OOHH just look at her, she's so precious!! That will strictly be Lily's blankie to cuddle in! ;)
Like Captain I have been reading this thread but not posting until now.
I think it is a wonderful story about a sweet little kitty going from one great Pet Talk home to another.:)
I can't wait to see photos of Lily meeting her brother Toby!
My sister will be landing in Newfoundland in TWO HOURS!!!! I expect the phone call in less than 3 hours.
I'm so filled with anxiety, I don't know what to do. I'll upload the pics I took of her before she left :(
GREAT!! Let us know as soon as you hear! I will be gone to bed by then I'm sure .. its 11:40 pm now .. I might make it to 1 am =/
Hey Johanna -
I was just admiring your sig and then a thought occured to me. Henry will be out of Lily's reach, right? I got scared to death she'd try to 'play' with him :eek: :eek: :eek:
lol, don't worry, we've had Henry covered from the start .. we have a plastic lid with a hole on it taped on the top of his bowl .. Toby loves to get up and stick his nose in the hole and pat at the side of the bowl .. I will introduce Lily to Mr.Henry. He's my sweet little fishie. He's over a year old. :)
Ok, that does it, I've got to get a map of Canada. I thought I had it pretty well in my head where all these places where, but I never thought it would be a 12 hour plane flight!Quote:

5 hours of the trip down, 7 to go.
Phheeww.. I was picturing you putting that bad girl's butt back on the first flight to Texas... hehe just kidding of course :)Quote:

Is Henry a betta? I have a betta too. Lily liked to tap on his glass so I'm sure she'll be happy to see Henry :D
T&P's Mom - Yeah, its faaaaaar! Actually its less than a 12 hour flight, but I added in travel time in the car and also lay overs at airports.
12 hours .. quite a long time for Lily to be in a carrier!! oh my .. poor thing, she's going to be so contrary! ;) Henry is a betta, yup. Toby loves watching him, and of course, patting his food off the table, like he does with everything else he sees fit to fall on the floor! :D
Shiloh does that too. She acts soooo innocent after she sends something crashing to the floor. She'll yawn and look over at me like "pick that up so I can knock it over again!".Quote:

Lily doesn't push things off counters so much as pick up random pieces of trash and run around the room like a mad woman. She does love the fish food though!
ONE HOUR UNTIL LANDING
I can't wait until she's OUT of that carrier. Ugh.
LOL I know its hilarious! He will be on the counter and knock say a pen on the floor. So then I pick it up and put it back -- down it goes again! He keeps it up for a long time too :D
fish food?? ohh Justin buys crab meat - he would probably love that, and of course tuna fish! thats toby's favourite :D Speaking of - where is the Tobster?? Oh he always goes off under the bed and sleeps, silly boy.
I hope that she is contented in her carrier ... it did look nice and comfy in the pics! :D
"I've got airplane ears... gettin ready to go on the big airplane!"

OMG those pics are priceless!! Its the first pic I saw of Lily with Airplane ears - they are adorable!! ROFL!! hehe Skylars up to his own business in the background I see!
And aww look at her in her carrier ..she looks so calm :)
Thanks for the pics .. I'll add them to my growing collection of Lily pics!
*yawn* I'm getting tired but I just can't go to sleep .. not yet .. I'm almost there! How much longer? :D

