In The Blink of an Eye

I picked up my little "Patty" from the vets this afternoon after a not-so-perfect romantic few days with David.

"Adorable" barely covers how CUTE she is. Nobody could ever mistake that feminine little face as a boy.

I don't know why I always expect so much when David and I go away for a few days. We no sooner arrived at our hotel than David received something called a "Priority One" emergency at work. He spent the majority of the time on the phone with conference calls and speaking in a geek language that I don't understand.

Perhaps I need to be more grateful that I'm married to someone that cares about earning a living to make wonderful things possible for me and the family. I really should be more flexible and understanding.

I came home to some good news that a pair of siblings were adopted that I had rescued several months earlier. You might remember these two - they were called "kittens X" at the shelter:

When I called the family to congratulate them, I accidently spilled the beans to the young daughters (who had just arrived home) that their foster kittens had been adopted. *ARGH*

Fortunately, I had just the thing for two little girls who missed their foster kittens! David and I scrambled back in the car with sweet little Patty. I think Patty will LOVE being with this family. The girls are gentle and kind. I can't think of a better way of getting over loss of having your foster kittens adopted than another foster kitten! :)

Soooo....in the blink of an eye....she's gone. :) Patty was only at my house for 2 hours - not even long enough to use the litterbox.

Unfortunately, there's no shortage of cats at the shelter who need me. I won't bother to put the litterbox away.
