Welcome Luna and Lily

We are so very excited to announce the welcoming of Luna and Lilly to our family - they will be joining us formally next weekend after they have been vetted! 

I came across Luna and Lily in my news feed on Facebook when someone I know shared a story from Heavenly Hills Animal Sanctuary!  

The sisters were a strongly bonded pair - all the photos showed photos of the two of them snuggled together loving on one another! As a result of the strong bond the rescue was looking for a furever home that would allow the two to remain together - I mean how can you separate these two darlings???

I spoke with Paul to see if he thought two kitties would be a fit for our family because since the loss of Nevada he'd been wanting a new fur baby to join us and help to fill the hole in our hearts her loss had created but was not sure if two were in the cards for our small home. He took one look at them and he too was heart captured ... we visited them at their foster home and instantly knew they were the two kitties for us and while our home might be small our hearts are huge and we can make room for the two of them here! 

This is Luna - she is a tortoise shell tabby who is full of spunky spirit and energy and has a foot fetish - so beware walking past couches or beds for her hunting prowess!

Her sister Lily she is an amazing soul who is a little more cautious about the world and way more laid back preferring to watch her sisters antics although she occasionally will jump in and participate!

Together they balance each other out perfectly just like Paul and I do and we are so very excited to have them joining the home! 

I cannot thank their foster Mama Angela and her daughter Leda enough for the wonderful start to life that they offered the girls until they were ready to come home with us - it takes a very special person to open their heart to fur babies knowing that they are going to have to say good-bye again in a short time period. Based on all the photos she took of them in her home they were well loved and had an amazing first couple months with her and Leda! 

We cannot wait to have them join us and I am sure that they are going to love being guest bloggers on the blog from time to time! 

Have an amazing day!

Elf on the Shelf ~ Pet Love

Nevada cat has an infatuation with Ian the Elf ~ she can often be found snuggling up against him and his array of warm Christmas lights which gave Ian a nudge to create a lovely invitation, which we revisit annually here, where we gather up our old linens that are starting to get either discolored or just not being used anymore and we donate them to the local Animal Shelter along with some pet food and treats for those animals that are patiently waiting for their 'forever home' to become available! 

We were a bit sad this year that we could not go to the pet store in person to get some treats because of this silly stomach flu going through the program this week but we talked about it and again looked through some magazines for ideas on making a list for what we would send a healthy adult to go get for us.

Ian's Poem about sharing some pet love

Santa heard there some animals waiting for a Christmas home

They might be in the need of some warm towels, a toy or even a bone?

So while they are waiting for their new families to come

He thought perhaps you can help bring them some?

So here is some money for you to head to the pet store

Buy a few treats so the wee little animals will want no more!

Have an amazing day!
