I went to the shelter today at lunchtime and spent 30 minutes with Thomas. He is such a darling - just wants to rub his face all over me! He is quite big-built compared to Ally (who is, after all, quite "dainty" but he is not heavy or chunky - just solid. He is such a good looking boy - even without a tail. When I pet him I can feel little scars running all over his body - I can only shudder to think what he has gone through.

In an act of total faith I filled in the adoption papers (purely a formaility as they know me so well).

Hubby hasn't said YES, but he hasn't said NO, so I think he is giving in!!!
