Lollypop Farm Construction Update

Here's a little update on the construction going on at Lollypop Farm!

This is the foundation for the new "cat patio."  Where the auditorium is now will become the new cat room.  The cat patio will be a place for cats to look outside and for people to look in.  Endless entertainment!


This is the new Training Center wing.  


It won't be long before the new Clinic will have walls going up!  We just set a new record of 54 spay/neuter surgeries today with only three operation tables.  So, the quicker this is up the more animals we can help!


The new barn!  It's so shiny and red!

We can do great things for the animals of Greater Rochester with your support.  Our next big event is below.  I hope you can join or donate!

Outrun the Sun

Outrun the Sun was a huge success for Melanoma cancer research!  There were 588 participants that generated over $54,000.  Quite an impressive feat!

AND THEY ARE OFF!!!  

The walkers assemble

For some reason, they seemed to have taken off just as quickly as the runners

The first to cross the finish line!

Megan crosses the finish line!  But, who is this 508?

Congrats to everyone who organized the event.  You did a great job!

And, I'll see Fleet Feet/Yellowjacket Racing at:

Rocky & Stella's Bogus Journey

The Mango Monster at Tops in Penfield.  Their target marketing segment is apparently me and I did buy the Mango.


Cuidado!  The work continues on the Lollypop Farm expansion and renovation!


This is Stella, aka Lady Meatball.

Congrats To the Couple!

Rachel as the flower girl.  She did a great job.  Must have been all the practice she had at our wedding!


The bride with her uncle and photographer.  Oddly enough, I noticed there are no wedding shots.  So, I guess you have to go to their facebook page to see that portion.  CONGRATS RICH AND ERIN!


Megan and Rachel all dolled up!

The Things I Spend My Hard Earned Cash On...

Not what I intended to pick up the last time I went to Target.  But, this was a bargain.  Benji: The Deluxe Collection with three movies and 3 TV episodes!  


Went down to the Corn Hill neighborhood to check out the art festival.  


Nothing like free food samples.  And yes, it was delicious enough to fight this mob to get to.


The construction at work continues.  He's a pic I stole from the Lollypop Farm facebook page.  They busted through the walls of our current vet clinic as a part of building the new clinic.  

Good stuff and good times...

He dominated baseball and, apparently, my week.

If you like baseball, history, and crazy antics I suggest reading Cobb by Al Stump
