Barrel is this week's Spike Grooming Adorable Adoptable from the Moose Jaw Humane Society. He s a 4-5 month old male kitten (born the end of June). How handsome is Barrel? One look and your heart will be his! As handsome as Barrel is, his personality is even better. When we pick him up he immediately starts purring and wraps his paws around our necks. He does seem to be a bit of a ladies man and only does this smooth act for the girls. You can't let the boys know you are soft! 

WIST 

The hair in Heaven just got a little bit more stylish!  Carol Marie Wist, a hairdresser for 44 years in the town of Luseland, SK, passed away peacefully in her sleep at Providence Place on Thursday, November 21st, 2024.  She moved to Moose Jaw in 2021 to be closer to her son and his family, and she spent her last months doing what she loved best - having a visit over coffee with people who traveled from near and far to have just one more laugh with this warm and wonderful soul.

It's time for Facebook Friday! I share the best from the best.

This one, "I will never be over the hill. I'm too darned tired to climb it."

I get this, "I'm at the age where if you text me after 9 PM, I'll text you back at 4:36 AM."

This friend shares, "I'm going to start a taxi service for seniors and call it Oldsmobile."

Here's a funny gal who says, "When two people argue online I believe whoever spells correctly."
