you made me laugh
i still havn't got a light bulb for the spair room - i keep buying the wrong sort
and Borris is curled up in a huge pile of clean washing that needs folded and put away (it was 17 degrees today so i washed for Africa)
this is her in her scratcher bed under the heat pump but after the heat pump is off and she's been tucked in for the night
she melts her Daddy's heartAww what a sweetie pie.
Missy, Francesca will never be forgotten. Remembering our beloved fur babies brings us comfort long after they are gone. It is the long term grieving process, I guess.I miss our sweet girl. Today is 2 weeks since she died.
Still going through photos over and over again. And speaking of baby pics I found a few more of Francesca when she was just a few months old. I wish we had more baby pics but in those days I refused a mobile phone and did not own a camera. My bad.
She was a few months old here I believe.
and with her brother Bobby when she was about 6 months old.
Bobby was a baby here and less than 6 months old but see how much bigger he was than Francesca. He is a big boy today though not as big as your baby will be @MakingTheGrade
Got this picture of Belle as she’s preparing for her journey here tomorrow!!
As some of you know, I had to say goodbye to my big Beau this year. And I still wear my paw pendant that I made in remembrance everyday.
But I still had a big hole in my heart. And after much discussion with my partner, I decided to get another Leonberger pup. I’ve only ever had rescue dogs and going to a breeder felt weird, but the chances of finding another young local rescue Leo seemed slim. And I really wanted another Leo after living and loving my big gentle bear.
Happy to say I’m expecting to welcome little Belle next week
Belle is the feminine of Beau in French (I think anyways) so she’ll be his little sister in spirit.
I have a set of new fosters. They were on the two hour euthenesia list. Three weeks old and severely underweight, dehydrated, full of fleas- they have worms too, to be expected.
I saw the post on the way to our belated anniversary dinner.... After dinner we picked up kittens.
There were four. The fourth baby was 7.5 ounces at 3 weeks. I stayed up with him all Sunday night. I handed him off to a bottle feeder for hourly feedings yesterday morning. He didn't make it. He passed last night.
The other three have been gaining steadily, are more alert and active and are eating on their own. I nudge them to eat and mix up a lovely smelling concoction of warm chicken baby food, kitten formula and honey and they prefer that over water so far. As long as we are eating and getting liquid in. These are the kittens. I have not named anyone. I wanted to see if they lived first. I think we are going to be ok. I'm working remotely the rest of the week to be on hand. I'm glad I have that flexibility.
Everyone is under 1 pound and once we got a pound I will feel better. We started at about 9 to 12 oz each. We've has good steady gains.

LOL that is so true. Do you know the quote about cats vs dogs?
“Dogs have owners, cats have staff”

I think he thought he was next...
The little white kitty is purring when he’s handled now. I think these guys are through the worst as long as they keep gaining weight! The grey baby hissed at me because I removed him from his food to weigh him. I’ll take it! They were so lethargic initially- I did sub q fluids for everyone at the start. They were so dehydrated. The 12 year old at our house was freaked out by the at home fluids admin.
Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you! She’s adorable!She’s here! Haha I finally caved and signed up for Instagram so I could make her an account to dump all the photos into. Because man am I gonna take a lot of photos
I saw my sweet Gordie take his last breath. I’ve been agonizing that I didn’t know he was at a place where I needed to help him pass on. He had been to the vet and had every test..but he went into a seizure and passed in front ofIt's so awful. You have my condolences. I think all of us here are animal lovers and we have all been through this heartbreak.
It is one of the hardest things we will ever have to do.
My kitty was scared at the end, too. So sad.
