I have said goodbye to my beautiful Chinese kitties, Jade and Pearl and to Fifi the poodle! Yesterday I took them to their new home where they will be loved and looked after. But I am so sad without them and Fifi the poodle!
As I am retiring, my friend Audrey has taken them to live with her and her family along with Fifi (who really belongs to Audrey Xie but was shared by us when we here because we love dogs too). They are quite content to be there in her house as they have lived there for the previous six summers and know the place and the people very well and are much loved and petted by them. They even have a small garden with a high wall to play in and a fishpond where they can watch the koi fish swim around. Still my heart is heavy at leaving thenm behind even though I know they will be loved.
I could not take them back to Canada as there are too many regulations in China and besides the expense (at least $6000 Canadian, which would be more than I have!) it would have involved two 20 hour each way train trips to Beijing for certifications and the stress would have been terrible for them.
I expect we will very soon be looking for some new pets to rescue in Canada as we can't live without some furry faces in our family so at least a little good will come of it.
Goodbye Jade, Pearl and Fifi! You will always be in my heart
