Goodbye to my China pets-I am home. Pictures of the new Canuck visitor!

I know it was hard to do = but at the same time the best thing to do.. The move would have been too hard on the babies..

Often, doing the best for all is the most difficult. You did the unselfish thing.

[Laura's Babies]

Gee! That had to be hard to do and will hurt for a long time but you did give them to someone they knew and a home they have spent a lot of time in.. I wonder if they will even miss you? LOL!

I let my big boy Chester go live with my daughter because he thought that was his real home anyway since she kept him while I was on the boat and hated coming back here and I think he was meant to be hers anyway. He LOVES, LOVES, LOVES her, almost obsessively and he is so much happier there, I get to see him anytime (which is often) and he is SO loved there.. Chester does NOT miss me one bit! LOL! My daughter sends me such cute pictures of him when I am on the boat and how he is always on her loving her so I still have a great collection of pictures of him too.

That must be so difficult. But you must have some peace knowing they are in such a wonderful home and will be well taken care of. Sometimes people aren't so lucky to find a great place to take in their pets. You definitely did the right thing.

[Karen]

A prayer for comfort for you, I am sure it was a bittersweet parting. Remind her to send you updates every now and then, of course! When do you move back here? (North America)

I know you'll miss them terribly. But you did the right thing. And that takes love,

I'm sure you'll be able to get updates and pictures. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

adding pictures of Well, I am back online at last and back in my Canadian home.

Audrey tells me my babies are all doing very well and settled in in their new home so that is a relief even though I am missing them so much.

Since I got home ( first evening!!) We have been visited by by several cats from the neighbourhood all wanting to share our bbqs!

Most of them I know from previous times, are my neighbour's barn cats but one little girl seems to have adopted us as her own.I have to ask around and see if she has another home. She is only small and about one year old but unfortunately she looks to be pregnant and is constantly hungry ---I have been feeding her around three times a day ! She is very shy and won't come inside the house but she sits by the door , on the deck and watches us for hours. I have been able to pet her just once and she also lets my husband touch her on her nose very gently sometimes but I am sure she will get tamer as time passes..

I will try and get a photo or two and show you what she looks like. Not a beauty as she has a bent or ripped eaf and and a funny curled and stubby tail but I think she is cute just the same.

She sounds like a darling little girl, and it sounds like she has chosen a safe place. I bet she has a beauty all her own.

Welcome 'home' - and I am glad to hear your babies are doing so well!
