Time to let me know if you want a holiday card, with this year’s featured Crooked Acre permanent resident! Go here to Postable, enter your name and address, and your card will be on the way soon. I am happy to send cards to other countries, this is NOT limited to U.S. residents. (Side note: if you’re in Canada, please still feel free to submit your address. I’ll hang onto your card and mail it once the strike is over!) If you have any problems, drop me an email and I’ll do my best to fix it. I’ll take names and addresses until December 20th.
If you’d like to send me a card as well (never ever required, but always appreciated – I don’t keep track of who does or doesn’t send a card, I promise!), send it to:
Robyn Anderson
1260 US HWY 72E, STE B #130
Athens, AL 35611 USA
(PS: If that link doesn’t work for you, or you prefer not to enter your info (I delete your name and address once I’ve downloaded it), you can email me instead.)

Y’all have GOT to go read the 2015 entry. You won’t be sorry.
That is a good one!

Does Tina ever nap with you on the bed like the kittens?
She’ll occasionally nap on the corner of the bed, but when the kittens are sleepy they like to try to nurse (you’d think they’d have given up by now!) and it makes her mad. Usually she settles in on the cat tree across the room.

You realize you’re not fooling anyone here about Rocco. Go ahead and add him to the permanent resident page. He enjoys a spot in the regular rotation of resident pics at the end of every post for gosh sake. You even posted recently about some recent veterinary visits. What was it? Teeth cleaning? The first step is admitting… 🙂
Nope. I would be THRILLED if he chose someone else to freeload off of the way Trixie did, but he seems determined to stick to our front porch and garage, so we’ll make sure he’s fed and kept warm and vetted, but I don’t consider him one of ours. He doesn’t even live in the house! (Charlie would lose his MIND if Rocco became a house resident.)

What the heck is going on with Tina’s front legs? They look like Elastic Girl’s legs in that last picture.
Tina has lonnng legs for a small-framed girl, and she likes to stretch ’em out!

Richie, loafin’. (Richie loaf? My favorite!)
Carmy in the Chewy box, with his green mousie.
I’ll say again: for a kitten who wasn’t all that interested in Churu at first, he’s certainly changed his tune. Check out that helpin’ paw as he assists me in guiding the Churu to his mouth.
(Although there isn’t a picture of Tina partaking of the Churu, rest assured: she gets more than they do, I make sure of it.)
Full of Churu, Tina settles down for a nap. (Tina loaf! My favorite!)

I wouldn’t say Alice and Khal are BFFs, but they get along okay.

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr/ Bluesky) yesterday.
Tina has perfected the art of the lounge.
Throw Back Thursday: when we were fostering the Vittles kittens, I got out the laser light and the kittens went ::BOING!!::

Tina and Richie are playing, and Carmy’s in my lap for a snuggle (and trying to catch his tail!)
Throw Back Thursday: This was originally written (and posted in the blog) in 2009. It’s a perennial favorite; go read it here.
We have a triple-thlurrrp situation going on here, and I’m giving it an A++++. (From left: Tina, Richie, Carmy.)

It’s a relatively quiet play time in the foster room. Tina really loves to just gallop out of the room!
Good night innernets. (Richie & Carmy)
