But today I’m telling a story about some wildlife, specifically birds, living in the wild but with a little help from me and my family. The story starts simply enough, but every single day we...

Hi Friends. I’ve explained here at daily dose why I haven’t been blogging this winter/spring. There were lots of family health issues that just kept coming. One of those issues was a long roller coaster ride with my older daughter. She is the one who has Wild Angels Wildlife Rehab.... Continue reading

As I said in my last blog post, I’m not going to miss a chance to thank a Winnie’s Wish supporter even though I’m not blogging much right now. The number one supporter of Winnie’s Wish is someone you all know and love – Andrea of Celestial Kitties. Andrea knows... Continue reading

I keep thinking things will slow down a bit around here and I’ll have time to write about some of the kitties here at Winnie’s Wish. Surely that will eventually happen. Until then, I certainly won’t miss a chance to give a big thank you to someone who supports Winnie’s... Continue reading

Hi Friends! Not sure how many of you will even see this. I’m sure you’ve stopped checking the daily dose blog because I haven’t posted since the beginning of January. There have been a series of family health issues that have come nearly back-to-back. Blogging had to go by the... Continue reading

Hello Friends! I hope you all had wonderful holidays. And now here we are as another year begins. I’m going to announce the results of Andrea’s Auction in this post today. But first I want to thank some other friends of Winnie’s Wish. The year ended with Christmas gifts and... Continue reading

Hello Friends! I’m not normally posting Wildlife Wednesdays to my blog in December. Older Daughter’s Wild Angels Wildlife Rehab is at its busiest in the Spring and Summer with lingering issues into the Fall. But today I’m going to write about a desperate situation with an old opossum and a... Continue reading

It’s Christmas! I hope that you are enjoying your holiday season whatever you celebrate! My holiday always includes animals (of course)! This year I had zero cats trying to climb the Christmas tree. They DID chew on the branches and knock a few ornaments off, but nobody actually climbed the... Continue reading

You are all very much aware that Andrea had her holiday auction to benefit Winnie’s Wish. It just finished up on the 10th. Well now guess what? She’s doing a raffle! Andrea’s sister crocheted a gorgeous cat blanket and Andrea is doing a raffle which will benefit Winnie’s Wish! I... Continue reading
