We are going to let mom take this one today: A word on miss Gigi - she was dropped off this morning for her lady-gardenectomy and the cat person said she could just stay at the shelter. Mom wasn't quite prepared for that, but that means we should have a peaceful, kitten-free weekend. :)
It is getting closer to the end of the year (how did that happen??), and I have been thinking about this past year. It has been a wild roller coaster. The ups and downs seemed to never end. I experienced more foster losses than any other year combined. But, the highs have been amazing.
What am I thankful for? First, that my family and friends are healthy, happy and employed. Second, the kitty crew here is healthy and (mostly) get along. Third, all of you. I don't think I could have made it through all of this without your cheers and support.
And please know that while I post here about the cats and the fosters and the transports, I do read and following along with all of you as well. I cheer your successes, smile at the cuteness, and cry at the losses.
So, here is the year in review (these are just some highlights - it was interesting to go back and look over the blog for the last 12 months). I am going to try to stick to the positive things:
January - the chicken kittens came as fosters, Watson was found as a stray in the neighborhood (yes, someone dumped a persian), and my brother and sister-in-law got Minnie the Great Pyrnees.
February - our annual Purr-fur-mance review and the family Disney trip
March - the 2nd annual Best Friends trip (thank heaven for this)
April - Junior's 1st Gotcha Day, Swizzle and the kittens came as fosters, the adventures of Foxy the dog
May - TNR: Annie & Oakley...and the first of the Memorial kittens, and the sad news of Swizzle and FeLV
June - the rest of the Memorial kittens, negative test results for us, discovering that Tim is a great help socializing wild kittens, and BOX Day
July - Jasper & Soapy's transport (for Winnie's Wish), Chiclet got adopted!!!, Willow, Zander & Ebony joined us for a couple of weeks, Christmas in July
August - the gremlins came as fosters, Black Cat Appreciation Day (Mo would like you to know that he thinks this is every day), Mac (the 100th foster)
September - Mo Cats Day, the gray foster kittens (Cloud & Kiari), Tory & Trevor came as fosters (and then were adopted together), Martini got adopted!!!! (he was one of Swizzle's kittens)
October - Kletus came as a foster (this was good and bad), working cats adopted from the shelter
November - Danny & Mason came as fosters (and then were adopted together), Baloo & Mowgli came as fosters (and then ran for the Bridge), the G's
December - Ferris
We hope that you have a great 2012....we can't wait to see what happens!!
