A commentathon for Etoile

February 17 is my 7th Gotcha Day, and I am as happy as ever to have found a wonderful home.

Like every year, I invite you to take part in my commentathon to help buddies who don’t have this chance and are waiting in a shelter.

This time, however, it’s a little different : let me introduce you to Etoile (“Star” in French).

Etoile recently arrived at the shelter that we support with the mucous membranes burned following contact with a corrosive product. She was treated and spayed as soon as she arrived, but that’s not enough.

Etoile, SPA du Haut-Léman — Used with permission of SPA Haut-Léman

After a first treatment and according to the opinion of an ophthalmologist, it’s sure that Etoile will never be able to see again : the decision was therefore made to remove his eyes which are a continuous source of infection and pain. This intervention will finally allow her to flourish and find a forever home. I know she’s not a cat, but isn’t she cute ?

The surgery is expensive, necessary and urgent. I have therefore decided that for every comment left on this article until Friday, February 21st noon (Swiss time), I’ll give 1 CHF to the Haut-Léman shelter for Etoile’s surgery.

I’m counting on you to help me !

New responsibilities

Claire took on new responsibilities at her job, and we wonder if she changed place as well, because she told us she was taking over the school ad interim.

We searched Interim on the map : it doesn’t exist ! It must be somewhere, though, because there are tons of paperwork in there : Claire keeps spreading it on her desk, before wondering how she’s going to file them.

That’s where I come in : I can see she’s thinking, she can’t decide what’s important and what to throw away, so I’m helping her.

I drool on the most important ones, I start shredding the least important ones with my claws and teeth, and then, miracle ! In less than 10 seconds, Claire’s put it all away !

Pixie does the same thing on the IT area : she walks around on a few buttons judiciously chosen on the computer keyboard, and hop ! The work session is over !

We also need to ask for an increase in treats for our new executive assistant positions…
