Dawna, O'Brien, Squirrel and Smiley left for our Petsmart adoption center tonight. I am going to miss those sweet faces . I bundled them up, smooched them all up and told them that I loved them with all my heart. I wish them the best of luck in finding new homes.

They will not stay there indefinitely, though. If they are not adopted in 7 to 10 days, I will bring them back here, as life in a cage is no life.

And yes, tears were shed. Those babies will always be mine in my heart.
