New Addition Coming Next Week, "Jasper" Options

[nickels]

It's been quite a while since I have posted. We have had another incredibly hard year. The past month though, things are going very well. Almost afraid to be happy but what the heck. We deserve it after two years of horrible deaths, loss of business, etc.

Next Thursday, the 28th, will be 2 years since we lost our precious Nickels. I have never grieved over a fur baby like this before but I Thank God he shared Nickels with us for 13 years.

As some of you remember last year, we rescued a 3 week old kitty, Frankee that was dumped and left for dead. This was a half hour after our best friend Frank told us he had 3 months to live. Hence the name Frankee. Frankee is doing quite well. Since he was so sick when we found him, his growth is a little stunted. He just turned a year old last friday and he's about the size of a 6 month old tabby which means he'll stay a "kitten" for the rest of his life. He's happy and healthy but not a cuddler. He's his own man and loves picking on his adopted MaMa cat "Awassi" that is 14 and aches from arthritis. We also have a 15 year old Calico that still, after a year, wants nothing to do with Frankee.

So last Friday I was looking at kittens on the internet. I found a kitten down in Oklahoma City and filled out an application. The lady called today and we were overwhelmingly approved with a great review from our Vet. So next Tuesday, not tomorrow, we go pick up Jasper. He is about 12 weeks old and is half siamese. Frankee will finally have a playmate and little brother! We are very excited and he couldn't have come along at a better time with Nickels 2 year passing coming up.

I finally got a new camera and am having problems with my photo program so I hope this doesn't need to be resized. I'll also try to post a picture of Frankee that I took today.

I've missed everyone here and glad to be posting again.
