Before she died, she took pains to crawl to all her favorite places and gather up all her balls (she never went anywhere without one). She chose the place, and the things she wanted near her. Even though I can't prove it, I know that she knew I was there, as your little Ellie did I am sure. They have a way that we just don't understand...
Oh that is such a touching story, her gathering up her toys! Reading it brought tears to my eyes.

I have been visiting two local shelters over the past couple of days, have spent time trying to get to know about 60 or 70 homeless kitties.
We have applied to adopt one kitty in particular. Now I must wait another 1-3 days while the Humane Society calls all my references to check on me before the new kitty can be released to us.
I know Ellie and Lydia would both approve. There has been so much sadness for the past seven weeks here. It's time to help a new kitty in need and move from sad farewells to new happy beginnings. If the adoption gets approved (no reason why it wouldn't) then I will introduce our new furbaby in the "Show us your Pets" thread.
