One Can Never Have Too Many Mousies!

I Have Exciting News To Share From The Bridge!

Today is mom's Birthday and I would like to start off my diary from Heaven by wishing her a purrry happy celebration and many many many more Happy and beautiful Birthday's to come... Love and miss you meowmy!

Here comes the exciting news!!! My family is getting a purrry special gift (mom's Birthday pressie) this evening and I would like to share it with you... I bet your wondering what mom received fur her Birthday?!?! Well, when daddy asked her what she wanted fur her special day, she replied with "I don't want anything such as jewelry, perfume, etc... I would like to give a little Shelter kitty a happy home "In Loving Memory Of Kashmere." Well, her Birthday wish came true and our pawrents officially adopted a little baby boy yesterday. He's a long haired Tabby and mom named him *TRUFFLES* Mom and dad went to the same Animal Shelter where mom adopted Kashmere 8 years. They filled out the application (it was last Friday) and this past Monday, mom received a call from the Shelter, letting her know that she was accepted to adopt. On Wednesday afternoon, mom was getting ready to leave work and shortly before, the Shelter left a message informing her that there were 3 babies surrendered that morning. Mom called daddy immediately to share the wonderful news. As soon as she came home from work, they were both on their way to the Shelter. The lady in the office called fur another girl to take them into the back to see the babies and as soon as mom saw Truffles, she knew in her heart that he was the one. She had no idea if it was a boy or girl and it didn't matter. My pawrents then walked over to the lady in the office and told her that they wanted to adopt the Tabby (there was only one). They then went into a special room so that they could start bonding with their new baby. At first he was purrry nervous and scared but with love and reassurance, he began to feel more comfortable. Yesterday, meowmy and daddy were at the Shelter while Truffles was being tested fur Feline Leukemia/Aids and thankfully, he's"negative." As you know, most Shelters will NOT release their babies without having them being neutered first and this is the way it should be. Truffles is approximately 9 weeks of age and has now received his first distemper shot and has also been wormed. Mom & dad will be picking him up from the Vet Hospital this evening at 5:50 pm. Mom will also be taking Truffles to our Vet fur an additional check-up and to have his own records from Dr. Wray. Please be sure to stop by to welcome baby Truffles to Catsterland and to your new family. I am so honored and touched that my pawrents adopted as little kitty who needs a home in Loving Memory Of m. He even has the same gorgeous Tabby markings and long fur. In case you're wondering... yes I had something to do with Truffles finding his furever home with my beautiful family. He will be a purrry happy and lucky kitty just as I was, along angel Kashmere and my other siblings.

A Message From Barbi:

It has been very devastating for me after losing my beloved Picasso and suddenly, my little girl Kashmere and I wanted to do something special for my angel Kashy. I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful Birthday present than this little baby and Rob has been there every step of the way. Truffles was adopted from the same Shelter as Kashmere and I do believe in my heart that she sent this boy to us, just as Picasso sent us his daddy, Monte Carlo. There is no set time when one should adopt after losing a pet... Your heart knows when you are ready because that special little guy or girl lets you know. A part of me died when I lost both Kashmere and Picasso and that void could never and will never be filled. I did take a look on Petfinder here and there, but nothing came about so I knew it wasn't meant to be during those searches. Actually, this was the first Shelter that I filled out an application (last Friday) and had planned on visiting with other Shelters as well. When a person adopts after losing a beloved pet(s), we're not trying to replace them, as each and every pet has something special about them that could never be replaced. It's all about giving your new baby or adult a wonderful and loving home. In my case, it was "In Loving Memory Of Kashmere." This is such an exciting Birthday for me, as I never thought that I'd be bring home a baby on my actual Birthday! We're looking forward to bringing home our little baby tonight and everything is all ready for his arrival.

Thank you again to everyone who has been there for me during this sad and difficult time. Please always know how greatly I appreciate your love and friendship.
