United Paws’ Kittens of the Week: Dog Buddies

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: Coastbbqfree@protonmail.com – Click to email about this post
Are you seeking a feline friend for Fido? If so, meet Woody, Hank, Joni and Molly. These fabulous kittens currently cohabitate with dogs in their foster homes and will settle into any household with friendly animal companions.

Woody, about 14 weeks old, loves to play with other cats and dogs, and will gladly interact with everyone and everything. When playtime is over, Woody will climb up behind you and wrap himself around your neck, providing very comforting purr-therapy!

Hank is comfortable with dogs, cats, and even rabbits. About 16 weeks old, he considers his fosters’ dogs to be his friends, regularly head-butting, grooming, and playing with them. Hank loves to climb tall cat trees and sees himself as a mighty hunter, spending much of his time playing with wands, balls, and anything he can chase! Hank has learned to love a lap, so after playtime you may find him curled up in yours. To view videos of Hank in action, check out his YouTube playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLe3xY_E-Uj2ZBL2wmbWPdfyCHO_B_YD9H

If you are looking for a snuggly, mellow, loving kitty, Joni is your girl. She is about 11 weeks, and has a relaxed, laid-back personality. She’ll play for short periods of time, but then is ready a warm lap and a nap.

Molly, on the other hand, is independent and on the go, leading the play activities. About 16 weeks old, Molly is curious and likes to explore new things. She can play hard, but she also loves to snuggle and is quick to purr.

You can learn more about these kittens and others available for adoption at unitedpaws.wordress.com. You can also complete an adoption application and get pre-approved. Once pre-approved, you can schedule a “Meet & Greet.” You can also email unitedpawsapps@gmail.com or call United Paws at 503-842-5663 for more info.

What will DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) do to Social Security? DOGE is a new agency under the incoming Trump administration. We hear that Social Security will be bankrupt in a few years and the age for collecting full benefits
now is 67, and keeps rising! Elon Musk has proposed putting social security funds in the stock market. This was proposed about 50 years ago, but nothing came of it.

Senator John Kennedy Rep, from Louisiana reveals massive fraud in Social Security.

1.3 billion dollars has been sent to dead people, and THOSE CHECKS ARE BEING CASHED.

2.9 trillion dollars was the value of improper payments from social security since 2004

6.5 million is the number of 112 year-olds on social security

Here in this video, Senator John Kennedy Rep from Louisiana
explains how trillions of dollars have been stolen from the social security administration. There are many retirees living here in the area including me. We all need to know this.

Storm took skeleton’s Santa hat

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

The Friday 13th storm took away my skeleton’s Santa hat in Wheeler. Oh no! It’s cold, n stormy. A bare skeleton needs warmth (and Christmas spirit) The hat could be anywhere. Those winds, hail, and rain were fun and awesome … and the hat went for a ride. Somewhere.
Maybe a Mermaid will find it in the river?
Maybe a Salmon has decided to wear it?
Maybe a Bird has a new warm nest?
Maybe a Coyote is sporting it and is the envy of it’s buddies (maybe The Coyote added the word ACME to it to chase after a Roadrunner?)
Maybe it’s perched atop an Elk’s antlers?
It’s likely gone. But perhaps You’ve seen it blowing past?
Or perhaps somebody with a little Bit of Grinchy spirit of the season has a spare hat or scarf they’d like to keep my skeleton warm with? Feel free to adorn my skeleton at Spruce and Hwy 101. You’ll see the skeleton shivering on the porch.
Thank you in advance for laughing along with me, and having fun! Stay silly. Have a magical and beautiful day! Jon

The final weekend of our Holiday Bazaar begins Saturday at noon. Certainly you wouldn’t want to miss out the chance to shower your loved ones with the best locally made arts and crafts on the North Coast. Plus, shopping locally gives a lift to creators in our community.

We’ve got everything from jams to jewelry, woodwork to watercolors, candles to cards and so, so much more. The photos don’t do this show justice. Come on down and see for yourself!
