A visit with the 'PEAS."

[rg_girlca]

Yesterday, I had a very nice visit with Carol and her family and of course with Sweetpea and PeaPod. I didn't realize how emotional I would be, but when I first saw SP, I got chocked up inside and had LES and then when Carol brought PP to me, well, talk about more LES.

Let me tell you people, when I first laid eyes on PeaPod, my jaw literally dropped. :eek: You won't believe the size of this guy at only 9 months old.

They have both grown and have such lovely soft thick fluffy fur. Sweetpea is still a little Princess and such a love bug. A real mama's girl. PeaPod is still the center of attention and just loves it when company comes over.

Okay, enough talk, on with the pictures.

This was such a pleasant surprise and brought on more LES. Carol takes art classes and presented me with these pictures that she had done of SweetPea and PeaPod. I was so overwhelmed by it. I think she did a fantastic job.

I hope you enjoyed seeing the "Peas" again as much as I did. :D

[moosmom]

What BEAUTIFUL babies they are!!! It's so hard to believe PP is so big at just 9 months. :eek:

[Laura's Babies]

OMG! :eek: Those pictures she painted are WONDERFUL! I think I would have just sat there and cried like a blubbering idiot when I saw those! WOW! WOW! WOW!

It is so great to see the Peas again and little Pea Pod has grown into a giant! A mighty handsome giant! Can you believe that is our little Pea Pod?

I always did think SP was a beauty and she looks like she has bloomed in her new home.. She is still ever so lovely!

I think the new humans of the Pods are ever so grateful that you selected them as the new purents of the Pods and are so wonderful at keeping you updated and informed.. Do they have all of Pea Pods baby pictures?

[Craftlady]

The two of them look so at home :)
Love those art photos.
PeaPod hasnt missed a meal :)

WOW! What a great visit you must have had. You did so well with these two babies! And what a wonderful forever home you found for them. I cannot believe how big PP has gotten! :eek: And only 9 months old!

The pictures Carol painted are gorgeous, and I know that you will treasure them forever! What a great family!

[critter crazy]

The Peas are looking Fabulous!! I would have cried like a big baby!! It is so great that their new owners keep in touch. Great pics I loved them!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Oh, MY!!! What wonderful pictures!!! :D :D :D
Just what I needed to see!!!

I hope you kissed them both tons of times for us!!! :D

[Freedom]

Such a happy time for everyone -- you, them, the kitties, and all of us here on PT! We get to share through your terrific pictures, thank you for keeping us in the loop!

Those presents she made for you, OH MY! Sweet Pea as the regal lady she is, and PP in the dishes, well, he IS a kitten and bound to be in SOMETHING! What a nice thread. Thanks so much!

[aki]

they are almost like twins, cept one with black and one with gray

[jazzcat]

Oh wow!!!! PP is HUGE!

The pictures are beautiful. I know you must be thrilled with such a wonderful gift. It's great to see your rescues so happy and healthy. Looks like they are in a wonderful home!

[orangemm]

OMG, they are beautiful! Hard to believe that SweetPea was once a castoff on the street and you "poofed" her. Luckiest day of her life.

And, PeaPod is a BIG BOY! And, so handsome, too. What a wonderful talent Carol has, those pix are beautiful.

I'd have been crying buckets............

[phesina]

Such great pictures.. it's fantastic to see just how well they have settled in and are so loved in their new home. Peapod is enormous! But he's still Sweetpea's little boy.

And those paintings.. How beautiful, and how kind and thoughtful and loving of Carol to make those for you! I'd be bawling my eyes out too.

Thank you so much, Lorraine, for poofing her and midwifing him and helping her raise him and then finding them such a wonderful furrever home that keeps in touch, and sharing with us their continuing saga!

[sasvermont]

Wow, looks how big PP is now! My gosh! SP looks so, well, sweet. She looks like such a proud Mama cat. Such a wonderful story!


Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Thanks for keeping us in touch with these two.

Good job! The perfect home. :)

[Reachoutrescue]

They are so georgous!! PeaPod is so big! I love him! I am so glad they are doing so well.

[Vermontcat]

That's great that you got to visit the Peas and hug them and kiss them and love them and squeeze them. :D
I love the photos, they both have gotten fluffier, their tails look really plush!
Peapod has grown so big and handsome!
Sweetpea looks as sweet as ever.
I just love the pictures that your friend made for you, I'm sure you will cherish them. :)

[kt_luvs_kitties]

Lorraine, what a great thread! Thank you for allowing us to "stay" in the Peas life as well.

PeaPod is SO BIG :eek: And he looks like a stud and a half!

And SweetPea is still as beautiful!

They are so lucky to have had you, and their new purrents.

VERY good Paintings, I love them! And I just know you will cherish them forever :D

[krazyaboutkatz]

Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures with us. Both of the Peas look great.:) I can't get over how large Peapod has become. Do you know how much he weighs? My Ziggy is now 13lbs so I wonder if he's her size or larger. Sweetpea still looks like a little princess.:) The paintings look great and I bet you'll cherish them forever.:) I'm so glad that they both have such a wonderful loving home and that you're able to keep in contact with them.:) I would've had major LES too.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

OMG, what is their meowmie feeding those two?? They are growing like weed :eek: It is soooo nice that we get updates on those two.Their new mom must be a fantastic meowmie! Is she a PT-member? (hint hint).

Thank you so much for sharing these pics with us!!!

[Killearn Kitties]

Heavens, but that boy is BIG! Just as gorgeous as he aways was though. Mr Box would not present much of a problem these days. :D His mum just looks so adorable. A real sweety.

I still can't get over what wonderful new owners you found. They have just been amazing at keeping you involved with how the furries are getting on. And the paintings! That was just so kind.

We love the "Peas"!

[wolflady]

Oh how wonderful! I'm so glad you are able to see "the peas" and continue to share their progress with us. They certainly look comfortable and at ease in their home! I can't believe how much PP has grown! What a big handsome guy!
Those paintings were very good...I would have cried too. :o What a nice treasure to have.

**hugs**

[Edwina's Secretary]

Eddie says......WOW!!! his baby boy is VERY grown up! :D :D

[caffeitina]

Wow! What big, fluffy cats! Are they Maine Coon?

[Catlady711]

Pea Pod has gotten so BIG! :eek: wow! Sure a far cry from the tiny little gray fluff ball he used to be! ;)

[rg_girlca]

You are all more than welcome for the update. Afterall, you all went through the poofing, the pregnancy, the birth, the loss and the only survivors' growth along with me, so it's only fair that I still share the "Peas" with you. :D

You are right when you say that I will cherish those lovely paintings forever.

Yes Laura, I sent them all of PeaPods baby pictures from the day he was born, up to the day he left.

Oh yes MOF, they got lots of hugs & kisses.

LOL!!!! Yes Eddie, your baby boy has really grown.

Caffeitina, no they are not Main Coons.

It must be such a wonderful feeling for you Lorraine.I'm so happy you keep everyone posted.They look GREAT! :)

[momcat]

It's always a treat to see those beautiful Peas! What a wonderful family they're with too! Both kitties are obviously very loved and cared for. Wow, is that really our tiny little Peapod? It's hard to believe how much he has grown and there's still some growing to come! Carol is quite a talented artist, I'm sure those paintings will hang in a place of honor! Thanks for keeping all of us "Pea addicts" updated on their progress.
