Aww........ How lucky she is to be going to such a good home where she will be loved and treasured all the days of her life. Congrats on your new "baby" Lisa!

I'm so happy to read all these happy posts! I hope I have a good post soon, too, but so far it's looking more confused than anything. Maybe the fact it's so hard to decide whether adopting now is a good idea or not is a sign in itself that I'm not there yet. *sigh*, I'm so in love, though.

What is your situation? In love with who?

Lisa - congrats on the new kitty! Do you have a name yet?

Badger - sounds like you're having second thoughts? You have to do what's right for you and your lifestyle. Good luck with the decision.

I worked with Rusty on my own this morning. The vacuum cleaner went well but he has a way to go with the doorbell yet. It's still a big improvement though so I'll take it.

I love your new kitty's eyeliner, Lisa!!!

the second thoughts may be my head talking over my heart. I really want the dog, but I also know my lifestyle may not be conducive to a dog right now. I can probably take her to work a couple of times a week (but in a crate), but the other couple to three days a week she'll be home alone. Then there's the fact I have 2 cats, one of which is 16 and starting to wind down.

I really want to do right by the dog, too. I don't want to get her for selfish reasons and end up with an unhappy dog or one that I can't devote as much time as she certainly deserves.

Hopefully this may be an incentive for me to think of ways to work from home, or at least be able to work only part time.

and I'm so glad you're making headway with Rusty. I commend you for taking on a dog with issues that many people may not want to deal with.

Hey Lisa

what a pretty girl!!! She reminds me of my new puppy's mother's name:
"Wintercreek No Mascara Needed"

SHe looks like she recently had kittens and was spayed...am I reading that belly right?

Emma looks like she is extremely happy to be in your family! How lovely and how lucky she is, and what a pretty name!

Yes, our new kitty has very pretty eyes and eyeliner.
Progress: Pearl and New Kitty sniffed each other today from 2 feet away face to face and did NOT hiss! After a cautious air sniff, they both quietly turned and walked away. A standoff. This was the first non-hiss meeting.

About her tummy... she was spayed about 4 weeks ago and therefore her pink tummy skin is still showing, having had her whole tummy shaved. I'm afraid those are little FAT ROLLS on her tummy! No one at the humane society could tell whether she had had kittens at some point- her nipples indicate not, but she has an appt at my own vet in two weeks for a check up and my vet should be able to figure that out, along with a better age guess.
She was emaciated and sick when the humane society seized her from former owner...but obviously they more than compensated for that over the 3 months she was recovering. There were quite a few 'sassy' chubby kitties there at the shelter. I kidded them about it even. So poor New Kitty has to lose about a pound or so to be sleek and healthy- she is quite heavy and chunky to pick up! From above, she looks too roly-poly roundy.

I'll try to get some more pictures soon- we are so happy with her! DH is now falling under her spell too.
And picking a name is SO hard. Good to get to know them a bit first.

You know about that DAP stuff? The kitty feel good spray? I'm sure you do.
A friend just adopted another girl kitty...she sprayed that stuff everywhere, including on both cats and the process of acceptance went much faster.

Lucky new Lisa kitty!!! Isn't the world amazing...!

Maybe you should call her Luna...

[andtckrtoo]

Lisa - she's a beauty!! I love, love, love her eyes!! You'll get her into shape and she'll be a wonderful companion for you!

Elk - Emma is adorable!! What a pretty girl!

Lisa- Congrats and enjoy the "getting to know you" phase. Tortilla's name came out of nowhere so you will find a name when she is ready.

Elk- What a cutie. Must be the name, my niece Emma is the cutest but biggest PITA. Way more so than her big sister and smart as can be.

Our pound kitty, Tortilla, is really coming out of her shell. She plays with Heidi and has a signature move that I can only describe as a round off. She turns on her front paws and gently kicks Heidi with the back ones. I am slightly concerned that after two weeks she is already getting chubby. We probably should start measuring her food.

Lisa, your new kitty looks like she KNOWS she scored big.
