Moki Update - Ways to help

Last night Orange Boy, over heard me talking on the phone to Beau's mom Cathy. He must have heard our conversation about needing to keep Moki warm, because as soon as I got off the phone, I found Orange Boy had joined the cat warming pile.

:)

As for Moki, he is getting a little restless. He really wants to be able to get up and walk around, and has developed a slight attitude from having to spend his days wrapped in a blanket in order to maintain his body temperature. Last night however, while talking to Cathy, the two of us had a break through. Why not get Moki a sweater to help keep him warm? This would solve part of the problem we are having, since his body temp drops every time we unwrap Moki to eat, it would also allow him to walk around for very brief periods of time. Afte I got off the phone with Cathy, I decided to look into the matter, and discovered, what I think would be the perfect solution to our problem and here it is. Four legged pet pajamas! Ok, so these ones have a doggie print on them, but who cares if they will keep Moki warm? I found a couple of other pairs at Petco and Petsmart, without doggies on them, but they where almost twice the price, so Moki decided he could live with the dog pajamas, if they would allow him to walk around. My boyfriend is at Target right now checking to see if they have a pair. If so, he is going to pick up a pair, and a sweater with a hood to go over the top of them. Let's keep our fingers crossed that Target has them in stock!

As soon as we can find a pair for Moki, we will allow Moki to select the winner of the Fleece Blanket raffle, hopefully it will be sometime tonight or tomorrow at the latest. Thank you so much to everyone who donated an item, or purchased a ticket.