I guess she lands in about 30 minutes then!
I feel bad that you're still up.
Here is Arizona, she'll be there tomorrow!
That's so great that she is going to another Pet Talker!
It's SO cool!!
Congrats to the beautiful kitty!
You have to post pictures of them as soon as she arrives@!
30 minutes!! :D :D
Oh don't worry about me, I'm a nighthawk .. this gives me an excuse to stay up late like I used to! Altho I admit I am getting very sleepy .. arg .. I'm just going to have to go to bed - I can barely keep my eyes open .. I'm sure everything will be fine - I'll check the forums as soon as I wake up!
:( :( damn me and my tired self ..
ugh. Well g'night. Get some rest Alyson! :D
Don't worry Johanna :) Get some rest. I'll call you if anything went wrong. Otherwise, you can read the update when you wake up.
Kiss Lily girl for me tomorrow!
I'll give her lots, and I'll make sure she knows they're from her Alyson Meomie..
Ohh how sweet .. Toby just jumped in my lap and started Kneading! hehe I love it when he does that :D
ttyl
Lily should be landing right NOW :D
This is such a heartwarming thread.:D I'm so glad that Lily is going to such a good home and now we can watch her grow up. :) I can't wait to hear more updates. :)
Johanna - You have a healthy, HAPPY kitten waiting for you :D :D
I just talked to my sister. They are at the hotel and Lily is running around playing. I imagine she's going to keep them up all night after all the rest she got during the trip today, hehe :) My sister said she was purring and happy during the WHOLE trip :eek: I am so surprised. I thought for sure she would not like that. She told me that Lily has already run around and checked out every square inch of the hotel room. She was chewing the phone cords while I was talking so my sister let me talk to her on the phone :)
My dad has a conference call at 2 tomorrow so he'll call you when he's done with that.
I told my sister I had to come write an update and she said to tell everyone that Lily is just "peachy".
I am shaking, I'm so happy and relieved. Aaaahh, I can't see through the tears.
I was reading this thread the whole time but I now feel the need to respond. Aly, wonderful job in caring for Lily and sending her to the best forever home possible. Scanty, CONGRATULATIONS!
Boy am I thrilled to hear Lily arrived safely! :D I hope she likes Toby! Good luck, and let's see some pics of Lily in Canada!:D
Get some rest, you two. You need it.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I'm so happy to hear that she actually went to somebody over Pet Talk! This is the greatest website EVER! :p
Congrats, again!
You Must Take Pictures
!!! :D
Oh boy. This is not good. I got woke up 6:30 this morning because my throat is extremely sore. I have no clue where this came from .. I can barely swallow it hurts so much. I can't go to work - I have to go to the hospital soon. I will demand for medication that will work right away!
I'm sure I will be fine to pick Lily up. I feel fine other than my throat hurting unbelievable.. =/
ugh this sucks.
On a happier note - I so HAPPY to hear that Lily arrived safely!! I can't wait to pick her up today!!
Can't wait for the pictures!
Even though this is sad........I don't suppose staying home with the new kitty is really PUNISHMENT, now is it? ;)Quote:
I can't go to work
lol your right jen .. no matter how shitty I feel staying home with TWO kitties is sure to cheer me up!
I just hope this doesn't turn into the worst - aka a raging flu. :( I'm going to the doctor soon.
Johanna,
I'm sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Please let us know how you are as soon as you get home from the doctors.
It's not good that you aren't feeling well, BUT it will save you from having to chuck a sickie to spend some time with the new kitty girl and the Tobster! :)
I'm sorry to hear you are not feeling well, I hope you feel better very soon, so you can enjoy the thrill of your new sweet girl!!:)
I think it is just wonderful that Lily is staying in the PT family!!:D
I am very much looking forward to seeing pictures of Lily and Toby!!
Best wishes!! :D
Alyson and Johanna, thanks a lot that you allowed us to take part in this touching and heart warming story.
Johanna, I wish you all the best for your throat and hope it won't be too bad and just stays in the throat (which is already bad enough).
Lilybaby the little trooper made it safely to NF and now we are so curious how the first meeting goes:) :) :)
I hope Johanna's sore throat don't keep me from meeting her and Lily.
I feel soooooooooooooo bad that Johanna is sick. I am hoping Lily can put a smile on her face.
I thought you guys might want to read this part of an email from my dad, hehe:
"Lily was happy and energetic last night. I woke up at one point and Lily
was lying on my ear purring and another time she was playing with my nose.
i wonder if mom would have screamed?"
Wow! It seems like she didn't mind traveling at all. Mandy gets sick on a 1 hour car ride. She would never make it that far in a plane.
Johanna,
my dad says they can drive Lily to you if you're too sick.
Oh no, Johanna, I'm so sorry you're not feeling well, but the good news is you don't have to go to work, which means you should be able to get Lily sooner, right?
I'm hoping it's just a bit of stress and being tired from staying up late last night. Hopefully nothing a good nights sleep, maybe with Lily "lying on my ear and purring" - how sweet is that!!?!! :D
I know you will, but please keep us updated. :D
Ugh thanks guys. Ok so I just got back from the hospital - with no succes at all. There were 10 or more of us waiting ... and I was there for 2 hours - not one of us got called to see a doctor. I got fed up and left. So now I am going to a clinic in an hour .. I need to get something to just numb the pain, then I'll be fine.
I can't really say how I will be feeling in several hours, a bad flu may hit me in hours .. or it may not at all - which is what I am hoping for. I will let you know how I am doing Rosemary.
Alyson - I really can't see me being too sick to go pick her up, I just have pain in my throat, I'm not stay at home sick. So instead of going to work all day I have to spend the whole day going back and forth between hospitals! oh my ..
I can't wait to see her!!
I'm off to school now. I'll be back in a few hours. I emailed my dad and told him to call your home instead and leave a message if you're not there. I can't wait to get home and see if you guys have talked yet! I would skip today but I skipped yesterday so I SUPPOSE I should go :)
I'm off to the clinic .. wish me luck! I really hope I feel ok to go pick Lily up with Rosemary! My condition better not worsen! :( :cool:
