I mentioned that Flutter's sister was going to be returned to the shelter if a foster mom wasn't found. Well..... she was returned to the shelter on Monday. I got a call from the adoptive mom Thursday, crying, telling me what she'd done. She begged me to call her back. I have been sick (AGAIN) and didn't have the energy to call her back... because I didn't want to be talked into taking Pixie back. So she called me yesterday. This time to appologize for her crying message.
I got off the phone feeling ok. I felt like it wasn't my responisbility to take back Flutter's sister. I was afraid if I spoke with the adoptive parents then I'd be in the car racing to the shelter to gather my girl's sister in my arms. But I didn't have that feeling. Yay me!
Until an hour later, when a customer came in the door who also works for the rescue. She works in the shelter. I said, "oh so you have my Pixie!" Her eyes got real big and she asked what happened to her leg. I told the story. She said that Pixie is an awesomely sweet little girl. Comes when you calls. Wants to be held, etc. DRAT. So now I'm feeling like I need to race to the shelter and gather that little girl in my arms and bring her home.
Now all night, I couldn't sleep for having weird dreams about ear-tipping my cats. How is ear tipping connected to Pixie? Because someone randomly cuts all my cat's ear tips off, just like someone randomly cut Pixie's leg off. I had an AWFUL night sleep. Every time I fell back asleep, another one of my cats had a missing ear tip. I had to wake up and check each cat out each time (all ears are in perfect shape by the way)
