Lindsey

[Cinder & Smoke]

Since Peanut and "her Daddy" are so tight -
I can understand Terry's "attitude" towards a "ner cat" ....

Last night Terry started with the "replacement for Peanut" thing ...

... I've already been told in so many words that
WE WILL NOT BE GETTING ANOTHER CAT!

It's really too bad that Lindsey "appeared" just when she did ~
* Less than a week before the Big Bus Trip south* ...

You don't want to rush the introductions -
if memory serves me - CJ wasn't exactly "welcomed with open paws"
by a certain Senior 4-pawed Member of the Family ...

They're ALL going to need some time & space to adjust to being a THREE-cat Family -
and trying to do that in the confines of the Rollin Motor Howze might not make
for a stress-free vacation for everyone.

MY suggestion?
Work out a "deal" with the Rescue Group ...
* Make it clear You want to adopt Lindsey
* You're willing to pay the "fees" now
* Home Visit (if required) must be done after you return
* They "keep her" till you return in two weeks

The Rescue might even be able to send her home with a Volunteer for Christmas -
since she has a new home - she doesn't need to "appear for Show & Tell" in the
PetsMart store - the foster home might help her adjust to being with people
and probably other cats.

An addeded benefit is you'll have an extra two weeks to "adjust" Terry to the Idea!

Aren't we a great bunch?


Threatening Terry because he won't go along with Debbie?

Tell him he has to stay home next July!

------------------------

No one can replace Peanut!!!

But, it's like I tell my husband...wait a minute, we are a team here. -I- deserve to be able to make decisions, not just you. There are plenty of things that YOU do that don't exactly please me, but I go along with them because I know you want them and because I love you.

So, please, extend the same courtesy to me. Besides, who will be doing the majority of the work associated with the pets? In our house, it's ME.

Just food for thought.


(Lindsey, I'm praying for you!!!)

Since we are picking on Terry, you should say something like "You got that huge motorhome, there is plenty of room for another kitty on our journeys"

[Killearn Kitties]

I have given Terry's picture to Samantha, Daisy and Jessica. They are all sitting on the settee sending him Lindsey vibes. Or perhaps they have fallen asleep ...

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Lindsey was adopted yesterday so she has found her forever home.

Whew!

I told Terry she was adopted and he seemed disappointed, like her new family wasn't good enough, but we both know he would have put up a huge fuss to get her into this family, so everything works out for the best.

[momcat]

What a sweetie!!!!! Hmm, maybe if all of us on PT got together and bombarded Terry with all the reasons why Lindsey belongs with you it just might break his resolve. Three cats would be a pleasant balance not to mention triple the kitty hugs and kisses. What can we do to further your cause?

[Edwina's Secretary]

I was all ready to get on the "Come On Terry" bandwagon.

Well....the next one!

[orangemm]

At least Lindsey HAS a furrever home now and that is the good news. I'm sorry she isn't yours, though; I think you had your heart set on her.

[jenluckenbach]

Hooray for Lindsay, but I am really sorry for you, Debbie. Charlie was once the same type of guy who continually said NO to a new addition. And I usually did not adopt when he said no, but it came to a time when I finally broke down and cried. I asked him why HIS opinion was the only one that mattered? I asked him if my wants were so unimportant? After all, I had no other vices.......I don't spend money on cigarettes, booze..... I don't gamble, or run around with other men. Now the tables are turned. Charlie never says I can't have another. (now of course, I went a little overboard, but I am sure that you will not).

oops......sorry to preach on your thread.

[ramanth]

AWWW! Good luck Lindsey in your new furever home.

Debbie... maybe next time!!

[RICHARD]

Well, time to ask for a DIAMOND!!!!!!!


That way, by the time you get to Petsmart again..........

Debbie,

Trust me, after the 7th conversation you can get what ever you want!

[RICHARD]

Debbie.


Here is something for your fridge.
Print it in huge letter letters.....for next time.


Time Waits For No Man.

Time Does Not Favor Those Who Hesitate.

A diamond is forever.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Richard, you are too funny!

What happens if.....say.....I ask for a diamond....and I get one!

I think I'll stick to asking for cats.......

[QueenScoopalot]

She should have been yours and C.Js! There are very few kitties who have that special something that grabs people from the first meeting. If both you & Terry had that 'feeling' about Lindsey, it's too bad you didn't just p**s off hubby and bring her home for a try out. I have had a few very memorable rescues out of the hundreds who've spun through the revolving doors here, and felt such intense loss when those exceptional ones left. But the flip side on a few memorables is people I know adopted some. (Like Birdie, and Gracie & Gabriel. Lets all hope that Lindsey doesn't work out in her new home (hmmm alllergies)..and when Debbie & Terry get back, she'll be waiting!
