A Few Upcoming Happy Hours

I know many of you have been waiting on the Bar News, but my time has been dedicated to tube feeding Malibu Rum's pints every 2-3 hours around the clock. They are small and not thriving as much as I'd like them to be at this point. Baby Gronk being the one I am most hopeful for at this point. Tube feeding is fairly easy, but unlike breastfeeding a child... I can't turn to my side, whip my boob out, and feed without ever leaving my bed. It means I'm getting up, heating some water up just to make formula, turning on the light... and then wrapping them up like a burrito, and feeding them. It becomes draining after the first night... trust me. So... I will not actively be trying to post pictures of them until they are 4-6 weeks of age to cause the least amount of stress. Hopefully by then they will be strong, and I have good news to report.

MALIBU RUM will be looking for a new bar. - Her late nights teasing the top shelf males here have come to a close. She will be looking for a bar where she is the head queen, top lush, and joker of the home. If you've been here long enough then you already know SHE is my favorite. She lives to have a very close, emotional, dependent relationship with her person. She loves like no other and gets attached to her 1 person to a degree I've never experienced until her. She is always on my shoulder while I eat on the couch.. and you must be quick because she swipes your food before you can blink! You watch... and you're going to laugh because I warned you about it. She also loves to sleep on my chest and attempt to give you "love you" eyes for hours, so you know she loves you. Don't ask me to explain.. she just loves her main person. Don't get me wrong, she doesn't have issues with anyone, but she LIVES for her main friend. If you put your hand out, she stands on her back feet just so her head can reach your hand... she talks to you, but not obsessively like a few others at the bar. ...but she is head alpha all the way. This is why I think she'd be best in a bar without other cats. I think she can tolerate an older behaved dog that has been around cats, but not if said dog also sleeps on you... I'm telling you she push and bite him out of the way. She is my favorite girl... so she will be the one I am extra picky about. She just turned 3 in September. She will probably be ready in 4-6 weeks, has no health issues, and will be $700-800.

Brandy and Barista possibly looking for new bars in December. I seem to have collected a lot of cats that are related to Guinness, so I am thinking I would like to have some new blood at the bar. Depending on how well Brandy's delivery goes... I may retire her early (just turned 1). Barista is also 1 AND a polydactyl, but has been unable to get pregnant, so my plan is to give her until Nov/Dec and then spay her. Both are super sweet, and if your animal has experience with cats, I think they both could adapt. Barista is a little bit of an alpha, so she may not like another female cat who feels she owns their bar. Other than that, they both are easy going. Barista likes to give a longggg meow when she wants something while Brandy looks for signs that you're inviting her over to pet. I love both of these girls to death and don't forsee anyone else not loving them. They both make it easy.

We are not looking for homes "TODAY" for Brandy and Barista, but I am throwing it out there in case I do decide to spay them (high probability). Both of these young girls with no medical problems will be $1000-1800. I haven't decided.

In the meantime, we will be offering up new pints as well as looking for new spirits to fill our shelves.

Those that get a pint from us really wanted a seat at our bar. We can't predict bad years or good ones... This extremely slow year has left us very stressed as we want to please everyone, but some things are out of our hands. We are working our hardest to become fully stocked again, but the process is not fast (for you or for me). ...so thank you for your patience.
