    My little sweethearts

    I found the girls hanging out in Angel's room this afternoon, soaking up the sun. I *tried* to grab the camera and take pretty sunbathing pictures, but Flutter decided Angel needed a bath

    Hmmm... what does Angel think of her bath?


    Then they both caught sight of a bug


    and no more picture taking opportunities since Angel and Flutter were off to the races to attack the bug. RIP poor little buggy!

    I feel rather guilty tonight too. The people who want to adopt Angel wrote to me today and I was somewhat overly honest regarding Angel. I did not lie, I just did not sugar coat anything either. I told them how Angel has diarrhea again, and she pooped outside the box a few times this week. I do know they don't want to add additional boxes in the main part of the house --- Angel is one of those kitties that WILL poop outisde the box if she needs to go in a room where no box is present. She always has and though I've tried to work with her on it, I think she always will because of having had chronic diarrhea most of her life. I think she associates needing to go potty as an urgent matter, no matter whether or not it is urgent. Should I have let them figure that one out on their own? I know they'd be really annoyed if she started to poop around and had no prior knowledge of this behavior from her. Oh well.... part of me told them about the diarrhea to be thorough and truthful to adoptors, another part hopes it scares them away from actually following through with the adoption.

    You did the right thing in telling them how things are with her. Finding out on ones own is something left for a stray that you know nothing about.

    Personally, I feel it's dishonest and very unprofessional for a foster to NOT tell everything they know to a potentional adoptee. Not telling is a very good way to get a BAD reputation and no one gets adopted.

    Cute pictures of two beautiful girls but that second one ...wow! That one's a winner!! I think you did the right thing in giving the prospective parents the straight story. This way they can make an informed decision and there can be no misunderstandings. They know what they'll be taking on should they decide to adopt her.

    They sure look cute together.
    Yes, I agree that the telling prospective parents everything about Angel Eyes is a must. This way if she does something while in their care, they won't be so shocked or surprised. They'll also know what they're getting themselves into before they decide to adopt her.
