Story & Pictures
In case you haven’t noticed — in case you’ve been waiting for me to tell you about them — I posted 11 1/2 week photos on Saturday. Then the Winter Gifts finally decided they would introduce themselves to the world yesterday, so their story is in the Cat Tails section: http://www.lostwoodswegies.com/cat_tails54.htm. They say they are sorry for being such delinquents. Sorta.
Tomorrow the little beasties go off to the vet for their second set of vaccinations. I can’t believe they will be 12 weeks old tomorrow! Izzy will be leaving in two weeks — just as soon as she gets her health cert, turns 14 weeks and the weather is acceptable. Her new mom and dad are so excited. Brenda and I need to decide when we’ll be able to meet up so Keona can go to Colorado. Yes, Brenda has decided Keona is her girl. Ohanna is going out west and I’ll deliver her in person to her new mom in Chehalis, WA in mid-June at a TICA show. Natane is still hoping someone will love her forever. In the meantime, we’ll continue to spoil her rotten. I should have time to take pictures of them after we get home, but I may wait until Thursday evening — especially since I just took new ones on Saturday.
Rand has a likely new home — a home that is willing to wait until I’m completely comfortable with allowing him to leave. I still worry about lingering issues from his ear infection. He still has his head tilt. I’ll get him neutered, wait for him to recover, then work out the details for his adoption if everything looks okay. Here’s a picture I took of him a week or so ago.
He has a wonderful coat — thick, plush, long, and so soft! I love touching it. His personality has just blossomed, too. He loves to sleep with us and in the middle of the night he’ll decide he is in dire need of loves. Then he walks around on the bed purring and trilling, with the occasional little meow mixed in. It’s cute — if a bit disruptive to our sleep. But he’s such a doll, who could be mad for long?
I have other news — non-cat news — that I’ll share tomorrow. I’m hoping to have a picture to accompany the news, but even if I don’t get one, I’ll share. Promise! A hint… I’ll be heading off to Oregon on Saturday to spend a week.

Congrats on the new grandson (you made mention of his impending arrival and trip to Oregon for a week). Enjoy your time in wine country. I am familiar with how beautiful it is down there as we travel through Oregon anually on our trip to California to visit family. We live in Washington west of Seattle.

You’ve got it, Michelle. As it happens, I’ll be right in the heart of wine country as Heather and Patrick live SW of Portland. And since you’re in WA west of Seattle, if you get a chance how about coming to meet me and a couple of the cats (Basia and Ohanna for sure) at the show in Chehalis in June? It’s really not that far from Seattle…

I definately know where Chehalis is. If we are still here and haven’t moved to San Diego (navy life) It would be my pleasure to come and meet you and see some babies - well beautiful girls! We weren’t supposed to leave until Feb of ‘09 but it has been changed to Sept ‘08. Who knows if they up it some more!
