Today in memory of Zippy cat
Today is a Sponsor a Day in memory of Pam and Marc’s cat friend Zippy, who they still miss everyday. The majority of CSNW supporters, like Pam and Marc, probably share their lives with companion animals.

Today was “fill the tub with water” day. We thought it would be fun to throw some of the forage in the tub. Apparently we do not know much about the buoyancy of fruit, because we figured grape tomatoes would float. They sank right to the bottom, and this turned into “accidental” enrichment for Missy…
