New Kittens!

Hi,

It has been a long time since I have blogged. I had a really sad thing happen to me. My cat Holly got very sick with renal failure just as the news broke about the pet food recall and we had to put her to sleep. It was very fast. Within a week of her getting sick she was gone. This happened March tenth and this is the first time I have been able to write about it. Holly was such a good cat and we loved her very much. She was a little more than a month away from being ten years old. She is still sorely missed.

Two days after losing her I got a phone call from my father's girlfriend. She told me her daughter had two kittens born on March sixth and wondered if I wanted them. I had not planned on getting another cat right away. She told me that they would not be ready to go until they were nine weeks old. I thought that would be enough time for before getting one. Then I decided to take both of them because Holly spent a lot of time by herself. The dogs would not play with her and she chose to stay to herself and of course come around for loves.

I am glad I made that choice because Hotay and Hash love to play together. We ended up getting them a couple of days before they were seven weeks old. I am not sure why but I was prepared to take them early. We have now had them since April twenty third and they have grown up so much. Of course they are into everything but they really are a joy to have around.

The dogs are even enjoying them. They love Hibbs and Heeks. They sleep with them and cuddle with them too.

When I got that phone call about the kittens I felt that the call happened for a reason and that I was meant to have these guys.

So even though Holly is not with us anymore she is never far from my thoughts. I still have her picture on my computer desktop and I will keep it there for some time to come.

I hope all of you out there are enjoying your pets, anything can happen anytime.

Donna
