Even the mighty-mites have to work!

Every year we close the rescue shop on Black Friday and do a 'deep cleaning event' from front to back... 

Because most shelters close at least one day a week to do this kind of thing - and we run 7 days a week - this gives us an opportunity to tear everything down to the bare bones, scrub, clean and reconstruct our gated areas, condos, cribs and other areas... 

Not able to trust leaving Atom2 alone for however many hours it would take yesterday, he had to come with me to the rescue shop... 

And until you actually see him in person, hold him in your hands and watch him walk, poop and everything else he does, your brain cannot wrap itself around just how little he is... 

On Thanksgiving he turned 9 weeks old... When fed, he weighs 10.5 ounces...




Prior to eating he is still at 10 ounces... 

Because he can simply walk through a baby gate, we needed to find a piece of Plexiglas to keep him safe in a small area in the office... And throughout the day he marveled the volunteers who peeked in on him, held him and just coo'd over him... Many of the volunteers teared up when holding him - he is just that tiny and truly a miracle of God... As one volunteer said, "How can anyone say there is no God when you see something this small?"...
