Happy Gotcha Day Grete!

 

Happy Gotcha Day to me!!!!   I love the graphic that the Zoolatry girls made for me a long time ago...before Figaro joined our family.   I will imagine the hat on my head has his name on it.

 

I came to my family 5 years ago today. 

 

Some of you know the story...I was at Animal  Control...I was a stray...and that was not the first time I had been on my own.   I have a long and confusing story.

 

The most important part is that on May 21st 2008, mom was looking on Petfinder.com.  She saw my picture and my story and she told dad and they hopped in the car right away to come meet me.  Doggies at Animal Control are adopted out first come first served.

 

I was lucky mom was fast...they got there shortly after they opened for the day.   There I was in this concrete kennel.  It was horrible.

 

But I liked mom and dad from the start.  I knew I would love them.

 

So...below are photos of me on the day I came home.   My squeaky possum is my very first toy.

 

I'm a lucky girl.

 

Check out my interview at Savannah's Paw Tracks for more detail about my rescue and adjustment to life in my home.

Mitten and Momma Monday- Our Gotcha Day!

 

Momma...did you know that it was our Gotcha Day on Sunday?

 

 

Yes, dear Cory, I would never forget.  Mom and dad didn't forget either.   They fussed and told us how they can't believe it's been 7 years since we came into their lives.   They said we made everything better.  Just by being us.

 

Of course mom pulled out our Gotcha Day pictures.  I remember being so comfortable when we arrived that we just settled into the couch for a nice nursing session.  Silly Cory, you nursed until you were 5 months old.  

 

 

I can't believe I was that tiny.  You know if I could get away with it, I'd still nurse.

 

purrrrrr

 

Mother and daughter.  Together forever.

Society of Feline Gardeners- Thursday in the Garden with Jonesie

::Meowwww::

 

Welcome back to my garden!  One of the most exciting happenings of the past week was having my good furriend Chey stop by.  I was able to give her the full garden tour.

 

 

After warning her about Figaro, we strolled the grounds.

 

My artichokes are growing fast!  Do you know that Mom and Dad harvested one already and there are 10 more on the plant?  I have to purr extra hard to make sure they stay strong and healthy.

 

Our fragrant climbing rose had roses that almost reach the ground.  I can sniff them myself without an assist.

 

When I sit in my garden I know that I'm a part of something very special.
