I failed fostering...

[emily_the_spoiled]

Okay, I have always known that I would not be very good at doing short-term fostering for animal shelters because I would want to keep all of them (that is why I only foster for the military).

Well Melissa (dolittleky) found this adorable kitten on petfinder.com at the Frederick County Animal Shelter. It turns out that they will not adopt to people out of the state of Maryland. Since they are only about 20 miles from me Melissa asked if I could help her and adopt the kitten, then we could arrange transport down to where she lives. I thought that I could do it, Emily (my name sake) had just passed over to the RB on Feb 4th and my uncle was diagnosed with terminal cancer on Feb 5th, so I was NOT looking to add to my posse yeah right

I picked up the kitten (Chrissy) but it took us almost two months before we could arrange a transport. In the mean time I had managed to fall in love with her (even though I swore I wouldn't). When the time came for the transport I confessed to Melissa what I was feeling and asked if it would be possible for me to keep her. Knowing that if Melissa said no, I would give her up. But with her very large heart, Melissa said yes with the caveat that if something ever changed she would get Chrissy. I agreed to that and I promised that I would get some pictures.

I will be the first to admit that I am not good at taking photos and I don't usually post many, but I finally got my butt in gear and got everything uploaded.

So I would like to introduce Chrissy to the world of PT..

I'm so happy to read that Chrissy has worked her way into your heart. May she help you heal as you contine to deal with the loss of your sweet Emily and the other events going on in your life. Does she have a problem with one of her eyes or is just the angle of the pictures?

Chrissy is gorgeous! Congratulations on your new and beautiful baby. Will there be more pictures from you now?
I'm so sorry about Emily and your uncle though.

Oh my! She is adorable!! Is she missing one eye and blind in the other? That's just my guess. Either way, it doesn't matter, because she is just too cute!!! I'm glad you failed fostering (sorry Melissa, lol). I'm sure Chrissy will bring you lots of joy for years to come.

WELL WITH THAT SWEET LITTLE FACE, ITS NO WONDER THAT YOU FAILED FOSTERING WITH CHRISSY.
SHES SUCH A SWEET HEART , I BET YOU THAT MOST PET TALKERS WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO LOOK AT CHRISSY AND NOT TAKE HER HOME.
I KNOW SHE WOULD HAVE HER NOSE IN HERE SOMEWHERES.

THEY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A CUTE NEW CAT HERE.

What a gorgeous little girl!!! I'm so glad she came along when she did. You both needed each other, and giving and getting love in return is the best!

Big hugs to Chrissy and to you!
