Phew - halfway done (sort of).

Next is Sadie. She is a very special dog to me. We brought her home at seven weeks of age and raised her for Leader Dogs for the Blind in hopes of her one day becoming a Guide Dog. About a month ago, she realized that dream and was placed with a person. Her leaving us was filled with tears and happy memories, and I wish her the best of luck with her new life.



Now the kitties.

This is Rush, our fourteen year old pain in the butt ruler of all. He is a very good kitty and has been since he was born. He's diebetic now and has slown down with his age, but we love him to death.


And now onto Pheobe. She is our resident kitten with quite a story behind her. Our neighbors and I found her outside all alone in a woodpile when she was four weeks old. They kept her, with me stopping by every once in a while to check up on her. A couple of days after they had her, they brought her down to us so we could kitten sit and I discovered that she had an awful toe infection - her toe had been ripped of and it was oozing like no other. We payed for her vet care and nursed her back to health for two weeks. After we'd had her, we couldn't give her back and they told us it was okay if we kept her. The other night she was stepped on by my sister and we thought she wasn't going to make it. She pulled through fine - however she is now ten weeks old and has already lost three of her nine lives. lol
