What a great idea Jen. I agree, no news is good news here! Everything is going well here in Dallas. We just got two days of serious rain, which was BADLY needed. My husband and I went to the animal shelter Saturday, in the rain, to adopt another Akita for the one we rescued in the fall. We felt he needed a companion since we're at work all day. They get along famously. We also brought in to the shelter a little brown Chihuahua that had followed us home two weeks ago. He was a really good dog, but deserved to be an inside dog, and plus, our Akita was really too big to play with him. We made a report at the pound, called all the local vets, and checked postings at the two pet stores, but couldn't find the owner. We think he belonged to one of the two families that just moved out of our neighborhood. The lady there assured us that he would be adopted out immediately since people were constantly looking for little dogs. He was adopted an hour after we left the shelter.
While I was at the shelter, I fell in love with this kitten. She looks almost like my Cricket that I lost in November, black with a long, fluffy tail, and very playful. She was really sweet. When I took her out of the cage, she wrapped her little arms around my neck and just purred like crazy. She was SO loving. Unfortunately, she had to have her right eye removed due to what the shelter believes was one of those cat in the car engine accidents. I gave them my number, and they're going to call me as soon as her stitches are out and she's posted for adoption. If she doesn't get adopted out within a week or so, I am going to get her. I told my husband. He doesn't want another cat in the house, as we already have three, but I know when he sees her (he was playing with the dogs when we were there Saturday and didn't get to see her), he will understand. She's a love. I hope everyone is doing well here. And of course, all their furbabies. We all deserve a break from the chaos that is illness. :) Wendy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
