Bella is getting a little brother!!!

[Logan]

I am dying here!! It's 10 pm and not a word by email or post here at Pet Talk. Are you so in love that you can't leave him for a second? Is he all clean and snuggly now and you just must hold him in your lap??? Heck, I don't blame you!!!! Can't wait to wake up in the morning and find a message from you.........hint, hint!!!!! A picture or two would be nice too!

Oh my gosh! Pam I am absolutely thrilled for you! I am ooooozing with joy for you and your family (and a little bit of sympothy for the kitties )! Congrats and please, please get some pics of our new little friend, Ripley for us to see ASAP

I am so thrilled for you Congrats and welcome to heaven on earth, Ripley!

It's late I know but I wanted to jot a note off before hitting the hay. Ripley is such a good boy. He and Bella had quite a time of it today. First she would sniff him and he'd run and then he'd sniff her and she'd run. No one was upset but there was a whole lot of activity! I have been walking him in the yard, even though it is fenced in, because I'm not too sure about how well he will come to me outside and it is extremely cold outside and snowing. So far he comes to me when I call him inside though! I think he is responding to "come" more so than his new name. He had one pee accident and one poop accident in the house within the first hour he was here. I think it was nervousness though. When I said "NO" he just slunk down to the floor! I gave him a nice bath, and after hubby came home he did a little touch-up clipping on him. He was so good being groomed! Just sat there and didn't move or say a word! I have him in a crate in my room for tonight and Bella will have her main place on the Big Bed. When he earns his spot on the Big Bed he will be there also. The kitties have seen him, and Trevor gave him a nice big hiss but so far so good. Please everyone keep your fingers crossed. I don't have any pictures because I left my camera at Robyn's. Hubby took a couple tonight with his, so as soon as he downloads them I'll be able to post a few.

That's about it for this evening and thank you all for your good wishes.

Those were my sentiments exactly....even got up a bit earlier than usual. Thankfully our wishes were granted.

Thought I would share the poem that we chose as his own when we adopted Tucker.

Now that I'm home,bathed, settled and fed
All nicely tucked in my warm new bed.
I'd like to open my baggage,
Lest I forget.
There is so much to carry-
So much to regret.
Hmm ...yes there it is right on top:
Let's unpack loneliness, heartache and loss,
And there by my leash hides fear and shame
As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave-
I still have to unpack my baggage called pain.
I loved them the others the ones who left me.
But I wasn't good enough-for they didnt want me.
Will you add to my baggage? will you help me unpack?
Or will you just look at my things
And take me right back?
Do you have time to help me unpack?
To put away my baggage, to never repack?
I pray that you do-I'm so tired you see?
But I do come with baggage-will you still want me?

At the end you can say.....Yes, Ripley....forever

Oh Rachel that is just beautiful. I'm going to print that out right now!

I have started a new thread with Ripley's picture. I will try to get more later on today when my daughter brings my camera over. Things are going well, even better that imagined!
